Amazon Prime Day Finds For the First Time Traveler

At Beckon Homes, we understand the importance of supporting new parents and promoting a healthy work-life balance. We know that parental leave and taking time for your family are crucial for the well-being of both parents and their children. 

As Chief of Staff, I've cherished my time on maternity leave and really feel that the gift of focused time with my family made all the difference in our life. That said, my little one is almost five months old and we just started feeling ready to travel, which felt like an overwhelming hurdle, but has proven to be the most fun, yet still challenging, adventure yet!

With almost a half dozen trips on the books for this summer, we're in our jet set era and I wanted to share some of our favorite items that have made traveling with as a family more of an adventure than a nightmare! 
​

A Transformer Stroller
If you gain nothing else from this list, please at least think about getting a travel stroller. We recently bought the Joolz Aer+ and couldn't be more pleased with or smug about this purchase.  It rides like our bigger, everyday stroller but folds up small enough to fit in the overhead so you don't have to wait to pick it up at gate check. 

​Plane Toys
Having new and engaging toys that you don't show your baby until they get onboard can make all the difference. We love these lightweight spinning toys!

​Packing Cubes
Packing cubes help me keep all the baby's items separate from mine and clearly organized so I make sure we don't forget anything.

​Cleaning Kit
This compact cleaning kit with the built in drying rack for bottles was a complete game changer for us! 

An Excellent Baby Carrier
Our first flight had 10 babies under the age of 1 and our baby succumbed to empathy crying and the only thing that would calm him down was the carrier. I recently caved and bought the Artipoppe carrier, but we loved the Ergobaby Embrace when he was tiny and Amazon has a Prime deal on one that is extremely similar! Babywearing truly makes everything easier! 

Traveling with a baby doesn't have to be daunting. From what I've learned so far, just like any stage of pregnancy or parenthood, you just have to take it one challenge at a time and keep adapting everyday. Enjoy making unforgettable memories with your little adventurer!

Most importantly, what's on your list? What incredible tool or hack am I missing? I'm dying to know! 

Happy and Safe Travels!
