Why do I need this? A compact travel brush and drying rack that fits easily in your bag makes it easy to clean bottles and pump parts when traveling. You can keep using it for tablewear, utensils, and cups as your child gets older too.
How do I use it? Hand wash before initial use and periodically thereafter with warm, soapy water. Use the brush to clean your items before placing them on the drying part to air dry. Dump out any excess water and air dry the drying rack case before closing and repacking it.
Which brand? Boon makes a travel drying rack that is widely popular. Parents love how it is compact yet still fits a lot of items, and its dual-ended brushes work great for cleaning different sized bottles, nipples, valves, and pump parts. The design is also attractive, with "grass blades" that hold items upright in a space-efficient manner.
Why do I need this? Most parents use special baby shampoos, lotions, and detergents because babies' skin is more sensitive, so having a set of small refillable bottles contained neatly in a travel pouch makes it easy and economical to travel with whatever liquids you need. Additionally, a collapsible cup makes it easy to wash your child's hair when giving them a bath while traveling, and also doubles as a bath toy.
How do I use it? Fill each bottle with whatever liquid you need, such as baby shampoo/wash, baby lotion, laundry detergent if you're going to wash clothes, or even dish detergent for washing bottles and pump parts.
Which brand? There's no real stand out brand that makes a nice travel bath set, so we designed one that is cute and functional! We included three silicone refillable bottles, which are shaped like dolphins in different colors so they're fun for your baby or toddler; a collapsible silicone cup that takes up almost no space at all in your bag; and a see-through travel case to neatly contain your bath items.
Why do I need this? A stroller mobile keeps your baby occupied while out-and-about by giving them something to look at (when they're younger) and play with (when they're older). It's helpful if the toy attaches to the stroller itself so that it doesn't constantly fall on the ground.
How do I use it? Simply secure to your child's stroller sear, car seat, or bassinet canopy and go! Warning: This small stroller mobile contains small parts that could present a choking hazard if broken apart; do not leave your child unattended and always supervise while using.
Which brand? We have designed this in-house! It can be hard to find something that's small and lightweight, interesting to your baby, and looks pretty on your stroller, so we created one ourselves.
Why do I need this? When you have to change a poopy diaper when you're out and about, it's nice to put it in a plastic bag to contain the smell and mess until you can find a trashcan, and for the benefit of everyone that will be walking near the trashcan you use. If you're at somebody else's house, do them a solid and keep the dirty diaper in a plastic bag in your diaper bag and throw it out when you get home to avoid stinking up their house. These bags also have lots of other uses, such as for catching car sickness or separating wet or dirty clothes from other items in your bag.
How do I use it? Pull one bag at a time along the perforation and refill when you run out.
Which brand? Ubbi is a popular brand for baby travel products because their products are durable, functional, and discrete. Parents give their plastic bag dispenser very high reviews because its compact size and silicone strap make it perfect for hanging off a stroller or diaper bag; it is retractable, which lets you easily reinsert bags if you accidentally pull too many out; and the bags themselves do a great job masking the dirty diaper scent.
Why do I need this? Baby wipes are essential for changing dirty diapers, but bringing a large pack of wipes can be heavy and space-consuming in your diaper bag. A wipes dispenser is great for keeping wipes wet, organized, and compact in your bag when you're on-the-go.
How do I use it? Fill with your favorite brand of wipes and keep the lid closed so they stay fresh and wet.
Which brand? Ubbi is a popular brand for baby travel products because their products are durable, functional, and discrete. Traveling parents like Ubbi's wipes dispenser because it is compact while doing its job to keep wipes moist; it's easy to hang off a stroller or diaper bag because of its silicone strap; and it fits many different types of wipes.
Why do I need this? For older babies and toddlers that eat snacks on-the-go, it's convenient to use a snack cup with a soft flap opening that lets small hands through while preventing snack from spilling out. Some silicone snack cups can even be used to heat small meals or purees, or steam and serve veggies; such versatility is helpful so you can pack fewer things!
How do I use it? Fill with whatever snacks your child prefers. Most snack containers are top rack dishwasher safe. See packaging for more detailed instructions.
Which brand? This bundle includes the best-selling Essential Snack Cup from morepeas, a fun company founded by two moms that meticulously designed every single aspect of this cup to make it as functional for real moms as possible. This do-it-all snack cup has a cult following by parents who rave about the quality (food-grade silicone that's soft yet sturdy, not hard plastic) and the versatility (it also serves as a suction dining bowl, veggie steamer, and storage container). The colors are also beautiful and fun!
Why do I need this? Sound machines emit different types of white noise (such as a continuous humming sound), which helps many babies fall asleep and stay asleep. This is because white noise resembles what your baby hears in the womb, which is comforting, and drowns out loud and intermittent background noises that could wake your baby.
How do I use it? Make sure it's charged before leaving your house. Turn it on before naptime or bedtime. Adjust the volume so it's loud enough to block disruptive background noises but not too loud, so you protect your baby's hearing (the AAP suggests keeping them below 50 decibels, about as loud as a quiet dishwasher or shower running).
Which brand? Parents like Fridababy's 2-in-1 portable sound machine & nightlight because it works reliably, has good sound options (five noises including shushing and heartbeat), and is easy to hang on the car seat, stroller, or crib. Unlike other portable sound machines, it also has an optional nightlight feature that glows softly, which many parents like for nighttime feeds.
