Overnight Stay Essentials for Our Toddler
11
items These are things I always make sure to pack with us when we do any overnight stays with our son. We have used these in hotel rooms, AirBNBs and family homes.
This is the travel crib we use. We have used it since our son was a baby. He is not an escape artist so this works for us. It is super lightweight and the bag it comes in is spacious enough for me to pack other bedtime things in it such as extra crib...
Chicco Alfa Lite Lightweight Travel Playard
My son has used a sound machine since he was born - literally! I even used this portable one in the hospital after I gave birth to him! We always take it with us to make sure his sleeping environment is similar to how he sleeps at home. I love the Fr...
Frida Baby 2-in-1 Sound Machine & Nightlight
As of right now, my son still uses a sleep sack and he currently uses Burt’s Bees. They are one of my favorite wearable baby brands. I appreciate that it is made of organic cotton and has a double zipper. Their website has sales all the time so keep ...
Solid Organic Lightweight Beekeeper™ Wearable Baby Blanket - Nightfall
This portable blackout curtain has helped us with naps in rooms that get a lot of light during trips. We actually have 2.

Aurora Playful Spot Stuffed Animal 13"
I read to my son before bed every night so we keep that routine while we are away and he really enjoys this book. He likes opening and closing the flaps. It’s definitely one of his favorite bedtimes books.
Spot Says Goodnight Book (Fun with Spot)
I LOVE this chair. You can use it on the floor or attached to a chair at the table, inside or outside, with the tray or not. It’s easy to wipe clean. It folds up and comes in a carry bag.
Bright Starts Pop 'N Sit Portable Booster Chair
I bring this along with a travel bottle filled with fragrance free dish soap to make sure my son’s cups and such can get cleaned and not lost in the shuffle of a dishwasher. It is especially useful for hotel rooms.
OXO Tot Travel Drying Rack with Brush
I like to set up a portable changing area when we are away and have everything stored together so anyone can change a diaper if needed. This is also good to take with you for restroom/backseat changes if you are road tripping.
Skip Hop Portable Baby Changing Pad Pronto
I use my bum brush every time I change my son, so having a travel size comes in handy on trips and I love that it has its own case.
Bumco Baby Bum Brush + Diaper Cream Spatula
Okay, so this isn’t an essential, but I really like bringing a cheap baby gate with us when we stay overnight somewhere. You never know how beneficial it may be to have the ability to corral your toddler when you’re in an unknown AirBNB or hotel room...
