Ideas for Baby Travel Gear for Family Holiday
Our baby travel gear when on a family holiday article described what to look for when choosing and buying travel gear for your baby or toddler.
If you don't have the time or inclination to look for products that fit the bill, we've done the searching for you. Here are a set of baby travel gear products that other families have found useful, and which should help make family holidays with babies and toddlers stress free.
We've based our selection on objective criteria and genuine feedback - here's how we chose them:
- 1. We looked at the leading brands and baby travel gear products in the relevant categories.
- 2. We studied a large number of products and brands for the features relevant to travel, then looked at reviews on multiple online sites that sell them. We didn't look at reviews on single-brand stores.
- 3. Based on the reviews, we shortlisted a handful of product options. These are ones that have got a consistently high rating by people who bought them (4-5 stars minimum).
- 4. We then found the links to our shortlist on Amazon - we believe there's no beating them on e-commerce, but you can of course find the same product on the store of your choice.

Baby Strollers/Push Chairs/Buggies
Frequent family travelers with babies or toddlers have found from experience that it makes sense to have a separate stroller/push chair/buggy for trips. This is because any checked in luggage tends to get knocks and bashes. The other is that having a lighter version can be handy too.
Have a think of whether you'll have lots of stairs to go up and down or will be hopping on and off buses. If these will apply to your holiday, then weight, portability, folding with one hand and fitting into small spaces will be important factors.
The strollers/push chairs/buggies featured here fall into two categories, the foldable versions and those that also have a car seat.
