Essential Items Reported by Parents to Always Carry in Their Diaper Packs
In the world of parenting, preparing for a trip can be a daunting task. However, with the right tools, the journey can be made smoother and more enjoyable for both parents and children. Here's a round-up of some must-have travel essentials for parents, as reviewed by Claudia Stieglitz on the BuzzFeed page.
Firstly, the Fridababy thermometer proves to be an invaluable tool for monitoring fevers in infants right through to adults. For those on-the-go meals, suction plates stick to restaurant tables, making food preparation and clean-up a breeze.
When it comes to feeding, formula dispensers allow for pre-portioned formula to be easily added to a bottle, making feeding easier during travel. Tumbler cups with a soft straw and leakproof design are safe for various activities when a child is ready for a straw.
For teething babies, teethers with different textured ends soothe sore gums, while a silicone placemat offers entertainment with its built-in teether and straps for attaching toys or utensils. It also protects babies from germ-ridden restaurant tables.
Diaper changes are made easier with a changing mat, a softer, easy-to-clean upgrade for diaper changing, especially in public. To prevent and treat diaper rashes, Aquaphor diaper rash cream is highly recommended. A stain treater spray is also a useful addition for treating fabric stains caused by babies.
Keeping children occupied during long flights can be a challenge, but a busy board can help keep them engaged. For those times when a diaper change is necessary, a disposable placemat can be easily discarded after use.
Organizing items in the diaper bag is essential, and diaper bag organizing pouches help keep items organized and prevent the need to empty the entire bag to find small items like toys, pacifiers, or car keys. The clear bags also allow for easy viewing of contents without opening them.
To keep children safe from germs, hand sanitizer is a must-have for reducing germ exposure after changing diapers or spending time in indoor play areas. A smock bib offers added protection from food stains during meals, while a stroller fan can control a baby's climate while on the go.
For those long errands, a snack container keeps puffs fresh and contained, and pouch tops with flow-control prevent food from spilling onto clothes, car seats, toys, etc. When it comes to keeping children entertained, a pacifier holder keeps two pacifiers clean and organized, preventing loss and contamination.
Lastly, swaddle blankets serve as a backup for trips out of the house and can also be used as a nursing cover. They are also useful for containing dirty clothes or wet bathing suits after messy play dates, with wet bags keeping the diaper bag clean and dry.
Organic smoothie melts offer a healthy, easy-to-eat snack for toddlers with clean ingredients. A shopping cart cover can limit a toddler's exposure to sickness and offer extra padding and toys. Adjustable pacifier straps are useful for customizing based on toy size and car seat/high chair arm.
These travel essentials are sure to make your next family trip a success. Happy travels!
