For many parents the thought of travelling with a infant is a nightmare.
Travelling with a baby in tow is difficult with hordes of items to be remembered and packed.
However with a little thoughtful planning, a handy travel checklist and right baby gear it can be a breeze through.
The key of successful packing is to
1. Decide the type of Luggage you are planning to use.
2. Assess the space in luggage.
3. The number of days you need the stuff.
It is quite tempting to haul off the entire baby stuff out of the house but trust me there won’t be use of atleast half of them.
With weight restrictions in domestic and international air travel, it is even more difficult to decide the priority of items to be packed.
Here is an easy baby travel checklist which allows prioritization of stuff.
Take a printout of this travel checklist and tick the items as needed, high priority, medium and low priority, pack up the high priority items first followed by the medium, if there is no extra space leave out the low priority ones.
Most importantly, be sure to pack lots of patience and good humor !!!.
