[quote=Anonymous]If you've never packed for a trip with a kid before, I say this with all seriousness: start packing now. We've done it a bunch of times and I'm still not calibrated to how much longer it takes to pack up for us now with kids vs. when it was just me and my husband. Things you may not think of: a thermometer and infant tylenol (having had kids get sick on trips we always bring this now); overnight diapers, baby monitor. We like to bring a silicone placemat and plate to put down at restaurants when we use their highchairs. The tables are always pretty dirty and kids just eat right off of them. I second also bringing a ziplock bag with a sippy, utensils, wipeable bib, and kid plate for travel to restaurants. We have reusable zippered bags we use for this purpose, even when going to restaurants at home. I can't believe that restaurants serve small children with ceramic plates and adult utensils. Kids are people too!

If you're driving, lots of toys for the car.

Also, make an actual list of things to bring right now (like in a Google doc) and that way you won't have to remake this list every time you travel.[/quote]
