TINY TREKKER HEALTH & HYGIENE
TRAVEL SIZED & BABY SAFE
Our Pick
Baby Body Wash
AQUAPHOR BABY
Not only a great brand, but the pump makes dispensing this all-in-one shampoo and body wash into a travel-sized tube totally painless.
Frugal Pick
Baby Body Wash
BABYGANICS BODY
Great foamy wash with pump and tear-free formula. Going to need travel-sized tubes if going solely carry-on through security.
Luxe Pick
Baby Body Wash
TUBBY TODD HAIR+BODY
This brand exists for sensitive skin. The wash produces a fun lather, offers fragrance-free (and other scents) and protects skin so well on the road.
Our Pick
Baby Insect Repellent
BABYGANICS NATURAL (2oz)
(Not before 2 mos of age) DEET-free. We use this gentler natural spray as a first line of defense for AJ. When the mosquitoes aren't cooperating, we apply a spritz of Off FamilyCare containing DEET.
Frugal Pick
Baby Insect Repellent
OFF FAMILYCARE (2.5oz)
(Not before 2 mos of age). Contains DEET. Recommended by pediatricians on the US Gulf Coast, a region where mosquitoes vote and pay taxes.
Luxe Pick
Baby Insect Repellent
BABYGANICS INSECT (2oz)
(Not before 2 mos of age). Same as Our Pick. We love the non-greasy, inoffensive scent. But make your own decision about DEET vs DEET-free, especially weighed against the risks of mosquito-borne illness.
Our Pick
Baby Quick Dry Towel
CLOUD ISLAND HOODED
AJ insists on drying herself, which makes the hood a non-negotiable when she invariably gets distracted. Fast-drying & big enough to grow into. Still compact enough for travel.
Frugal Pick
Baby Quick Dry Towel
REI MINI QUICK DRY
Fantastic price on the ultra-compact camp & travel towel for little ones. Treated with bluesign-approved antimicrobial for odor control.
Luxe Pick
Baby Quick Dry Towel
DOCK & BAY KIDS PONCHO-TOWEL
Quick dry wearable towel-poncho combo, this brand is a leader in dry cloth tech and odor fighting. Thinner material folds nicely to stow. Great color options, too.
Our Pick
Baby Toothbrush
PAPABLIC BABYHANDY
2-Stage Baby Sonic. No Coke v Pepsi debate in our household or on travel. We alternate between manual and electronic brushes for teaching (and actually getting the job done).
Frugal Pick
Baby Toothbrush
DR BROWN INFANT TO TODDLER BRUSH
Compact and fun giraffe-shaped toothbrush with super sensitive bristles.
Luxe Pick
Baby Toothbrush
BRUSH BABY SONIC
Feature-rich, easy grip & sensitive head/brush for small mouths. The light is great for navigating that little puree cavern.
