BABYBJÖRN Toilet Trainer - White/Black BABYBJĂ–RN Toilet Trainer - White/Black
Price: $21.99
List Price: $29.99

Here is a list of items that we have found extremely valuable to our travel experiences.

Baby Bjorn or any other baby carrier. This item is great for walking around with a newborn. It's compact, easy to store and extremely convient. Most babies love to be in them because they are so close to you and can look around when they are faced forward. Be sure to read the specifications before use.


Sit-n-Stroll-This is a genius idea.  It's a carseat and stroller in one.  Wheels pop out of the bottom when it's in the carseat mode, so you can push your child around either the airport or out on a walk.  It's also great for hopping in a cab or rental car.   If you're comfortable sharing the cost with a friend, around $200, they're a great item to co-own as the wear and tear is light and they are not used that often.  You can also use it for an extra carseat in another car, this is what we do.  The only down side is they don't fit down all airline aisles and can be difficult to put into stroller mode at first.

Pack-N-Play-Every parent knows that this is a must have. We have the basic Graco and we love it. I don't think you need all of the bells and whistles that they have now. It's just a place to sleep. Check with your hotel, they may have one there and you won't have to bring yours.

Blow-up bed for toddler- We bought a Winnie-the-Pooh blow-up bed from Costco for about $20.  It has a foot pump and is great for going places where our toddler doesn't have a bed. It's a bit of a pain to blow up.   There is a raised area around the sides so they don't fall out.  We also have one that was more expensive from The Right Start, but she prefers Pooh.  This is not appropriate for infants.


Reclinable umbrella stroller-We have a Maclaren that we have just beat up. It has traveled everywhere with us. It's great because it fully reclines and when the baby goes to sleep we can go out to eat or do whatever.


Portable DVD Player-This is great for the traveling time, either in the car or in an airplane.  We have a small Creative.  If you have a long flight, it is definitely worth it.  You can also check out movies at most airports now and turn them in at your destination.  


Diaper Bag-A good diaper bag that has ample room and pockets is great for travel. It's nice if it can also be used as your bag to cut down on extras.
