Travelling with a baby can feel like a monumental task, but with the right essentials in your baby travel kit, you’ll be ready for any adventure. Whether you’re headed on a road trip, visiting family, or simply enjoying a day out, having a well-prepared travel kit will help ensure your baby is comfortable, clean, and entertained. Here’s a guide to creating a perfect travel kit for your little one.

It’s no surprise that nappies top the list! Always pack more than you think you’ll need.

Here's a general guide for nappy changes per day based on size:

1. Newborn:10-12
2. Size 1: 8-10
3. Size 2: 6-8
4. Size 3: 5-7
5. Size 4 : 4-6
6. Size 5 : 4-5
7. Size 6 : 4-5

When traveling, you never know when or where you’ll need to do a nappy change. A change mat is a must for hygienic and comfortable nappy changes, no matter the location.

Depending on your baby’s age, you’ll need to pack formula, breast milk, or baby food. Don’t forget baby bottles, bottle warmers, and an insulated bag to keep everything fresh. If your baby is on solids, bring along snacks in spill-proof containers to make feeding easy on the go.

4. Baby Clothes and Layers

Babies can be messy, so pack extra clothes in case of spills!  A couple of onesies, pants, and socks are always a good idea. If you’re travelling to a place with unpredictable weather, pack extra layers, such as light sweaters or jackets, to keep your baby warm and comfortable.

5. Blanket and Swaddle

A soft blanket can serve multiple purposes—whether it’s for a quick nap, shade from the sun, or warmth during a chilly evening. Swaddle blankets are lightweight and great for wrapping your baby or using as a nursing cover.

6. Toys and Comfort Items

Travel can be unsettling for babies, so be sure to pack a few favourite toys or comfort items, like a stuffed animal or teething ring. These familiar objects will help soothe and entertain your baby during travel.

7. First Aid Kit

A small first aid kit tailored to your baby’s needs is essential for peace of mind. Include items like baby-safe pain reliever, thermometer, nasal aspirator, bandages, and hand sanitiser. You never know when a little bump or bruise might occur, so being prepared is always a good idea.

8. Sunscreen and Hat

If you’re travelling somewhere sunny, protect your baby’s sensitive skin with a baby-safe sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat. Babies under six months should stay out of direct sunlight, but protective measures are still important for quick outings in the sun.
