Traveling is fabulous, but it can be a tiring experience with young kids. I've set foot on 6 continents and been to nearly 50 countries so I know everything you pack needs to be practical, multi-purpose and as lightweight as possible, especially when traveling with a little one. Here are some amazing travel items for you to check out – I’ve sampled them all, and think they are fabulous.
1. Crane and Lion Wrap
Make sure everything as multipurpose as possible. For example, planes rides tend to be cold, so instead of taking a baby blanket, wear a wrap sweater. I like the super soft Crane & Lion wrap sweater as it’s the perfect cover for when my little boy falls asleep in my arms. It also can also be used as a nursing cover up. It’s lightweight, elegant, and useful for places where you might need to have covered shoulders.

3. Jeep by Delta Children Ultralight Adventure Stroller
A solid stroller is a must while traveling, and the Jeep by Delta Children Ultralight Adventure Stroller is a great option for sunny days as it has an oversized canopy with a pop out SPF 50 sun visor. It protects your little one from the sun, is sturdy and folds up easily. It also has reflective shoulder straps that ensure you can be seen at night and will work well on rocky sidewalks and streets.

4. Poop Opps and Barf Remover
I never leave home, whether flying or driving, without a small bottle of Poop, Opps and Barf Remover. What is magical about it, is that it removes odors rather than masking them. It uses natural enzymes which neutralize and eliminates odors, and for a car or plane it is a must have both for travel and in your home. It is made in the USA.

Little ones like to keep their hands busy especially if they have to be sitting. For airplane travel consider ALEX Toys Creamy Crayons. They are duel purpose, perfect for drawing and they come with paintbrushes so just add a little cup of water and suddenly you can watercolor. One of my personal favorites.
