[quote=Anonymous]Lots of good suggestions already. Some things we liked:

- Inglesina Fast Chair--put it in my suitcase multiple times. Love love love! We used it starting as soon as our son could do a supported sit (3-4 months?), well before he was actually eating.

- BabyBjorn Travel Crib, as others have said--if you need to carry it any distance, this is terrific. If you're traveling to the same place often (e.g., grandparents) just get a Pack n Play and keep it there to avoid lugging a crib around, though--and if you stay in hotels you can pretty much always get a crib there.

- Combi Coccoro car seat--super lightweight and we never encountered a car or plane seat where it couldn't be installed. Fits nicely on Amtrak luggage racks too!

- Umbrella stroller that you can fit the Coccoro into (we have had too, a Cybex and an Uppababy, and both worked fine for that). Our go-to setup was baby in carrier and car seat in stroller--one parent; luggage and travel crib--other parent. If one of you ends up traveling alone with baby, just do curbside checkin or have the other parent or a friend get a gate pass to take gear to gate.

Also, while we haven't traveled with it yet, we recently got a Nuna Sena Mini crib for our second child as his primary sleeping place--love that thing! It is heavier but more compact than the BabyBjorn Travel Crib and lighter/smaller than a traditional Pack n Play, so for trips where you don't have to walk distances with the crib, I'd go for that since it has a bassinet attachment.
