The Best Baby Travel Gear: 6 Essentials

October 27, 2018
  • Dockatot | The Best Baby Travel Gear: 6 Essentials featured by top California travel blog Haute Beauty Guide
Last week Olivia and I packed up the car and headed to Los Angeles for a little work trip and some extra Mommy and Me time.  To say I was nervous is an understatement.  This was Olivia’s first trip and I would be doing it alone.  I knew planning was the key to keep her on her schedule and happy.  And, me from getting stressed out. I started with a list of things I what I had to get done down on the trip and from there a list of everything Olivia and I would need.  As usual, I overpacked but by the end of the trip, I was able to narrow a list of 6 baby travel gear items that made the trip super easy.

Baby Travel Gear:

  • Dockatot Delux+ Dock– This was my most used item.  In the morning while I was getting ready I would pop it on a bathmat and dock Olivia where I could still watch and interact with her.  At night, she slept in it next to me on the bed.  I brought an extra cover just in case.  A good idea since Olivia decided to host a wet T-shirt contest in her dock.
  • FISHER-PRICE KICK ‘N PLAY MUSICAL BOUNCER – Best. Bouncy chair. Ever.  Olivia loves this thing.  She will sit in it, listen to her playlist and just play.  It was a great tool to have around while I was getting dress, planning my Uber route to my next event and for the babysitter to entertain her with.
  •  Silvercross Jet Travel Stroller– I knew I wouldn’t be able to maneuver my big Silvercross Wave stroller, the car seat, a baby bag, and my work bag all in the back of an Uber so I splurged and got myself the new Jet.  Our car seat easily snaps into the Jet with the car seat adaptors, there is space under the stroller where my baby bag fit and my workbag fit under the car seat.  So I could go hands-free! We even went shopping one day and I easily had space for everything.  Plus it folds up into the size of a tiny suitcase.  The Jet has some weird quirks so I’ll be doing an IGTV video on how to use it soon.
  • Baby Crinkle Paper and some fun toys.  Olivia did amazing on the drive down.  We stopped every hour to change, get out of the car for a few minutes and eat or play.  This worked amazingly well.  Some hours she slept and others she played with her toys.  The toys entertained her with the babysitter and while I was getting ready too.

  • Ergobaby Classic Sleep Bag– I can never figure out hotel air conditioning!  This sleeping bag was great for the car ride down and for sleeping at night.  The bag has an opening in the bag that the seat belt can thread through so she can safely wear it in the car.
  • Ergobaby Adapt Baby Carrier Cool Air Mesh – Oxford Blue – A few times I carried Olivia in her Ergobaby carrier.  I bring this everywhere I go.  It comes in handy so often.
  • Volkswagen Atlas– I borrowed this from my husband for the trip and it was awesome!  The captain seats fold down in the perfect height for a changing station, the back held EVERYTHING and I way over packed, plus it was so easy to drive.  Olivia loved the panoramic sunroof; it totally kept her entertained.  And. I will never buy a car again that doesn’t have Apple Car Play.  So great!

About Me

I started Haute Beauty Guide in 2008 as a way to stay in touch with my skincare clients between appointments. At first, I only covered skincare but HBG grew with me as my life evolved— from traveling around the world, heading back to college after taking a long break, buying our first home, to getting my first gray hair! Monterey is my home and I take the lifestyle here to heart.

You my sweet girl dream BIG nothing is out of reac You my sweet girl dream BIG nothing is out of reach. 

I’m not @kamalaharris biggest fan but watching her take the oath of office while hold I have my two-year-old little girl I realize just how big her future dreams can be. So many emotions were brought up today. My grandmother immigrated here 66 years ago after she was thrown out of her family for constantly dreaming too big. She told me everyday I could be anything I wanted.  Grandma was adamant that I studied what I wanted, travel where I wanted and be what I want. She made that possible for me. 

I wish she could see the first woman Vice President sworn in today.
Just living in these @jennikayne cardigans.

Glowing Greens Detoxifying Facial Cleansing Gel - Antioxidant-rich Seaweed helps to gently dissolve away skin impurities and toxins while replenishing skin’s hydration. Vegan, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free. I used this as a morning cleanse or second cleanse at night. 

Skin Renewal Serum -  A nutrient dense serum perfect for renewal of the skin.  An all in one style serum packed with hyaluronic acid, vitamin c, anti-oxidants and Moringa oil.  I used this am and pm to help with hydration levels. 
 I found my skin was plump and retained moisture all night.  Vegan, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free.

The Great Barrier Reef Cream - My favorite of the bunch.  The texture is light and creamy.  It absorbs quickly.  California Sea Kelp Actives, rich in essential nutrients and polyphenols, fortifies and hydrates skin’s barrier.  This is a gorgeous day cream.  It paired well with my SPF and foundation without any piling or caking.  Vegan, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free.
