FOR BACKPACKERS AND BRATPACKERS
MUST-HAVE BABY CHANGING GEAR
ESSENTIAL PACKING FOR MESS & CLEAN-UP
Our Pick
Compact Change Pad
BABBLEROO SUPER W/ HEAD SUPPORT
Pockets are great, but nothing competes with head support. Plus, my personal fave -- one-handed folding? Thanks to this little miracle, that won't be a problem.
Frugal Pick
Compact Change Pad
HAMUR HOME PILLOW SUPPORT
No more head bonks in airplane lavatories. Folds down to a respectable 9" x 8" (22 cm x 20 cm). Machine washable.
Luxe Pick
Compact Change Pad
PEHR “ON THE GO” ORGANIC
Another head bonk-free experience to help promote eventual travel memories. Light stuffing keeps pee contained on that angled lavatory change table. Liquid-resistant material.
Our Pick
Diaper Bag/Backpack
SKIPHOP DIAPER BACKPACK
As a travel pack, people absolutely rave about this bag's material quality and spaciousness. It'll even fit a laptop and it's water-repellent. Best of all, IT STANDS UP.
Frugal Pick
Diaper Bag/Backpack
BABBLEROO TRAVEL DIAPER BACKPACK
Incredibly well-reviewed for the price point. Travelers are especially keen on the ample pocket space.
Luxe Pick
Diaper Bag/Backpack
DAGNE DOVER INDI
Vibrant neoprene bags that are great for travel. Easy to spot our "storm" colored pack. Plus, there is nothing we could spill on this bag that hasn't come out. Beautiful and incredibly convenient.
Our Pick
Odor-Trapping Bags
MUNCHKIN ARM & HAMMER DISPENSER & BAGS
Nothing holds scent better when you're stuck without a way to dispose of your dirty diapers. Trapped on a rural road in a rental car? You'll appreciate a roll of these.
Frugal Pick
Odor-Trapping Bags
EARTH RATED POO BAGS
Yes! Seriously. (pet owners will understand). Choose lavender or unscented. One little roll in the diaper bag and you will thank us with every rip (no pun intended).
Luxe Pick
Odor-Trapping Bags
MUNCHKIN ARM & HAMMER DISPENSER & BAGS
We use these constantly. Great scent-sealing, fit well in bag pockets, and the dispenser clip lets you attach anywhere.
Our Pick
Satellite Diaper Bag
TUSHBABY BELT PACK
Perfect for a quick trip to the loo or for shorter outings when you don't want to risk getting stranded without your changing gear. Wears across chest, back, or waist. Stylish enough to have an extended life outside diaper duty.
Frugal Pick
Satellite Diaper Bag
PACKING CUBES
Already a life-saver for keeping a cluttered suitcase from turning into a stress bomb. The smallest one works perfectly for a mini diaper kit.
Luxe Pick
Satellite Diaper Bag
TUSHBABY “THE HIP CARRIER”
Yeah, these guys are famous for their bigger fanny/hip bag that features a seat for that 130th percentile adora-chonk. If you're pacing the aisle of an airplane to keep the fuss to a minimum, you will feel like Einstein for remembering this pack.
Our Pick
Travel Pee Containment
PEE BUDDIES
Our friends adore this innovation for their boys. Especially miraculous in a tiny plane lavatory.
Frugal Pick
Travel Pee Containment
PUPPY PADS
You betcha. Having this under a changing pad in one of the many leaning, angled or bent change tables on the road (read: PLANE), means the difference between wet and dry.
Luxe Pick
Travel Pee Containment
PEEKAPOO PAD
Like our other picks, these are clutch when performing a change on an uneven travel surface. Not just in an airplane, but how about the back seat of that rental vehicle, eh?
Our Pick
Travel-Size Rash Fix
AQUAPHOR HEALING
TSA-size-approved. This ointment is as good as it gets for us when it comes to creating a protective barrier between skin and wetness, especially on long days in humidity or a baby carrier.
Frugal Pick
Travel-Size Rash Fix
BURT’S BEES
TSA-size-approved. This is where it all started for Burt & his bees. Protecting skin. Great wetness barrier from Sweet Almond Oil.
Luxe Pick
Travel-Size Rash Fix
TUBBY TODD ALL OVER
One-tenth of an ounce over TSA's approved liquid limit. But this stuff is too effective not to mention. Particularly praised for treating baby excema, but great for booty protection as well. Pricey, but long-lasting.
Our Pick
Travel-Size Wipes
PAMPER'S HEAD-TO-TOE
Sensitive enough to clean every inch, including food messes, without irritating skin. Compact size for packing ease.
Frugal Pick
Travel-Size Wipes
PAMPER'S COMPACT
Instead of stuffing one huge pack into your luggage, pick up this 3-pack (56-count) and disperse among your bags to your heart's content.
Luxe Pick
Travel-Size Wipes
COTERIE BABY TRAVEL
Few ingredients, thick & super compact. Reinforced with cotton and moisturizer for travel-rash-prone bobs & bits.
