Time for a road trip! Top 10 road trip must-haves for traveling with baby this summer

by Shelly_Wutke from 06-12-2013

road_trip_tips.jpgWhen people ask me if it’s difficult to do a road trip with 4 kids in tow, I always say, “It depends.” And it really does. Even though we’ve done a 3 week or longer road trip every summer for the past 10 years and I like to think of myself a bit of a pro when it comes to buckling them up in the minivan and hitting the great outdoors, it can definitely get stressful at points during the trip. And just maybe it can be a little more than stressful when it comes to traveling with a baby. But the key to a great road trip, even with a little one along for the ride, is to keep things as familiar as possible and be prepared for anything.

Q & A's

What words of wisdom would share with new parents?

If you had one piece of advice to share with new parents, what would it be?

Although I cannot claim authority on this, as I have not had the pleasure of welcoming a bundle into this world just yet, I consulted several of my mama-fied friends to get their top tip for new parents:

Don't worry so much about whether you're doing the "right" thing.
You worry about whether you're doing the right thing for your child but what other people think is right might not be right for you. So don't worry about what other people are doing. Every child is different and what works for one (i.e. breastfeeding vs. formula) doesn't work for all. And give yourself a break!

Sleep when they sleep!
When they are still newborns, sleep when they sleep - even when your place is messy and you haven't showered. Don't get too fixed on a sleeping schedule because they will change it as soon as you do.

Eat well because you need your energy!
Sometimes you get caught up in making sure that the baby is looked after and the family is looked after and the house is somewhat clean... but you have to remember to keep yourself nourished as well because that baby is depending on you.

What piece of advice would you share for first-time parents?

Buying Guide

Stroller Buying Guide

Strollers are an absolute must if you plan to ever leave the house with your baby. Even though carrying your baby can do wonders for your bond, after a few months, your little bundle of joy may start feeling more like a heavy - but cute - sack of flour.

Whether you go for something like an umbrella stroller or a double stroller, a good, high quality model will make any outing easier, safer and more comfortable for you and your baby.

Types of Strollers
While all strollers can get you and your baby from one destination to the next, not all of them are created equal. There are plenty of different models to choose from, so you will be able to find a stroller that not only suits your needs and lifestyle, but also keeps your baby happy and safe.

Full-Size Strollers
With its sturdy frame and reclining seats, a full-size stroller can adapt to your growing baby's needs. These strollers either have a bassinet stage or can accommodate infant car seats (a separate adapter may be needed) so your newborn can lie flat - the safest recommended position for infants.

When your child is old enough to sit, the seat can be pulled up to different positions, so your little one can sit up and interact with the world or comfortably recline and nap. Some strollers even have reversible seats, allowing you to face your baby towards you for some quality time together.

These strollers also offer a large canopy that helps shield baby from the sun, wind and rain, as well as a tray table and cup holders and ample storage space for diaper bags, food, and anything else parents need while on the go.

Whether you're expecting your first baby or already have a two-year-old, you'll need the right gear for your little one. From the perfect toys for playtime to a safe car seat for journeys on the road, the list of things you'll need will constantly evolve as your baby grows. Best Buy has a wide selection of strollers, car seats, nursery essentials, baby monitors and other baby products from trusted brands like Evenflo, VTech, Stork Craft and Safety 1st to make you and your baby's life happy, safe and comfortable.

Showing Baby the World

Car seats and strollers are must-haves for taking your baby on road trips and showing her the world. Car seats come in different varieties to fit your growing child, including infant car seats, convertible car seats and booster seats. Features such as safety harnesses, sun canopies and cushioned seats keep your little one safe and comfortable on the road. For carting your baby around the neighbourhood, shopping centre or park, there is an array of strollers to fit your needs. Many strollers are convertible as your baby grows and some strollers come with a compatible car seat.

A Safe Sanctuary for Baby

Your baby will spend a great deal of time in her nursery, and there's plenty you can do to make it safe and comfortable for both you and your angel. A safe crib with a firm mattress will help your baby drift off into dreamland, while a glider will give you a comfy place for snuggling, nursing and feeding your baby. A baby monitor gives you an extra eye when you're not in the nursery, and a changing table will make diaper duty easier.

Baby Shower Gifts

Looking for a baby shower gift for a friend or relative? Best Buy has a huge selection of baby products that are perfect for gift-giving. Expectant parents will be thrilled to receive a baby gift basket, toys, baby clothes, nursery décor, baby monitor or other thoughtfully chosen gift.
