All these products have been carefully reviewed by me. I only recommend products that I would use myself and recommend to my friends. Editorial reviews are separate and distinct from advertising on DeliciousBaby.com, and we never accept "advertorial" or pay-for-positive reviews. I do earn a small commission if you purchase a product on Amazon after clicking through from my site, and those sales help pay for the time it takes me to conduct and write thorough reviews.

BabyBjorn Travel Crib

The BabyBjorn Travel Bed for babies and toddlers is lightweight, easy to set up, and a bit larger than a Pack and Play (meaning that you will get longer use). It would be a good fit for a family that needs an extra baby cot at home and also wants something lightweight enough to travel with.

Check ahead though, most hotels will provide a crib at no fee, and baby rental gear companies will deliver a crib in most large cities. You might not need to go to the added difficulty and expense of bringing a portable crib with you when you travel.

Carabiner Clips

Hang a few carabiner clips off of the outside of your carry-on bag. They always seem to come in handy for attaching last minute items.

Diaper Disposal Sacks

Whether you are out and about or in your hotel room, you'll want to have a few plastic bags so that you can individually wrap and throw away dirty diapers (there's no diaper genie in the hotel room!). I find these rolled sacks easiest and most space efficient to carry.

Little Noses Saline Drops

A stuffy nose can make it difficult for baby to nurse and make the effects of air pressure on a baby's ears worse. A few drops of saline solution or breastmilk in her nose often helps our kids. (I have also read claims that saline can help reduce the risk of getting sick on a flight, but I'm not a medical professional). We've used this pre-made saline solution, or you can bring along your own small plastic feeding syringe and saline. Be gentle, even three or four drops can work wonders.
