Travels with Baby Checklist
-
allow plenty of time, whether you're traveling by car, train or plane. On road trips, figure on a stop every couple of hours for feedings, diaper changes and wiggle time.
-
carry plastic bags for convenient diaper disposal.
-
buy your baby a seat on the airplane. He'll be more comfortable buckled into his familiar car seat, and the harness will provide extra safety in turbulence.
-
remember medications your baby takes on a regular basis. It's always best to have a few extra days' supply, just in case your return is delayed.
-
pack outlet covers
