I shared my broad list of things for travel and now we get down to the nitty gritty details. I love checklists. With crazy busy days, working full time and trying to get ready for a trip, something is inevitable going to fall through the cracks. So lists are my friend. They are also a working document, you can add to change, customize what you need. So this is for our 12 day European trip coming in ONE WEEK!
Toddler Toiletries
I always pack our Children’s Tylenol and ESPECIALLY the Benadryl when we are traveling somewhere new. The Benadryl stays in the diaper bag at all times. Just a worrisome first time Mom thing, I think.

Now, what am I missing? Suggestions?! Thanks!
What brand of sunscreen do you use? Just wondering. I think when we go to Florida this summer I am going to pack all of Carter's stuff in a vacuum bag to save space and just put it with my stuff! Since we will be at my parents I know they have a vacuum I can use when repacking!
OK another question- when you travel do you check the carseat and then bring the stroller to the gate? Do you/can you check the carseat with the base on it? Also! Do you use a real stroller or an umbrella stroller in the airport?
We check the carseat and check the stroller. I think you can check it with the base but depending on the seat you have, most infant car seats don't require the base. Typically we use our regular City Mini but this trip we got an umbrella stroller (Maxi Cosi) that had a recline. We never had an issue with the stroller on our other flights.
