The Travel Edit: Must-Haves for a Family Getaway
Family getaways are equal parts magic and mayhem. Whether you’re jetting off to a new city or hitting the road for a weekend escape, the right gear makes all the difference. Think of this as your sunny-season survival kit—packed with soft, smart, and travel-friendly essentials from Monica + Andy to help make parenting on-the-go just a little bit easier.
1. BABYBJÖRN Travel Crib Light
Let’s face it—babies like what they know, and that often means lugging half the nursery along for the ride. But the BABYBJÖRN Travel Crib Light changes the game. It’s lightweight, super easy to set up (hello, one-handed pop-up!), and folds flat in seconds. Mesh sides keep things breathable and offer clear views of your little snoozer. Whether it’s a hotel room or grandma’s house, your baby's sleep sanctuary can come along for the ride—without the bulk.
2. One-and-Done Outfits
Hot days call for easy, breezy dressing. Our Henley Tank + Pocket Shorts and Dresses are made from 100% organic cotton—perfect for play, nap, and picture-perfect vacation moments.
Packing tip: These outfits fold up small, so you can stash a few in your suitcase without sacrificing space.
3. BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Free in 3D Mesh
When wheels won’t cut it—think cobblestone streets or scenic hikes—a baby carrier is your best friend. The BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Free in 3D Mesh keeps things cool and comfortable with breathable fabric and ergonomic support. No extra inserts, no fuss—just a lightweight, adjustable design that lets you explore hands-free (and tantrum-free).
4. Blankets That Do It All
Meet your multitasking MVP: the Always Blanket. It’s the ultimate travel sidekick—doubling as a stroller cover, snuggle layer on chilly flights, beach picnic mat, or even an emergency changing pad. Basically, it’s comfort-to-go, and your travel bag needs one (or two).
5. Back-Up Bottoms (Because… Life)
Pro tip from one mom to another: Always pack an extra pair of pants. Our Pocket Shorts are soft, comfy, and perfect for mid-trip wardrobe changes. Toss an extra outfit in your tote—you’ll thank yourself later.
6. Yogasleep Hushh Compact Sound Machine
Traveling can throw little sleep schedules into chaos. Enter the Yogasleep Hushh Compact Sound Machine—a tiny but mighty gadget that brings the soothing sounds of home on the road. Clip it to the stroller or crib, recharge it via USB, and enjoy peaceful naps and bedtime routines wherever your adventures take you.
Wherever You Go, Go Cozy
Summer memories are made in the little things—sticky fingers, sandy toes, unexpected giggles. With these Monica + Andy favorites in tow, you’re ready for the ride. Adventure awaits... and you’ll look pretty cute along the way.
