If you have a child that tends to get car sick, it might be a good idea to have bags on hand for that reason as well. ![]() I was so grateful to have an extra set of clothes in the car for the kids and bags to put the dirty ones into. ![]() ![]() Our Yellowstone trip was filled with muddy hikes, eating in the car and playing in a lake. You never know when you’ll need an extra change of clothes or a plastic bag for a soiled diaper. Or sometimes you might notice that your little one seems to be getting fussy, hoarse, or “under the weather,” in which case you could reach for cough syrup, a probiotic, electrolyte supplement (to stave off dehydration when you’re traveling), or gripe water (like this one from Mommy’s Bliss). It is a good idea to pack a toy in your first aid kit that could distract a child while you are helping get them bandaged up sometimes distraction is the best medicine. It is rather large, so I generally only bring it along on longer road trips. It comes with items that would cover you in a sticky situation with a flat tire, as well as Band-Aids for those inevitable scratched knees. I have a “go-to” kit in my car that covers automobile needs as well as first aid needs. They are easy to clean and do a much better job of keeping your baby clean than the small disposable pads do. If I am out and about, I will generally have a small blanket or changing pad and will use that in the restroom. I do have a van (no shame, ladies) and I will use the floor of the van to get the business done. I have found that it is oftentimes easier and more convenient to change my child’s diaper in the car. I make sure I store all my extras: change of clothes, extra diapers, drinks, sunblock, bug spray, medicines, food, water, shoes and a great bundle of wipes. 3) Fully Stock your CarĬan I confess something? I fully stock my car with duplicates of baby essentials. Pack washable bibs along if your little ones still make a mess when they eat.
