![]() ![]() I loved wearing Finn (especially when he weighed less than he does now) and still do, but the first 18-months was when we used our Ergobaby the most. It was officially declared a “hip healthy” product by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute.īaby-wearing has lots of benefits, including letting parents be more mobile and helping you bond and have closeness with your child. The Ergobaby 360 is ergonomically safe for babies to be front facing and is not damaging to their hips. We upgraded to an Ergobaby 360 when Finn was about six months old and wanted to look forwards. When Finn was a newborn, we used the Ergobaby Adapt Carrier and, because it’s a bit wider and cosier, he tended to sleep better in that one. The Ergobaby 360 is definitely one of those things. I’m not an ‘influencer’ paid to say something is good, the products I genuinely believe in pop up in my posts and videos even when I don’t mention them and that is because these are genuinely the baby travel items I use all the time. Follow me on and for baby-related social media posts. I talk about my Ergobaby sling a lot on social media. Ergobaby 360 Baby Carrier I adore my Ergobaby carrier and Finn loved it too (Picture: Simon Henry) On this trip to Lisbon we dined alfresco on the roof of The Lumiares hotel and Finn snoozed happily in his pod under the stars. With such a lovely temperature after the sun goes down I wasn't going to let having a baby mean I couldn't enjoy it – especially with celebrated chef Miguel Castro e Silva behind the menu! Without the pram with me there was only one thing for it, an alfresco snooze in his It took him a bit longer to nod off (probably because he wanted to stay up and party!) but he loves being outside so this made for the perfect bedroom! #finnstagram #Sleepyhead #fivemonthsoldĪ post shared by PASSPORT BABY ✈️□□☀️ on at 12:17am PDTĮven on trips where I have travelled without my pram, I still took the Sleepyhead. The absolutely gorgeous hotel where we are staying has a rooftop restaurant (Lumni) which has PERFECT views across #Lisbon. However, on some airlines we were told this wasn’t allowed. Another cheeky baby travel tip is that you can actually the lay the sleepyhead across tray tables in Economy (if you aren’t lucky enough to get a baby cot bulkhead seat). Our Sleepyhead has been all over the world with us and whenever we were on the plane with it, three or four people would stop to ask us about it. With little effort we would be able to make up a makeshift sleep space from an armchair or spare bed. The Sleepyhead fitted perfectly in the baby travel cot on Virgin Atlantic and it was ideal when we stayed in hotels where the travel cot was extra large, or they didn’t have one at all. With Finn content in his common sleeping space, it made it easier for us to put him down to sleep on planes and in hotels. When it comes to travel, the Sleepyhead is also a dream come true (no pun intended). Finn is a frequent flyer now (Photo: Helen Wright) When you want to transition your baby from the crib to the big cot, if you do so in the Sleepyhead, it’s likely they wont even notice the difference. Unless he was in the pram (or on us) he slept in the Sleepyhead and he has always been, and still is, a great sleeper. When Finn was a newborn, we’d have him curled up in his Sleepyhead on the sofa for naps. It also works as a Moses basket, but is much more portable and easier to transport up and downstairs and out of the house. Finn always slept so well and I do credit this in part to the snuggly and secure surroundings of the pod. We had a crib beside our bed at home and the Sleepyhead fitted neatly inside. Have baby with you in bed but safe in the cushioned frame of the Sleepyhead so you don’t roll on them. If you’d like to try co-sleeping but are scared of squashing the baby, it can work as a good compromise. As well as being great for travelling, it is a fantastic way to sleep your baby at home. This is something I recommend to all new parents, not just those who want to travel. Baby travel items: My definitive traveling with a baby checklist The Sleepyhead Deluxe My first Mother’s Day, in Wales with Finn in his Sleepyhead (Photo: Simon Henry) I mention a few baby travel essentials there, but when asked for my absolute, ‘must-have’ baby travel items, I had to go with these six picks. If you want to find out more about taking your baby on the plane or travelling with a newborn, my detailed post on flying with a baby should answer most of your questions or concerns. A lot of these are contained within my Ultimate Guide to Orlando – because Florida seems to be a hot topic at the moment and I do spend a lot of time there… But, after the land of Mickey Mouse and Harry Potter, I’ve also found a lot of parents are curious about what baby travel items you really need when travelling with a baby. One of my new plans for passportstamps.uk is to write posts on all of the most common things people ask me. ![]()
