3 must-buy travel items for new parents

Family

1. Strap ‘em in!

Whether it's a day outing or a long family holiday, ample preparation always pays off. Besides doing ample research on the transportation, hotels, destinations, and packing list, getting the right travel gear is also a priority. But fear not, new moms and dads, these useful travel accessories will help you and your child relax a little more, ensuring better quality time for the whole family.

3. All packed & ready to go

As every parent knows, finding THE bag is key. The right baby bag will have plenty of well-placed compartments where you can store everything from daily essentials to toys. What you need for travel may be a little different than what you pack day-to-day, so make sure to create a checklist in advance with everything you'll need. Between a great bag and a pre-booked bassinet (a service some airlines offer), you should be good to go.

PRO TIP: Place a simple check list by the main door, and always do a final check before you head out to make sure you have everything you need!
