Travel with a baby can be so rewarding, but I have found that it does come with its own set of challenges. One of the biggest challenges I faced is getting my baby to sleep while traveling. Having my baby in a new environment was very distracting and stimulating. On top of being a new environment, it was often louder or brighter than my baby was used to. The SlumberPod Privacy Pod is an ingenious solution to this problem.

European Road Trip with a Baby or Toddler
As people flocked back to Europe in the summer of 2022, we saw the price of flights continue to rise. We knew we wanted to escape the heat in Italy, but we knew it would be a challenge to fly with our 11 month old baby given all the delays and cancellations that had been happening that summer. We had two weeks to fill and a European road trip with a baby seemed like the perfect solution!
Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park with a Baby
When we decided to have a baby, we also decided that we would not stop doing the things we love. For us that includes traveling and hiking. We knew that traveling and hiking with a baby would be a little different, and that’s ok; we’ve quickly learned to embrace life and travel at a slower pace. (Literally- when you are carrying a 13 lb baby on your chest, you’re forced to slow down a bit!). So, our first time traveling with a baby was an Acadia National Park family vacation.

Glamping in Joshua Tree National Park with a Baby
As avid travelers and hikers, we knew as soon as we had our baby we wanted to start taking him to National Parks. Our family is based in Arizona and fortunate to have access to many great parks within driving distance. At six weeks old, we took our son Chase on a road trip around Utah National Parks and Arizona. We quickly realized we wanted to share more parks with him and began planning a California trip including Joshua Tree National Park.
Sleepout Curtains Review – One of My Favorite Travel Essentials
One of my top recommendations for getting your baby to sleep on vacation is to create a similar sleep environment to the one you have at home. If your baby or toddler is accustomed to sleeping in a dark room at home, then they will sleep much better while traveling if also have a dark room. As you will see in my Sleepout Curtains review, you can easily darken any room while traveling with these excellent portable blackout curtains.
