Getting ready to travel with your baby for the first time? How exciting! Whether you’re chasing the sun or enjoying a staycation, preparing for a holiday can be stressful, even without a little to worry about.
To help you on your way, we’ve pulled together a list of essentials for your baby’s first holiday. From comfy clothes to sun-safe accessories, here are your packing must-haves!
Comfy shoes
Dial up the holiday photo cuteness with a pair of comfy baby shoes! Designed just for growing feet, baby shoes are perfect for helping babies explore their independence.
Our baby high-tops feature non-slip soles and easy-tie elastic laces, which allow you to pop them on and off in seconds, making changes a breeze whether you're at the airport or the beach.
Darling denim dungarees
Denim is one of the best materials for summer outfits because it’s versatile, comfortable and breathable! Denim dungarees, in particular, are a must-have for little boys and girls, as they can be paired with any T-shirt!
Our darling dungarees feature handy poppers that make changes a breeze and are embroidered with sweet designs, helping you show off your baby’s unique personality.
Terrific T-shirts
You can never have enough simple and comfy T-shirts. Seriously — make sure to pack more than you’ll need, as they’ll likely get messy!
This striped T-shirt is a wonderful gender-neutral option. It features handy poppers for quick changing and is made from super-soft, breathable cotton that feels comfortable against sensitive skin.
Handy one-pieces
The last thing you want to do on a holiday is battle to get your little one dressed for the day. So, why not put them in a cute one-piece to take the stress out of getting dressed?
Rompers are the easiest way to get your baby ready for the day, and they look so cute! This adorable romper is crafted from lightweight cotton and features a calming plaid print and poppers, which will stop changes from eating into your relaxation time.
Brilliant backpack
Being a parent means carrying an endless list of essentials with you day to day, from spare nappies to snacks. And you can add sun cream, a first-aid kit and a cover-up to that list when travelling during summer.
But don’t worry, you can keep everything in one place with a brilliant baby backpack!
Sun-safe bucket hat
Everyone loves to have fun in the sun, but babies have super sensitive skin. That means taking extra steps to shield them from the sun's rays, even after you’ve covered them in sun cream.
We suggest popping a comfy bucket hat on that little head to protect their scalp while providing cool comfort. This 100% cotton denim hat is breathable yet protective, with a wide rim to keep the sun off their face.
Snazzy sunglasses
Speaking of sun safety, make sure to protect your baby’s sensitive eyes, too!
Babiators are the must-have sunglasses for growing babies. These adorable sunnies have 100% UVA and UVB protection to keep sensitive eyes safe from the sun. They feature rubber frames and shatterproof lenses, so they won’t break even if they’re dropped.
Personalised passport cover
If you’re jetting off overseas, make the adventure all the more exciting with an adorable personalised passport holder!
This safari-themed travel set comes with a matching passport holder and luggage tag, which can be personalised with a wild child’s name to commemorate their first trip away.
3 packing tips for stepping into summer with confidence!
Finally, get prepped to enjoy a stress-free trip with our three top packing tips:
Put comfort first. When picking outfits for your trip, always put comfort first! Our selection of baby clothes prioritises using breathable, comfortable materials like cotton, which are also super cute, so you get the best of both worlds!
Pack familiar items. Travelling can be quite stressful for little ones as they’re leaving the environment they know. Help smooth the transition by packing toys they’re familiar with.
Personalise your tot’s belongings. Personalising your baby’s items not only makes them special but also ensures they won’t get mixed up with others if you’re travelling with other tiny tots. Add a personal touch to your tot’s travel accessories with our personalisation service!
We hope you enjoy your holiday!
