Travel and Baby? What to bring when you can't pack a crib!

Tuesday, July 3, 2012


I remember the first summer we had our little Charlie.  As first time parents we didn't know how we'd travel up North like we do every summer because of baby and where would Charlie sleep?   We didn't really co-sleep when Charlie was around 10 months old and from experience, he preferred his own space.

Thank goodness through research and asking parents what they used, Graco Pack N Play came up numerous times.
It makes sense too, I mean they fold up easily, they don't take up too much space, it is safe for play and sleep.
And Graco is celebrating 25 years if Pack N Play! 25 years!  The first Pack N Play was designed by Nate Saint. The son of the inventor of the first baby swing.

Graco's Pack N Plays are easy to set up, comes in a lot design options.  It also a reversible napper and changer all in one, secure and safe, comes with a toy bar, and easy push button fold, lockable wheels and a carry bag.

 
With Summer travels what else do you need? Well some of Everything Mom and Baby's readers shared their tips and advice:

Valerie says: "Bring puzzles, toys and other light weight toys to keep baby busy on rainy days"

When visiting grandparents Angie shared:  " I have bought more than one of essentials to leave them at the grandparents. That way when we travel there we don't need to bring everything but the kitchen sink with us. They are all stocked with high chairs now. I was considering buying an extra playpen to leave there too!"

Toby said: "S
tory books...technology has seemed to take over, but old-fashioned books lol, should never go out of style! ;)"

I agree with all of the above.  My son's grandparents are in Winnipeg and we traveled there often so we had a Pack N Play waiting for our arrival.

So since it's summer and I bet you'll be traveling,  Graco would like to offer one lucky family
a Pack N Play to make going on the road even easier with your baby!

I had a Graco pack n play for my first baby, and I LOVED it. It was where he slept for the first 3 months, and than came on many a trip after that. I like that it is easy to put up and take down, convenient, takes up little space.
