With spring starting to bloom and summer just around the corner, I wanted to revisit all of the products that have been life savers and time savers for my two girls.
Whether we’re traveling on a plane or car, we always want the lightest and most compact products. We have a pack and play that has worked for us, but I was looking for something not as bulky. This travel crib was perfect. It’s so much lighter and smaller which just means we can bring more things with us.
Both of our girls like their dark rooms with white noise at home. When we travel, sleep isn’t always the best, but once I found this pack and play cover, things got better. It’s very compact, easy to pack and is wicked affordable. It’s great to have especially in hotel rooms or shared spaces.
I was nervous for our first trip since moving our older daughter out of her crib. I didn’t want to bring two pack and plays to our beach rental, but they had a few twin beds. I found these inflatable bumpers and they work perfectly. They’re small and compact and take maybe a few minutes to set up. My toddler was safe in her twin bed and we didn’t have to bring another pack and play.
These bags are perfect whether you have kids or not. They’re super compact and can hold extra clean clothes, dirty clothes, wet clothes, really anything you need to keep separate from other things. I love bringing a few of these to the beach to change out of wet, sandy bathing suits before we get in the car.
Tommee Tippee Travel Bottle Warmer
As much as I love our smaller rechargeable bottle warmer, I equally love this Tommee Tippee option too. You fill the metal chamber with hot water and it will stay hot all day and can be used to heat up multiple bottles. It’s also great if you use formula and want to bring hot water with you. Both babies would only drink warm bottles so this was a life saver on multiple outings.
Portable Baby Bassinet and Travel Play Area
This is one of my favorite summertime outdoor products. It’s not always easy to find a place to lay your baby down to take a rest or if you have other kids that need your attention. This baby dome is safe, comfortable and folds up. It has UV protection, which is so important as well as great ventilation. We used it with both kids at home and almost every vacation we went on.
Evenflo Pivot Xplore All-Terrain Stroller Wagon
There’s a funny story about this wagon. The first year we had our daughter, we still wanted to go on our annual trip to Ogunquit, ME. The family in the room next to us had this wagon folded up outside of their room. I pretty much stalked them to ask what stroller it was because it was the best baby contraption I had ever seen. Since then, this wagon has been a staple on so many family vacations and outings.
Portable White Noise Sound Machine
I actually bought this portable sound machine for a vacation my husband and I were going on before we even had kids! Once my oldest came along, it was passed along to her. It recharges easily and is so easy to use. I throw it in our diaper bag for daily use.
One of these cups will forever live in the car, my purse, diaper bag and both girls’ backpacks. Only dry snacks are allowed in my car so these come on every single trip with us. They’re light, easy to hold and easy to clean. I know they come in a two pack, but two is never enough.
This is just the beginning of the products I love taking on any trip with us. Which ones are your favorites??
