IT’S FIIIIIIINALLY TIME FOR OUR FIRST LITTLE TRIP ABROAD WITH ARLA.
WE’VE BEEN SO EXCITED!
I SPENT A LOT OF TIME GOOGLING “TRAVELLING WITH A BABY” TO TRY & FIGURE OUT WHAT WE SHOULD/SHOULDN’T BE TRAVELLING WITH. (WHAT DID WE DO BEFORE GOOGLE EH!?)
I THOUGHT I’D POP TOGETHER A QUICK GUIDE INCLUDING EVERYTHING WE’VE FOUND USEFUL & SOME MUST HAVE ITEMS TO TRAVEL WITH.
THE BUGABOO ANT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING & TOTALLY PERFECT FOR TRAVELLING!
IT’S SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT & EASY TO FOLD DOWN MAKING IT REALLY EASY TO CARRY – IT’S THE PERFECT CABIN SIZE. WE TOOK IT ON THE PLANE WITH US AS HAND LUGGAGE. IT WENT IN THE OVER HEAD LOCKER WITH NO PROBLEMS.
IT’S SUPER SLIM WHICH IS GREAT FOR EXPLORING LITTLE SIDE STREETS & POPPING INTO LITTLE CAFES, OFTEN WE WOULD JUST USE THE PUSHCHAIR AS A HIGHCHAIR FOR HER AS IT PULLS UPTO TABLES NICELY & DOESN’T TAKE UP TOO MUCH ROOM.
SHE HAPPILY NAPPED & PLAYED IN IT, GIVING US TIME TO ENJOY SOME QUIET TIME TOGETHER AND A CHANCE TO GRAB SOME TAPAS!
IT WAS A REAL MUST HAVE FOR OUR TRIP, WE WOULD HAVE REALLY STRUGGLED TO ENJOY OURSELVES WITHOUT IT.
ME & QUINN RACED TO FOLD THE BUGABOO, IT WAS SO FUN! YOU CAN SEE THE RACE OVER ON MYINSTAGRAM HIGHLIGHT.
HOW NIFTY IS THIS!? IT’S A TOY STORAGE BAG THAT OPENS UP TO BECOME A PLAY MAT!
LIFE IS SO FAST PACED NOWADAYS, WITH THE PLAY POUCH YOU CAN OPEN THE BAG, PLAY WITH THE TOYS ON THE MAT & THEN SCOOP THEM ALL BACK UP AGAIN…ISN’T THAT CLEVER!
THIS IS SERIOUSLY THE ULTIMATE CHANGING BACKPACK OF CHANGING BACKPACKS, IT’S GENIUS! IT HAS THE MOST ORGANISED POCKETS, INCLUDING AN INSULATED BAG FOR FOOD OR BOTTLES AND A DETACHABLE CHANGING MAT – SNAZZY!
IT ALSO ATTACHES TO THE MATCHING CABIN TRAVEL BAG WE HAVE…IT JUST MAKES LIFE SO EASY.
THIS IS ANOTHER DREAM BAG FOR A TRAVELLER. IT INCLUDES A HANGING ORGANISER INSIDE WHICH I’M ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED WITH! THE ORGANISER ALLOWS YOU TO PACK, HANG UP, AND USE WITHOUT UNPACKING – THE BEST!
THIS IS PERFECT FOR ON-THE-GO BREASTFEEDING MUMS. IT’S TOTALLY IDEALLY FOR TRAVELLING, ESPECIALLY ON A PLANE! IT’S REALLY SOFT & COMFORTABLE MAKING FEEDING IN A PUBLIC PLACE A BREEZE.
EVERY MUM HAS A BAG FULL OF MUSLINS, RIGHT? OR IS THAT JUST ME!? I DON’T LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT AT LEAST 4 (I DON’T KNOW WHY I DO THAT, I JUST LIKE TO HAVE A SPARE. JUST IN CASE ARLA IS SICK 4 TIMES IN A ROW….HEY, YOU NEVER KNOW!)
QUINN LIKES TO BE ABLE TO FEED ARLA TO HAVE EXTRA BONDING TIME, I EXPRESS MILK AS OFTEN AS I CAN FOR QUINN TO BE ABLE TO FEED HER. HOLIDAY IS THE PERFECT CHANCE FOR QUINN TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH ARLA, SO I’VE PACKED MYPUMPDAND ARLAS FAVOURITE BOTTLES FOR THE TRIP!
WE ALSO PACKED HER FAVOURITE SOOTHERS. THEY’VE REALLY HELPED SETTLE HER TO SLEEP WHILST SHE’S IN AN UNFAMILIAR PLACE.
I THINK IT’S ONLY NATURAL TO WORRY ABOUT TAKING A BABY ON THEIR FIRST FLIGHT, I JUST WANTED ARLA TO BE AS COMFORTABLE & AS HAPPY AS CAN BE!
THE SKYBABY TRAVEL MATTRESS MASSIVELY HELPED, IT GAVE ARLA HER OWN SPACE WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED. SHE SLEPT THROUGH TAKE OFF & THEN PLAYED NICELY THE ENTIRE WAY, I WAS SO RELIEVED!
