New motherhood entails an endless list of responsibilities. You and your baby are basically conjoined at the hip, even during school holidays.
If you have older kids, then that adds another layer to the conundrum.
Your children may already have their own itinerary, including vacation spots and activities.
Regardless, you may be looking forward to some well-needed R&R as well.
But juggling motherhood and fun on the road, away from home, then becomes a bit tricky. Especially with a baby in tow.
Here are some travelling must-haves that may just make your holiday plans a stress-free occasion.
Baby on Board
A fussy crying baby may put a damper on anyone’s holiday mood.
If going on a road trip, a proper car seat may be just what the doctor ordered.
Many baby car seats now are equipped with all the perks beyond extra security.
Ergonomic design and comfort technology ensures utmost relaxation, lulling your baby into sleep until you arrive at your destination.
Here are some options that will help your baby survive the long, long trip on the road.
Equipped with a removable ergonomic positioner the Chicco KeyFit35 Infant Carrier Car Seat helps preserve your little one’s posture health.
The anti-rebound bar provides added stability and more legroom. Great for parents with bumpy cars.
There’s also the Chicco Seat3Fit I-size Air Baby Car Seat which offers six different reclining positions. This ensures utmost comfort when travelling.
A special mini-reducer ensures the best posture for newborn for optimal protection.
The 3D air-mesh cushion provides superior air ventilation, ensuring cool comfort all day.
Deals on Wheels
Part of the fun of vacationing is getting to see new and exciting sights.
That may be tough at times with your little one’s many needs and quirks.
But staying cooped up in the hotel or chalet is simply not an option.
Your baby needs to have their own set of wheels so you can take them with you on those outdoor family outings.
In the same vein as car seats, a good, comfortable stroller also ensures your baby can join in on the exploration and sight-seeing without any tantrums.
These are our latest deals and discounts on baby strollers that you simply must grab.
Suitable for newborns up to 22kg, the Chicco Goody XPlus- Auto Fold Stroller is equipped with resilient rubber wheels made to last.
Shock absorbent technology ensures smooth strolling even on bumpy surfaces.
On the other hand, the Chicco Corso Primo Cleartex Travel System is designed with comfort in mind.
With leatherette details and an ergonomic positioner, this stroller is made with organic cotton fabric. The anti-rebound bar provides added stability and plenty of legroom.
Not your preferred stroller options? Fret not, we have another suggestion!
Equipped with shock absorbers, the Chicco Mysa Stroller comes with a cushy hug to enhance comfort, deter sliding and prevent posture issues.
Keep It Flowing
Breastfeeding is a beautiful part of motherhood.
But it may not exactly be convenient at times when on the road.
If you’re expressing, don’t let the long trip far from home get you off your pumping schedule.
A convenient and efficient breast pump ensures you have plenty of surplus to keep your baby full and happy. Without any extra work on your end.
