Great article. We have adopted once domestically and are awaiting our second child any day now. This article describes the packing list to a T and is a good reminder as we pack for baby #2!

Excellent article! Great tip about getting quarters! Also, I never thought of the airlines counting the diaper bag as a carry-on. Thanks for the reminder!

What a terrific list of things to know.

I especially like the first one. It takes the stress out of packing “perfectly” if you remember that you can get most any forgotten items at the destination.

Well done, Debbie!

Great article! An extra suitcase is a MUST!!!! So true! Zip lock bags for travel are the BEST!!!

Now, one thing that I don’t understand is why they do nto keep extra diapers on the airplane. I learnt this the hard way on one flight with my son. We had to change aiplanes and in the process, I lost his diapers! On the second plane, we improvised a “diaper” made of female hygienic pads. It was totally hilarious. The crew and I had a great laugh.

I would also add about car seats: If you bring it from your home state, you do not have to take the socket with you for travel! It is heavy and a baby car seat can be safely anchored in the car without its socket as well.

I also bought a universal infant car seat carrier stroller which came in especially handy for travel/flying. I got the Baby Trend Snap’Go car seat stroller, bought it online for about $60. Very light, practical and handy. Saves you the shlep of a a heavy stroller – I call these strollers the “tanks”, LOL.
