7 Travel Must-Haves for Babies and Toddlers
This post is in partnership with Best Buy Canada, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Traveling with an “almost” 18 month-old is no easy task. It takes careful planning and the right equipment. In fact, I would say the key to successfully flying with a toddler comes down to three things: getting to the airport early, planning ahead, and bringing the right gear (and lots of snacks). Below are 7 essentials that make the art of traveling a little easier and your vacation more enjoyable once you arrive. From the right set of luggage, a baby ride-on suitcase, a go-everywhere stroller, and a portable high chair that can fit in your back pocket!
When planning our trip to England we wanted to make sure to travel as light as possible. Choosing the best gear from brands we trust at the right price is exactly what I was looking for. I’m also a huge fan of shopping online from the comfort of home and free delivery directly to my door.
Best Buy is having a huge online baby event from September 7th – 20th, where almost everything is on sale! Carrying almost everything, they also offer FREE delivery for orders over $35! Check them out here!

Great post, that dining set is so adorable!!
Thanks! Yes I love the little sheep!
This is such a great list! I love the ride on suitcase that transforms into a buggy, and the harness that turns any chair into a high chair. My son is 2 and I know he’d get a lot of use out of these when we travel.
Thanks! Yes we love these items! Is so handy to have while traveling!
Oh these look so handy, especially the baby carrier for the carry on so that you can check the stroller. Also obsessed with that rose gold luggage.
Wow, that bag rider and portable high chair are genius ideas! Those would be a must have for me to travel with kids!
Yes such smart ideas! Great for travel!
They have so many gears and gadgets available now, back to when my son was smaller these gadgets were not available and travel was a bit more difficult.
