[quote=Anonymous]Pack and play for sleep/safe play space. You can check it on the plane or maybe your family can borrow one so you don’t have to lug it with you. Otherwise, we liked the Lullyboo travel bassinet. It folds up into a backpack. We would stash it in the car seat travel bag when checking it through.

Obviously check your car seat with a cover (consider buying a travel only car seat; the Cosco Scenara is $55 and lightweight). I’d recommend getting a travel bag you can wear like a backpack. Makes it easier to deal with at luggage claim.

You may or may not need a lightweight stroller. Several times we just wore our baby at four months old, but if you want a stroller, I would bring either a cheap umbrella stroller or invest in one that’s awesome for travel. We have the BabyZen Yo-yo and it’s amazing.

I liked wearing my baby in an ergo walking through the airport and during boarding so I could manage luggage, tickets, passports easier.

At four months you’ll just need a nursing top or bottles. Buy a refrigerator lunch bag with an ice pack if you will be bringing bottles. TSA may open and test milk going through security. I always just put the freezer bag in its own bucket on the conveyor belt and gave them a heads up it was milk.

Make sure you have a change of clothes for the baby and a shirt for yourself in the diaper bag. Plus several gallon size Ziploc bags for dirty clothes, trash etc and some Lysol wipes for the seat back tray, Windows, etc. You won’t really need much other than maybe a couple baby toys for entertainment.

If you want to cut down on how much you are bringing, pack yourself a handful of diapers and a small package of wipes and Amazon a box of what you need to where you will be staying.
