Every day we use dozens of items for the care, feeding, cleaning, transport and sleep of our baby, but when it is time to go on vacation it is essential to choose. Do you know what the basic accessories are and which ones are expendable?
Baby's suitcase
In summer children need much less clothing, and that is a great advantage when preparing their luggage. Leave narrow and uncomfortable clothes at home and avoid excess clothing. In a medium-sized handbag you should fit everything you need to spend 10 or 15 days away from home.
Choose the most suitable clothes for the summer taking into account the climate of the area that you have chosen as your destination. In general, the ideal thing for summer is to dress babies with comfortable cotton garments and protect your head from sunlight. Don't forget to put a thin cardigan and a toquilla in your suitcase in case it cools at night.
Do not take a thousand toys. The child will be very entertaining absorbing all the visual information of his new scenario. Just have your favorite toy nearby. The toy of the stroller can also serve to entertain you during the trip.
The toilet bag
You will need to include your comb, the necessary diapers for the first two days (you can always buy beyond where you go), your crepe for the diaper area, wet wipes, moisturizer and sunscreen, children's gel and shampoo, your little scissors and your Toothbrush, if you already use it.
If you go to a hotel, you won't need hand soap. Too you can do without the towels and the shower layer. Nor do you need to double the baby toilet bottles. Surely you will have a supermarket nearby. It is preferable that you purchase new items as you need them, to make the round trip loaded. Dispense with the entire boxes of the items pharmacy, like the strips, it will be enough that you carry a few loose in the bag.
Like at home
Holidays are not the best time to break the child's main habits. We move away from home and everything we know and although travel is a stimulating change for its development, we must avoid that the change is very abrupt and seek Keep your routines more basic.
If the child uses a pacifier, it is better to always carry one by hand. If you use a bottle, the same. And if you are very attached to your favorite toy or are used to reading a particular story before bedtime, we must also include them in our hand luggage.
Dispense with large and showy toys and choose several small games that fit in the beach bag or stroller. This way you will be able to keep him entertained with a varied, light and transportable repertoire.
Food, walk and sleep
When we go on vacation, we must be clear about what things that normally surround our baby are expendable and which are not.
Baby cots are very useful, but if you don't have enough space to include one in your vacation luggage, a large and comfortable carrycot will provide the baby with a comfortable crib during the night and it will also perfectly fulfill the cradle function during daytime naps.
The same happens at lunchtime. Most children use a high chair, although if you need this accessory it can be temporarily replaced by a stroller that allows the child to eat with his back straight and safely.
In this sense, it is best to have a duo baby transport system, since these types of convertibles are a practical and versatile 2in1 that allows us to dispense with various accessories and reduce the number of packages of our luggage. A single element is transformed into carrycot or stroller, thus offering the best solution to our movements. You can see how the Chicco Duo Urban Plus in this video.
