The first thing we heard when I got pregnant was “there goes the end of you being able to travel with just a carry on!” I am happy to say that this is not always true. Our first trip, when Bae was just 2 weeks old, was a six-week stay in San Diego and for that trip we did not pack carry on. We brought EVERYTHING from the nursing pillow to clothes in various sizes, to the double electric breast pump and bottles. We are learning as we go (which is a great way to describe this whole parenting thing, not just packing) and were able to easily pack everything we needed for our three week trip to snowy New York in carry on luggage. Tom and I shared one carry on backpack and used our other carry on bag for Bae. Our personal items were one bag full of all our computer gear and a diaper bag.<\/p>\n

BTW, we recently got Global Entry and TSA pre-check<\/a> and cannot recommend it enough! No long lines and we leave our computers in our bags and our shoes on our feet, it makes traveling with a baby so much easier! It only costs $100 for five years for Global Entry and TSA precheck, or $85 for just TSA precheck if you don’t plan on traveling internationally.<\/p>\n

Bae’s Gear<\/strong><\/p>\n

Special Baby Gear does not count towards your allotted carry on or checked luggage by airlines. You can bring a car seat and stroller for free and either check it at the counter or gate check it. If you are traveling Southwest and the flight is not full you can bring your car seat on the airplane and use a seat for Baby, they are nice like that. Otherwise, you either check your baby gear at the counter, or if you are bringing a stroller and want to take it all the way to the gate you can gate check your baby gear.<\/p>\n
