Best Baby Travel Gear

Traveling with Baby?  Don’t leave home without these Baby Travel Gear Essentials!  I’ve taken my babies on the long flights so many times and these must-have items will make traveling with Baby so much easier!

Baby Travel Gear

Suitcases

Now that you’ve read through all of these incredible Vancouver BC Travel Tips… are you ready to get packing for beautiful British Columbia?  Make sure you’ve got some good sturdy luggage with wheels to take along!  Fun and unique prints on luggage are always great, because it always seems like every suitcase at the airport or hotel is black, right?  Someone will be a lot less likely to walk off with your luggage when it’s got a unique color or print!

Large Travel Purse

Every great trip starts with a large purse, right?  I have one large purse I save just for trips, and it’s perfect for storing my Kindle, Maps, Snacks, and even my Camera!  I never leave on a trip without it, and am always grateful for that extra space!

Travel Pillow

Make sleeping on those long flights a whole lot easier when you pack a comfy travel pillow!

–> Superfeet Insoles for extra support and comfort.  I remove all of my insoles and replace with superfeet.

  • Superfeet Insoles

–> Hiking Backpack for food and extra layers when you go on all the beautiful hikes available.

Don’t board your plane without these 11 Carry On Must Haves!  They’re a lifesaver on long flights!
