Hi! A week ago we got back from our trip to Disney, but it already feels like months ago! While our trip is fresh in mind, wanted to share some of my best travel tips. The girls have been flying since they were babies and after an extended break (hello 2020!) were glad to be back to it! Shop the entire post here!

  • Strollers & Car Seats: When the girls were little I always brought a travel stroller and requested car seats through our rental car. Since learning rental companies are on the honor system if when they replace car seats, we started bringing our own, and it really hasn’t been too difficult. Many airlines let you check them for free so it’s also cheaper. Same with the stroller! These bags are great for storing the car seats in if you check them or leave at the gate. If you are looking for a travel stroller I highly recommend this one.
  • Kids Carry-On Suitcase: We’ve had these carry-on suitcases for the girls for a few years. Now that they need their own ticket it makes sense for a carry-on. This last trip they were able to fit all their clothes which saved space in our suitcases!
  • Headphones: All three of my kids are old enough to watch a tablet on the plane and I swear by these headphones. If you have more than one set they can plug into each other so they can watch the same tablet. They also bend on the sides which saves space and avoids them snapping into two!
  • Sound machine: Getting sleep with kids on vacation is not always easy. As regular sound machine users we always make sure to bring ours on trips! This sound machine is light weight and packs up easy!

Those are all my tried and true recs! What’s something you don’t travel without?
