WHAT TO BRING ON TRIPS WITH BABIES
A big trip doesn’t have to be a big problem, just a big list of things to remember…
WHAT TO BRING ON A TRIP WITH A BABY?
If you are going to travel with your baby, it is important to take some toys with you (preferably light ones to distract them in the car) and/or accessories, so that they feel comfortable and safe as if they were at home. If you are going to do a lot of walks, you should consider the baby's tiredness, meal times and nap times. Nothing that over time you won't discover and adapt.
We're here to help at all times, so we've prepared a checklist of travel essentials. After that, try to enjoy it as it will create an album of wonderful memories.
marsupium
For outings where you cannot take the stroller, a baby carrier helps to carry the baby with less physical effort. Make sure you choose an ergonomic and comfortable carrier for both of you and that it guarantees the correct distribution of your baby's weight between the shoulders, hips and spine, which must always be supported.In turn, the legs should not hang down and the baby should be in a sitting position.
The baby's face should always be clearly visible, with his chin up and his mouth and nose uncovered, to ensure he breathes well. To avoid overheating, especially in summer, dress your baby in weather-appropriate clothing.
Travel pillow
In the shape of a horseshoe, it provides greater comfort to the baby during the journey, as it prevents the head from falling over the chest, when used with the opening at the back.You should choose a pillow suitable for the baby's age and size.

Travel Bath
Light and easy to carry, it is very useful for bathing outside when your baby is still small.For greater safety, never leave the baby alone in the water and empty the bath immediately after use.
Travel bed
Easy to transport, it is an essential item for the baby to sleep with all the necessary comfort outside the house, also serving as a playground for playtime. Check the ease of activating the mounting and locking system, if it is out of reach of the baby and make sure that it does not close with the child inside.

pacifiers
If pacifiers are often lost at home, the same can happen when traveling. It is best to prevent yourself with an extra pacifier or two.
Our suggestions for Traveling with Babies
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHILE TRAVELING ON THE ROAD:
When traveling, all care is necessary. On long journeys, schedule breaks every 2 hours for babies and children to rest: remove them from the car so they can change positions, eat and even play or run a little. Never stop on the side of the highway, only in service areas. On other roads, choose safe locations away from traffic.
Even during pregnancy, ensure your baby's safety by always using the seat belt without slack, never twisted, well positioned over the root of the thighs, passing through the inter-mammary space and resting on the shoulder. Reclining the front passenger seat contributes to a better positioning of the belt, increasing comfort and safety. Pregnant women should avoid driving cars with airbags in the last trimester of pregnancy.
