Checklist for road trips

If you are traveling with your baby by car, you can bring quite a bit more compared to flying. While you should still resist the urge to bring everything but the kitchen sink, you do have a little more room to pack a few extra essentials:

  • A fully packed day trip bag
  • Car seats or booster seats
  • A travel potty
  • A travel cot/bassinet/playard if you are staying overnight
  • Water and juice
  • Baby food and snacks
  • Clean bottles and nipples
  • Pacifiers
  • A bottle and food warmer
  • A baby mobile or crib toys
  • Blankets and pillows
  • CDs or DVDs, Portable DVD player, MP3 player, books
  • Sunglasses
  • An extra set of car keys
  • Cell phones and chargers
