Traveling with Baby:
Real mom tips for saving
on time and sanity.

Plan ahead
Take time the night before to run through any possible scenarios and create a backup plan. Some rules to live by: Always have an extra set of clothes on hand (just in case!), and when in doubt, pack one more diaper than you think you’ll need.

Pack distractions
Head off any cranky outbursts by having a secret stash of toys on hand that baby will love. Try bringing a special selection of toys you only take out when you're traveling.

Time things wisely
If you're going to be in the car for a while, try to plan your drive around baby's nap schedule. A long car ride will be less of a headache if baby's dozing off for most of the time you're on the road.
