Travel Essentials for
Babies & Toddlers
From your first flight with a newborn to a toddler who wants to walk everywhere — the gear that actually makes travelling with little ones easier.
What parents search for before a trip
- Newborns (0–6 months): Where will they nap? How do I keep feeds on schedule in an unfamiliar place? How do I carry my baby without lugging a stroller through an airport?
- Babies & young toddlers (6–24 months): How do I keep them fed and settled through time zone changes? What actually survives a flight in a nappy bag?
- Toddlers (2–4 years): How do I get them to walk (or ride) through an airport without a meltdown? What keeps them occupied on a long-haul flight or car ride?
Section 01
Sleep & Rest Anywhere
A baby who won't nap makes for a hard trip. Hotel rooms are too bright, unfamiliar and full of new noises — this is the gear that recreates a familiar sleep environment wherever you land, and gives you eyes and ears on your little one when they're settled in a different room or travel cot.
SlumberPod Traveller Favourite
Portable Privacy Pod
A blackout, breathable pod that fits over a travel cot or pack-and-play, turning any hotel room or grandparent's house into a dark, familiar sleep space in minutes. Packs down small enough to fit in checked luggage.
Beaba
Zen Connect Mini Baby Monitor
A compact, lightweight monitor built for travel — so you can put baby down in a separate hotel room or behind a SlumberPod and still see and hear them clearly from the next room over dinner.
Suavinex
Wonderland Butterfly SX Pro Soother — 2 Pack
A portable, easy-to-pack soother that's a genuine lifesaver for settling baby to sleep in a new environment — or for easing ear pressure during takeoff and landing. Pack both; one always goes missing.
Section 02
Hands-Free Carrying & Getting Around
Strollers don't always fit in taxis, airport aisles or cobblestone streets. This is the gear that keeps your hands free and your kids moving — whether that's a carrier for a newborn, a bag built to survive the whole trip, or a suitcase your toddler actually wants to sit on.
Ergobaby Traveller Favourite
Omni Deluxe Carrier
Newborn-ready with no insert needed, and adjustable through four carrying positions as they grow. Ideal for airports, uneven pavements and anywhere a stroller becomes more hassle than it's worth.
Trunki Toddler Pick
Glide Ride-on Luggage — Una the Unicorn
A ride-on suitcase toddlers can sit and glide on through the airport — turning a long walk to the gate into a game instead of a meltdown. Holds enough for a few days away.
Skip Hop
Forma Backpack Diaper Bag
A structured, sleek backpack that carries like a proper travel bag rather than a nappy bag — insulated bottle pockets, a wipeable interior and enough structure to stay upright at security or on a stroller handle.
Singapore parent tip: Most airlines will gate-check a carrier or ride-on suitcase for free alongside your stroller — check with your airline before you fly so you're not carrying it through security by hand.
Section 03
Feeding On the Go
Feeds don't pause for travel — and unfamiliar kitchens, aeroplane trays and long car rides make them trickier to manage. This gear keeps bottles, formula, snacks and pumping organised and ready, wherever you are.
Beaba Traveller Favourite
Milk Nomad — Night Blue
A battery-powered bottle warmer with no cords or power outlet needed — warms a bottle to the right temperature in a hotel room, car or even outdoors. One of the most requested items for travelling parents.
Beaba
Formula & Snacks Container — Clay
Stackable, leak-proof compartments for pre-measured formula or dry snacks — one less thing to portion out mid-journey. Easy to twist open one-handed while holding a squirming toddler.
Skip Hop
Zoo Snack Cup
A spill-resistant snack cup that clips onto a stroller, car seat or bag strap — one of the simplest ways to keep a toddler fed and calm through a long journey.
Skater
Dinosaur On-The-Go Cutlery Set
A fork, spoon and case in one compact set, so meals out never rely on borrowed restaurant cutlery. The clip-shut case keeps it clean at the bottom of a bag between meals.
Haakaa
Generation 3 Silicone Breast Pump — 160ml
No batteries, no cords, no power outlet — just suction. One of the easiest ways to express on the move, whether that's in a car, an airport lounge or a hotel bathroom.
Section 04
Keeping Them Entertained
Long flights, layovers and car rides all come down to one thing: what's going to hold their attention? Compact, screen-free activities are the easiest way to buy yourself an hour of quiet — and these are built to survive being stuffed in a bag.
Books Great for Toddlers
Spot's Magnet Dress-Up
A magnetic dress-up book with pieces that stay put even on a bumpy flight or car ride — no loose parts rolling under the seat in front of you. Genuinely absorbing for a good stretch of time.
Books
Animals (Stickerverse)
A sticker activity book that packs completely flat and needs nothing but a tray table. Reusable stickers mean it lasts the whole trip, not just one sitting.
Skip Hop
Montessori Discoverosity Soft Activity Book
A soft, crinkly fabric book with textures and hidden details on every page — light enough to clip to a carrier or car seat and safe for younger babies to mouth and explore mid-journey.
Le Toy Van
Ocean Stacker
A compact wooden stacking toy that fits easily into a carry-on and gives toddlers a simple, screen-free focus activity for the table at a restaurant or the floor of an airport gate.
Section 05
Cleaning & Hygiene
New places mean new germs — strange car seats, unfamiliar hotel surfaces and laundry you can't control. A small cleaning kit packed alongside the rest of your travel gear makes it much easier to keep things sanitary without hauling a full-size bottle of anything.
dew Travel Size
Car Seat & Stroller Cleaner — 65ml
A travel-sized spray for wiping down a rental car seat, borrowed stroller or your own gear after a day out — gentle enough for surfaces baby touches directly.
B&B
Laundry Soap 200g — Chamomile
A compact bar for hand-washing spit-up, spills or grass stains out of an outfit when there's no washing machine in sight — small enough to pack without a second thought.
B&B
Surface Wipes for Baby Products — 60s
Pre-moistened wipes for a quick wipe-down of bottles, pacifiers, high chair trays and toys wherever you're staying — no rinsing required.
Maise
Breastpump Wipes (30pcs)
Quick, water-free wipes for cleaning pump parts between sessions when there's no sink nearby — a genuine time-saver for travelling while pumping or breastfeeding.
Before you pack: Build your travel kit a few days early and do one "test run" nap or outing with it at home — a SlumberPod, carrier or new soother all work best when baby has met them before the actual trip.
