Amazon Travel Essentials - Toddler Edition

Essential # 1

Spill Proof Water Bottle

If you're clumsy like me, you probably drop your or your child's water bottle 10 times a day. This is exactly why a spillproof water bottle was much needed, especially for travelling! This bottle is perfect for toddlers, and I like the fact that it is insulated so it keeps the water at a cool temperature. This is especially handy for hot beach vacations

Essential # 2

Wipes, wipes and more wipes

Every mom knows that things with toddlers can get quite.. messy, in many different ways! That's why I love this pack of wipes that has wipes for 3 different situations. Whether it's dirty hands and face, or dropped pacifier or toys on the floor, or a runny nose - this set will have you covered.

ESSENTIAL # 3

Wet Clothes Bag

This wet clothes bag was really helpful not just for storing wet clothes after a dip in the beach or pool, but also really handy for storing my toddlers dirty laundry on the way back home. If there's no clothes in this bag, it is really compact and can be buttoned to a really small size which is great for saving space.

ESSENTIAL # 4

Inflatable Footrest

This one is a must have for sure, it helped my toddler sleep nicely on the airplane. On our flight to Mexico he slept for most of the flight and when he was awake this was useful too for him to play with his toys. The best part is that it's so compact when it's deflated, we were able to just throw it in our diaper bag.

ESSENTIAL # 5

Not only does it keep snacks neatly organized, but it also adds an element of excitement to snack time.

ESSENTIAL # 7

Freezable Snack Bag

This freezable snack bag was perfect for our trip, as it kept our fruits, yogurt and cheese string still cool. You just throw the bag in the freezer as it has a built in icepack. Afterwards, when you put in your fridge friendly snacks the food items stay cool for a good amount of time. This is handy for long flights and trips.

ESSENTIAL # 8

Matching memory snack box

This snack box kept our little one busy for a good amount of time because he was excited to open each flap and see what surprise is awaiting him. I filled it with his favorite snacks, and it acts as a game as well as you can match the snacks to one another. It is exciting and yummy at the same time!

ESSENTIAL # 9

Travel Dish Soap

This little travel dish soap was such a lifesaver for me especially when we were in Morocco and always on the run, it was hard to find food my infant (at that time) liked to eat. But luckily we found milk everywhere so we kept having to refill the bottle but thanks to this little dish soap bottle it was easy to clean it nicely before a refill. Designed specifically for travel, this baby dish soap is small enough to tuck into your diaper bag or suitcase without taking up precious space. Say goodbye to worrying about how to clean your little one's dishes while traveling—this travel-sized gem has got you covered.

ESSENTIAL # 10

Travel Bottle Brush and Dry Rack

Along with the travel dish soap mentioned previously, this travel brush and dry rack goes perfectly hand in hand. It's the ultimate convenience in keeping your toddlers bottles and snack containers clean and dry when on the go. This portable size also fits easily into my diaper bag and has truly been a game changer.

ESSENTIAL # 11

Fidget Poppers

These fidget poppers were surprisingly a good source of entertainment. It kept my toddler pretty busy on the flight, and even when we were in our hotel room he was playing with these a lot as well. They're just a small nice add on if you're putting together a play kit or activity bag for your child. Compact, colorful, and portable, these toys are perfect for keeping your child engaged and focused both at home and on the go.

ESSENTIAL # 12

Travel Baby Toiletries

Rather than filling up toiletry bottles, this travel toiletry set for babies and toddlers is very convenient because everything you need is already in there: body wash, shampoo, lotion, petroleum jelly. Also it comes in an approved airplane bag so it's easily visible when you are checking through security, and you can take these in your carry on bag! The best part is, if you finish this on your trip you can just toss it out and this will create more space in your luggage.

ESSENTIAL # 13

Toddler Headphones

We try our very best to limit screen time at home, however when we are travelling we have no rules in terms of screen time, for the sake of our sanity (and other people's on the airplane lol). These headphones easily connected to our iPad and our toddler was able to keep busy with watching his favorite shows that we downloaded offline on YouTube.

ESSENTIAL # 14

Reusable Sticker Book

So deciding which toy to take on a flight is very difficult because it's hard to tell which one will actually keep your child engaged on the plane, and having enough space is a factor too. Traveling with a toddler can be a demanding task, especially when it comes to keeping them entertained during long flights. One clever solution to this dilemma is a reusable sticker book. This innovative product not only provides endless entertainment for your little one but also offers a mess-free and engaging activity that keeps them busy for hours on end.

ESSENTIAL # 15

Travel Stroller

I always see everyone using the Babyzen yoyo as a travel stroller, however my budget for a travel stroller is not that high because we already have the UppaBaby Vista so I didn't want to purchase another expensive stroller. So I got this Summer 3Dlite stroller for $180CAD (Prices may update and vary on Amazon). I like this one because it's affordable, and quite compact. It does not fit in the overhead bin, but I always just check it in at the gate. I like it because my child can sleep in peace. It also reclines quite far back. In Mexico, we would chill outside at night and attend the shows and he slept easily in the stroller through out all of our activities.

ESSENTIAL # 16

Buckle Toy

Another good source of entertainment for my toddler was this buckle toy. This engaging activity toy is easy to take wherever you travel. This stuffed figure can be clipped to a stroller, high chair, & a car seat to keep kids busy. It's a good problem solving activity which helped keep him engaged for a good amount of time.

ESSENTIAL # 17

Busy Book

Travelling with a toddler can be an adventure in itself, especially on long flights. But fear not, fellow parents! Let me introduce you to the ultimate lifesaver: the Busy Book. This compact wonder is packed with interactive activities designed to captivate and engage your little one's curious mind. From colorful activities to touch-and-feel textures, each page offers a new adventure waiting to unfold. There's many different things in one book which keeps your toddler busy.

ESSENTIAL # 18

GoGo Squeez

This snack is my favorite snack to take with me anywhere I go with my toddler, whether it's just for a day trip or long travels, I always pack a few of these in my suitcase. These are handy because it doesn't need to be refrigerated so don't need to worry about that, also it's pretty good in terms of spill proof. These are the perfect snacks for the airplane taking off and landing because sucking on these always helps my toddler with the ear pressure.

ESSENTIAL # 19

Stokke JetKids

I wish I got this in the beginning of our travelling with kids journey! I ended up getting it a few trips later because at first I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend so much on it. But let me tell you, it is so worth it. My favorite feature is the fact that it comes with a mattress and turns into a bed in the airplane. Also you can surprisingly fit a good amount of stuff inside, and can also pull your child across the airport while they sit on it. It also fits in the overhead bin and perfectly under the seat as well.
