5 great baby travel items

So here are a few little tidbits I have found, perfect for bringing on your next travels with babies.

1. The Sack n Seat turns any chair into an instant high-chair, without any fuss and folds up easily to fit into your diaper bag. So whether you're going out for coffee or to a restaurant that's maybe not "equipped" shall we say, you'll be ready! Now if only they made something foldable for places that don't have a changing table...

2. The Spork. Spoon & fork in one, you'll never be without the one you really need. This one's also great to stick in your kid's lunchbox. This smooth, easy to handle organic bamboo spork is perfectly sized for toddlers and preschoolers. Stronger than wood, the fork and spoon combo is formed to fit a child's grasp, and has a smooth, satiny feel.

3. The Tommee Tippee Explora bib. Okay, so in all honesty, when E. was a baby, I didn't much bother with bibs. I tried and found that they were more of a pain, with her trying to pull them off, and the bib getting dirty meant that I had to toss it in the laundry (i had an endless stack of cloth bibs) so I just most often let her get her clothes dirty and tossed those in the laundry. However, although this was fine most of the time, when traveling, extra clothes (or laundry) is not always handy, hence this great bib. It rolls up so that it's easy to carry around with you and the BPA-free silicone is easy to wipe off. Why have the extra laundry and mess?

4. The Beaba Formula and Snack Container. I knew that when traveling, breastfeeding would be the easiest, least complicated option there was. No formula to worry about, ready to go anyplace, anywhere. So I intended to breastfeed at least until E. was 6 months so that I wouldn't have to worry about feeding while traveling. Yeah... well, things don't always go as planned. An insufficient milk production made formula necessary even though, stubbornly, I continued to try nursing until E. was about 6 months. That being said, this is a great way to carry around pre-measured portions of formula, for those of us who need it. Whatever the reason. Oh, and it also doubles up as a snack container, so that you can keep on using it once the milk days are over.

5. The Gro-Anywhere Blind. Perfect for travel, when the accomodations' pretty curtains don't exactly block out the 5am sunrise, or 9pm sunset, the blind is easily installable to the window with suction cups and blocks out the light completely for a good sleep.
