A good set of travel packing tips is very useful to parents that are traveling with babies and young children. Once upon a time travel packing tips consisted of ticket – check, passport – check, something to read – check, ok – let’s go!
Once baby entered the scene, traveling became a lot more complicated. Between strollers, portable, cribs, diapers, baby food, toys, extra clothes, blankies, binkies – it’s a wonder that parents leave the house at all. I know I traveled as little as possible when my children were under 1 year old. It just wasn’t worth the effort and I usually returned from the trip more stressed out than when I left. So the best of my travel packing tips is – Just Stay Home!
But I know that many of you are more adventurous than I, and truth be told, I did end up leaving the house from time to time. 
Actually I have become quite adept at packing up a family of six – although traveling is still not my favorite thing to do.
But rather than rely on my travel packing tips expertise, I will point you over to Aruni’s excellent site – Entrepremusings, where she hosts a variety of Guest Baby Tips. If you recall, back in December I had the honor of guest posting my time honored parenting tip about keeping a baby food journal. This month Aruni’s Guest Baby Tip is authored by Maryam Ghaemmaghami Scoble, wife of Robert Scoble of Scobelizer fame. Entitled “15 Tips for Traveling with Baby“, this month’s Guest Baby Tip outlines some great travel packing tips for parents to keep in mind. Covering everything from necessary baby equipment, to diapers and formula, to airport activities for children Maryam covers it all.
Now that winter break is upon some of us, with others planning vacations during the March spring break, these travel packing tips are very timely. If anything, these tips may just motivate me to leave the comforts of home and pursue some foreign adventure.

I used to pack way more clothing than needed, then I realized that most hotels have laundry. So now, I pack light and do a load of wash if we are away for more than 5 days.
