Summer is here, and while planning your journey with your baby, you might feel both excited and a little anxious. To ensure your baby experiences the comfort of home during travel and holidays, we’ve prepared some helpful suggestions for your trip.
The key to a comfortable journey and holiday is careful planning. Before setting off, consider your baby’s needs and essentials, and plan accordingly. How long will the journey take, and will you have stops along the way? Your baby will need care for sleeping, feeding, cleaning, and toileting during the trip. It’s helpful to organise these essentials into easily accessible sections using organiser bags. Packing feeding and cleaning supplies in waterproof organisers can prevent potential mishaps during the journey.
If you’re traveling by car, ensure your baby has a car seat suited to their weight and age. Always use the car seat for travel. To keep your baby comfortable and prevent sweating during long trips, consider purchasing an Aircosy car seat liner.
Protect your baby from sunlight by installing sunshades on your car windows.
For a comfortable and pleasant trip, dress your baby in lightweight organic cotton clothing to prevent overheating. Always have spare clothes with you, along with extra bibs for feeding and playtime aprons for activities.
Don’t forget to bring your baby’s favourite toys to keep them entertained during the journey. Playing games while on the road is also valuable for your baby’s development. For example, choose a colour and point out things of that colour along the way (e.g., green: trees, grass, cars, buildings).
For both your comfort and your baby’s, take breaks during long journeys. When planning your holiday, choose accommodation options suitable for your baby and create a sleep-friendly environment. During your holiday, avoid taking your baby outside during midday hours when the sun is strongest. At other times, ensure your baby wears sunscreen, a hat, and appropriate clothing, and keep them in shaded areas.
If your baby will be swimming during your holiday, UV-protective swimsuits are the best choice. Opt for long-sleeve, long-leg swimsuits to protect your baby’s sensitive skin from prolonged sun exposure.
Don’t forget to pack organic cotton towels, ponchos, and muslins to dry your baby after swimming in the sea or pool.
Comfort and practicality are always essential for families traveling with a baby.
