4. Boon TRIP Travel Drying Rack This fun little drying rack is perfect for and slim for any vacation or getaway. Sleek in design & complete with a brush this will be the perfect feeding travel essential.

Sleep Essentials:

5. Tavel Crib/pack and play :By far my favorite travel pack and play has definitely been the Graco Travel Lite® Crib With Stages. As a matter of fact I always keep this crib in my trunk because I never know when I need to use it with my toddler. Whether it’s for a visit at Great Aunts house who has a lot of breakable items or because it’s nap time my almost two year old still enjoys using this portable crib wherever we go. It’s also so slim it fits in even the smallest hotel rooms.

6. Another great product for babies when you’re short on space is the Summer Infant Travel Bed. This is ideal for those little ones that are still still a few months old. You can simply take it anywhere so that your little one can get some much needed ZZZ’s

On The Go:

7. Light Weight Stroller: Inglesina Net Stroller :  There are a lot of “lightweight” strollers out on the market and many of them are fantastic but one of the top ones on my list is the Inglesina Net. Not only is this stroller gorgeous and backed by the Inglesina name, but it’s crazy easy to clean, has a huge basket and perfect for any outdoor (or indoor adventure).

8. Baby Carrier: Ergobaby 360 All Carry Positions Award-Winning Cool Mesh Ergonomic Baby Carrier. A baby carrier is a MUST on any parents list. So on vacation,especially in the summer a cool mesh carrier is an essential. Because you will probably go places where a stroller may not be convenienent or allowed, its always important to be ready.  It has an exceptional lower back support with wide wraparound waistband maximizes comfort especially post C-section. Extra padded shoulder straps helps evenly distribute your baby’s weight. But what I love most is that it’s BREATHABLE. Making it cooler for you & baby with soft, lightweight & durable mesh. Complete with a  UPF 50+ tuckaway baby hood for sun & wind protection.

9. If you’re traveling by car then the Diono Travel Pal is a must to keep everything in place and includes an insulated cup holder. YES! Diono the Award Winning Car seat company (with some of the most amazing car seats on the market) has a fantastic line of car products that are an everyday essential. If you haven’t checked the line up of great products than head over and see them for yourself.  Plus keep an eye out for some fabulous new products hitting the market very soon that will be absolute game changers.

 

Everyday Essentials:

10. Wet Bag: Wet bags have been a parenting essential since the beginning for me.  Because of the various sizes they come in you can get a couple to help you sort out clothes and keep dirty clothes away from the clean. A favorite is the Skip Hop Wet/Dry Bag. There are so many great ones out there though, just don’t go on vacation without one. They are perfect for the beach, long car rides and more! If you’re not familiar with wet bags,they’re pretty much a waterproof bag that you can put wet clothing in such as swimsuits or soiled clothing. They can also be easily tossed in the washing machine to wash for the next use.

11.B.Box  DIAPER WALLET – I had to include another product from B.Box because well I love this brand and their Diaper Wallet is AMAZING.It includes a dual Chamber for Diaper and Wipes, and a Wipe Clean Mat. Perfect for everyday use or for when you are on vacation and don’t have your everyday changing needs on hand.

Bath Essential: 

12. Munchkin Inflatable bath tub:   One of the toughest things (next to sleeping) during vacation is giving baths. That’s why having a portable bath that’s easy to take anywhere is a must. The Munchkin Inflatable bath tub is great because it also includes a White Hot safety disc that turns white when water is too hot. This padded tub makes big tubs comfy for kids and has a textured bottom so baby won’t slip. It’s ideal for babies 6-24 months. It’s perfect for travel because it deflates and folds easily for when you head off on your next adventure.
