When it comes to packing, there are two main methods depending on how you are traveling to your destination.
Traveling by plane gets you further distances faster but you are limited in the amount of baggage you can bring hence limited in what you can bring overall. And in that case, you always want to consider packing "by the bag" taking into account the space you have with what you need.
Road tripping somewhere with Baby has its benefits for a plethora of reasons but near the top of the list is that you don’t have to worry as much about packing everything you need into one or two bags.
Even if it is just thrown around the car in any random bag that you could find on your way out the door.
Either way, here is an itemized list for everything you may need when traveling with baby. You can tailor it to the method in which you are traveling, adding, subtracting what you may need. Plus a few additional lists in case you are going to any specific destination such as the mountains or the beach.
Additionally you can shop some of my favorite products that I make sure to never travel without.
