Toddler Trip Checklist

We were able to take a trip to Charleston, SC. This was the first trip we took with Q. I tried to remember everything we would need. At the very least I wanted to pack the important items because anything else could be bought.

One thing I would highly suggest is getting a high chair that connects to the table.  I got a great deal at a yard sale for one and we used it the entire time. It's great to use in restaurants as well as the house we stayed at. We clipped it over the placemat so she couldn't try to take that off either! It was perfect. I think she likes it just as much as we do because she is right at the table with us.



Items that I made sure I packed on our trip were:
  • Diapers/Wipes/Diaper Cream/Changing Pad
  • Clothes - plenty of extra
  • Sleep sack or blankets
  • Bathing Suit
  • Water Diaper or Diaper Cover
  • Water Shoes
  • Suntan Lotion
  • Shampoo/Soap/Washcloths/Toothpaste/Toothbrush
  • Medicines/Thermometer
  • Milk/Food/Snacks - I give Q mostly organic foods and lots of fresh veggies and fruit so we packed most of her food for the trip
  • Sippy Cups/Spoons/Containers/Bibs/Bottle Brush
  • Child proof items for doors, cabinets, etc.
  • Beach towels
  • Pack N Play
  • Radio/Music for bedroom
  • Night light
  • Favorite blanket or stuffed animal
  • Toys
  • Stroller
  • High Chair
  • Car Entertainment - I generally do not let Q watch alot of TV, but I did download an episode of Sesame Street on my iPad so she could watch it near the end of the trip when she was sick of sitting in her seat.
