Begin with the Correct Baby Travel Bag
Choose a spacious bag with numerous compartments that is easy to carry. Backpacks work great, especially if you’re juggling a baby, stroller, and 3 other things in your hand! Look for one that’s easy to wipe clean (you’ll thank us later).
Employ Organisers or Pouches
Dear parents, organising saves time and makes your travel super easy. Instead of packing everything into one giant space, use small zip pouches or clear organisers by category. A pouch for clothes, a pouch for feeding, a pouch for diapers, and wipes. That way, when your baby does spit up or requires a quick change, you're not rummaging through a mess.
Packing Hacks That Work
-
Use zip bags or pouches to categories items, such as food in one and clothes in another. It keeps you from rummaging through a cluttered mess.
-
Store the highest-use items (such as a bib or wipes) in the outer compartment.
-
Don't overstuff. If you're out for the day, you probably don't need five toys or a blanket unless necessary.
-
Restock the bag when you return home so that it's always prepared to leave.

One Last Tip
Packing a baby travel bag can feel like preparing for a great human adventure, but after doing it a few times, you get the hang of it. The secret sauce? Keep it simple, keep it tidy, and consider what your baby is most in need of.
Pro Parent Tip: Keep a small pouch of emergency “meltdown items” like a pacifier, a snack, and their favourite toy within arm’s reach.
