BABIES / KIDS ESSENTIALS
We found this cover before our last cruise and it was a game changer! We had our 11 month old and our 3 year old both in our one room, so having him in a dark/quieter pack n play helped a lot. And SO much cheaper than a SlumberPod.
If you're someone who doesn't mind paying a little extra for the name brand to know what you're getting, here is the SlumberPod. Everyone that I know that's used it SWEARS by it. It's obviously much more space than the pack n play cover above and has spots to put in the baby monitor.
We drive to most of our vacations, which means long car rides with 2 kids. This dry-erase workbook has been such a win for us. Our 3 year old enjoys doing it and we feel better about him doing educational work before all the tablet time he undeniably gets on vacation.
It seems like our kids get just a little sick every time we go on vacation. We LOVE these saline misters and use them all the time. They help to deal with the dry air that we tend to deal with every time we head to the beach or on a cruise!
Travel Bug Baby 2 Piece Car Seat Strap Cover Teether Set (Pink)
We love these for long car-rides with the babies! It's always the worst feeling when you get out at a stop and see those little lines on your baby's neck/ shoulders this takes that issue away and is still safe for them!
Evenflo Pivot Xplore All-Terrain Stroller Wagon (Adventurer Gray)
We are IN LOVE with this wagon. We also purchased the adapter from Evenflo that allowed us to pop our Evenflo car seat directly onto it when our son was still a newborn. It let us have him still secured while giving our 3 year old lots of room underneath! We use it all the time!
Evenflo Pivot Suite Travel System with LiteMax Infant Car Seat with Anti-Rebound Bar Devon Gray
This is the newer version of the travel system we've had for years and still use/love! It also works with the Pivot Xplore wagon when you get the adapter! We recommend this system and the wagon stroller to EVERYONE!! Get this system with your first and then add the wagon instead of a double stroller when you have your second. It's been so perfect for us for so many different things!
Our boys both love playing with this. We usually leave it in the car to act as another fidget for them. I do recommend hot-gluing the velcro pieces down instead of just sticking them, they're not very strong and can be a choking hazard if they come off.
We got these for our 3 year old to use with his tablet on long car rides and he loves them. I love that they can be bluetooth or used with an aux cord. He also using them when we see fireworks or when he's overstimulated. Not quite noise-cancelling, but perfect for him.
LOVE this diaper bag. Lots of compartments, carry or wear or slide on your luggage! AND easy to clean! A win across the board.
We didn't start using a bottle warmer until our second and immediately wished we had for our first! ESPECIALLY when traveling, it makes getting a bottle ready so much faster.
We are not to the age to use this yet, but I have friends that take this with them every time they travel and love it! Great to have for restaurants, car rides, plane rides, etc while traveling!
Was given this bag last year and use it CONSTANTLY. Waterproof/easy to clean. I always keep it in the car ready to go for anything (random playground, pool day, parks, heading to a friend's house, etc) and keep extra clothes for both kids, swim stuff, sunscreen, extra diapers, wipes, and snacks.
These are a MUST if you get the above bag (or any knockoff), they make it so much more usable! So good for created sections to hold everything better and if you're bringing food or drinks that you don't want to get smushed it can be turned horizontally! Cheap and easy? That's a win!
These are a MUST if you get the above bag (or any knockoff), they make it so much more usable! Perfect for keys, water bottles, hairties, etc especially so you're not digging around trying to find small stuff with a kid on your hip!
I use these everywhere. I have them in my car bag, in my personal bag, in my living room, in the boys' playroom, the list goes on. They are the perfect size and easy to see through so you know what it is.
