1. A versatile stacking formula container that can double as a snack container after infancy. These are great for planes because they fit easily into a diaper bag and you can measure out the formula into each individual container. It also comes with a variety of lids for whatever you need it for — from a formula pourer to a spill-resistant snack lid.
2. A bug bite suction tool that's a quick, easy, and compact way to keep the itch from bug bites manageable, if not remove it completely if used quickly.
3. A travel bottle warming system that's perfect for heating up bottles on the go. This system comes with an insulated flask for storing hot water and a plastic container to warm the bottle securely. It's also leakproof so you can travel confidently. This is perfect for both road trips and air travel — making the ordeal significantly less difficult.
4. And a compact bottle cleaning system that packs away easily and has everything to keep bottles and pump parts clean throughout your trip.
5. A lightweight umbrella stroller that won't take up much trunk space and is also easy to gate check. This stroller is relatively inexpensive, so you won't be staring in horror through the airplane window as it's tossed onto the luggage ramp with reckless abandon.
6. And a stroller organizer that will help you make the most out of your storage when sightseeing with hungry kids. This attaches right to the back of the stroller so that the stronger storage underneath can hold water bottles or that bubble wand that your kid HAD to have 20 minutes ago and has since forgotten about. It even includes cup holders and an extra bag that attaches to the side of the stroller!
7. AND a small stroller fan because summer travel gets hot and uncomfortable. This battery-powered clip-on fan can easily unclip for all of the walkers to use while keeping your baby cool as you stroll. It has soft blades for safety and can make the humidity just a bit more bearable.
8. A bottle of gentle, hypoallergenic after sun spray for taking care of skin after long days in the sun. As the mom of a kit with sensitive skin, I love that it's paraben-, phthalate-, and dye-free, plus it's tested by dermatologists. Reviewers say that it doesn't leave a sticky residue like many aloe products, which is a major bonus.
9. A travel cot for when you're short on beds or just don't feel like getting kicked in the chest all night by a tiny acrobat sharing your space. These are great for hotel stays and camping because they fold up easily and can be stored away, but are also up off of the ground.
10. A leak-proof lunchbox to keep snacks secured and ready to go. The compartments make it super easy to pack a variety of snacks in case the applesauce they loved yesterday is a no-go today.
11. A car seat travel bag that makes getting the car seat to check-in significantly easier and keeps all of the parts together once it's checked. This is also awesome if you plan on keeping your child in a car seat during the flight, but have no idea how to handle wandering around the airport during a layover.
12. A set of high-quality wireless headphones that can hold a charge for eight hours — leaving you with a little bit of peace on a long journey. These are compatible with both Apple and Android products, and even connect to the "Find My" feature on Apple products for when you're in the airport and your kid JUST HAD THEM.
13. A small, portable trash can to save you the embarrassment of snack wrappers blowing out of the car when you open the door as you go chasing down the parking lot trying to save Mother Earth at the expense of your dignity. I choose not to comment on the specificity of this scenario.
14. A set of Melissa & Doug "Secret Decoder" activity books that will keep any inquisitive kid busy on a plane or in the car. This set of three books allows kids to crack codes and reveal secret messages and clues. Since all of the books are the perfect size for a backpack, there are lots of opportunities for your kid to feel like a spy.
15. A back-of-the-seat organizer to keep everything handy for a long road trip. This organizer fits a tablet, water bottle, snacks, and toys for easy access in between yet another "Are we there yet nnnnooooowwww??"
16. A compact highchair and booster seat that can pack easily and give you a safe place to feed your baby wherever you are. This seat can be used on the floor or on a chair and comes with a carrying case. No more balancing baby on your lap when you visit a place not equipped for babies and toddlers.
17. A super compact potty for road trips where "rest stop" cannot come up fast enough on your maps app. This chair is a great option because it stores easily in a bag AND can be used on full-sized potties for young kids who have to hold onto the toilet seat for dear life.
18. An inflatable infant bathtub that can pack easily in your suitcase, but also give you an easy and clean space to bathe a baby. No need for an infant bath? It's also perfect for splashing around at the beach!
19. A handheld luggage scale that will save you the hassle of frantically rearranging baggage at the check-in counter because one bag was over the limit. It's also great since it packs easily, meaning you don't have to worry about how much extra weight the four stuffed animals, three bubble wands, and the wooden sword added to one suitcase.
20. An inexpensive, spillproof water bottle that's great for travel and stores easily but won't be as stressful if it gets lost on the way. This brand is often on shelves in-store, so if you need to grab a new one, it's easy to find.
