Traveling with Baby: Road Trip

We are getting ready to take our first family vacation together! It's a road trip, about 5 hours from home.  I want to make sure we don't forget anything so we can just enjoy our family time together.  Here is a list I put together of things I need to pack for our family road trip!

Traveling with Baby: Road Trip

Sleep

Portable crib: The hotel may have cribs, but we are bring our portable crib just in case.
Bedding:  Sheets for the crib and blankets.  Don't forget that favorite comfort blanket!
Noise Machine:  If you don't want to pack one download a white noise app to your phone or tablet.
Pacifiers: If your child is so inclined.
Monitor:  For peace of mind if you are on the deck or in another room.
Night Light:  So you can see during late night feedings or diaper changing.
Car Seat Pillow: Car comfort is key!

Eat

Formula:  I am going away for 4 nights so I am bringing a whole container.  It's just easier that way.

Meals:  Bring some easy packaged baby food.

Snacks: I'm bringing Puffs, Cheese, Grapes, Bananas...

Mesh Feeder:  We like to put frozen fruit in this.  It's a teething lifesaver.

Bibs:  I am bringing disposable bibs for convenience.  I found them in the dollar store.

Water Bottle:  I found a kids water bottle at Target.  We are going to be outside a lot so this is a must.

Table Covers:  Covers the table so you can put finger foods in front of them and it's sanitary. 

Bottles, bowls, spoons...

Play

Go Pod:  Get one.  No seriously, now.

Toys:  No bored moments!

Outside Blanket:  We plan on being outside a lot so we have a picnic blanket.

Pool

Bathing suit:  I'm packing two just in case.

Swim Diapers:  Most pools expect parents to be responsible about pool "incidents"

Beach Towel:  Many hotels furnish these, however I like to bring my own just in case. 

Pool toys:  playtime!

Pool float:  I have this. I love it.

Sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses...

Toiletries

Diapers and wipes: No explanation needed!  Bring plenty so you don't have to buy any while away.

Medicines:  I'm bringing gas drops, baby tylenol and baby ibuprofen.  You never know.

First Aid Kit:  Band-aids and such.

Hand sanitizer:  I believe things get exponentially grosser the further from home you get.

Bath wash, lotion, powder...

Dress

Clothes:  2 sets of clothes for each day away.  Plus 2 extra.

Pajamas:  Comfy for sleep
