Cute Accessories for Your Baby’s First Vacay

Even if you think that you are an expert when it comes to packing light for trips, traveling with a baby will have you rethink your minimalist packing strategies. While it might feel like you have to pack everything for your little one, it’s better to pack only the essentials. Most parents are tempted to pack almost every travel product just in case, but they often regret having to carry so much stuff. To help you pack the cutest must-have items, we’ve made a list of the travel essentials that will help you and your little one enjoy your next vacation.

WHAT TO PACK FOR YOUR BABY’S FIRST VACATION

Clothes and linens

Baby clothing nowadays is more adorable than ever and you can get almost anything for your little ones to style them the way you want. With such a huge range of options available, you can easily spend your whole budget on cute infant socks, baby sun hats, and bodysuits. But you shouldn’t get too hasty as you’ll need a lot of other useful products to keep your little one cozy and protected when out and about. Sleep sacks, sweaters, stockings, mittens, and fleece sleepers are all essentials that can ensure your tot stays warm and safe while traveling.

Travel blanket

Even if you’re traveling during winter, your baby shouldn’t have a thick coat or pram suit on to ensure that their seat belt can be fastened correctly. So, to keep your little one warm and cozy while driving, you should get a cute hooded blanket to help your kiddo stay super toasty while ensuring your kid’s car safety. You can easily line their car seat with the travel blanket, pull the seat harness through the blanket’s sides to securely fasten it, and then cover your baby’s chest and legs to ensure they’re as snug as a bug.

Portable crib

Depending on your travel destination, you might need a portable crib because not all hotels are equipped with one. If you’re planning an extended stay where there’s no suitable sleep option for your infant, a portable crib comes in handy to ensure your baby sleeps peacefully. You should also keep in mind that you can check up to two items per child, including a car seat, stroller, or crib, without having to pay any extra charges on flights when traveling nationally or internationally.

Baby sun hat

When you’re heading to the beach for some fun time with your newborn, you must get a baby sun hat for extra protection from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Since a baby’s skin is more sensitive and prone to sun damage, you should always have a baby sun hat at hand to avoid excessive sun exposure to their skin as it can lead to skin cancer and eye injury.

You can find baby sun hats in cute designs and a range of fun colors to match the outfit to make your baby look more adorable. You should also choose a baby sun hat with a wide brim for maximum protection.

Personalized tie-dye onesie

Because tie-dye clothes are trendy these days, you can get a customized tie-dye onesie for your little one for the perfect boho vibes. You can also get matching tie-dye dresses to capture some adorable moments.

Stroller toys

Infants and toddlers can easily get bored, so it’s a good idea to bring different toys to keep them entertained and busy. If you’re planning a long trip that involves lots of walking, you should take a travel stroller with you and equip it with your baby’s favorite toys. You can get a chewable toy for teething kids to help calm them down while soothing their pain to some extent.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Traveling with a baby can be a whole different experience than traveling alone or with older kids. To make your first vacation with your little one more memorable, you must have all the travel gear and cute accessories to dress them well and keep them happy. While this list contains the basic items you need for a great trip, we might have missed some items that you think are a must-have for your tot. So, consider this a basic checklist that you can personalize according to your needs.
