Baby Travel FAQs
What are must-haves for traveling with an infant?
Key travel essentials include diapers, wipes, a change of clothes, snacks, a soft blanket, and a multi-use cover. Boppy’s travel accessories like shopping cart covers, travel nursing pillows, and nursing covers make outings more comfortable and convenient for both baby and parents. For a full list of tips, check out our blog on how to travel with an infant.
What are tips for how to fly with a newborn?
Feed during takeoff and landing to ease ear pressure, bring extra clothes and diapers, and use a soft baby carrier for hands-free travel through the airport. A lightweight nursing or multi-use cover can also provide privacy and comfort during the flight.
When can an infant fly?
Some airlines allow babies to fly as early as 2 days old, but it's always best to check with your pediatrician before booking. For newborns and infants under 3 months, extra precautions may be needed to protect their developing immune systems.
Can you gate check a car seat?
Yes, most airlines allow you to gate check a car seat for free. It’s a convenient option if you plan to use your car seat on board or need it right after landing.
How to grocery shop with an infant?
Bring a shopping cart cover for a cleaner, more comfortable seat if your baby can sit up. If not, babywearing with a soft carrier is a great hands-free option. Be sure to keep outings short and bring essentials like pacifiers, bottles, or snacks.
Do I need a shopping cart cover?
While not required, shopping cart covers provide a barrier between your baby and high-touch public surfaces like grocery carts, helping reduce contact with dirt and germs during outings. Boppy’s 4 & More Multiuse cover can also be used for car seats, strollers, and more!
