Bring A Stroller Or Sling

When traveling with a baby or toddler, having a way to carry them around is essential. If you’re visiting cities or places with paved paths and sidewalks, a stroller can make walking around easier. For hiking or navigating crowded areas, a sling might be a better choice.

Consider your trip’s activities to decide which option, or both, will best suit your needs. Slings are very light and easy to pack, while strollers can be bulky. However, there are lightweight, foldable strollers available that are worth investing in if you plan to use them frequently.

Other factors to consider include:

• Destination Climate: In warm destinations, you might not want your baby pressed to your chest all the time.
• Travel Terrain: Will you be on stroller-friendly sidewalks or rugged trails?
• Packing Preferences: Do you prefer packing light or ultra-light?

If you’re bringing a sling, ensure you know how to use it before the trip. Choose a stroller or sling that is lightweight and easy to fold for convenience during travel.
