Have Baby, Will Travel - BabyGoShop.co.uk best Baby travel essentials for a UK holiday

June 2, 2009 - PRLog -- Sleeping and feeding are the biggest topics for discussion when it comes to new mums. Add the concern of being away from home, and any excitement about a holiday is quashed by stress! The trick is to keep as much of his routine the same as normal. If he likes the room really dark then replicate that when you are away with a portable Blackout Blind by Baa Baa. Take his favourite blanket, mobile or nightlight, whatever he is used to. To keep packing stress to a minimum, look at a pop-up travel cots that folds down into a small pack yet pop up in seconds to a roomy comfortable cot. Samsonite are great value and the NsCessity UV Travel Centre doubles up as a sun tent for the beach or garden.

A lightweight, compact fold stroller are so much easier to get on and off trains or buses not to mention fitting into the boot along with all the other luggage! The Graco Mojo Stroller can be folded with one hand and is very light. Make sure they are suitable for the age of your baby and can recline so naps can be taken in the pushchair if you go out for the day. Baring in mind the British weather, you will want to consider sun protection, rain covers and footmuffs!. The Rayshade UV Sunshade for the pushchair stays in place so you don't have to keep adjusting it to keep your baby in the shade unlike parasols. Raincovers are included with most pushchairs or strollers but universal covers are available if yours doesn't have one. A Footmuff may be an optional extra with your stroller so why not choose one that adds a personal touch.

A stroller may be too bulky or awkward for your needs particularly walking on a beach! Whereas a Baby Carrier is versatile and very compact to take along just in case. Look for designs that can be used in different ways as your child grows, so will last longer. If you like slings the Babasling is very versatile but if you like a carrier with lumbar support consider the Rose and Rebellion Carrier which can be used on the front or back and comes in many gorgeous fabrics.

A Baby Carrier can allow for discrete breast feeding positions but a strategically positioned muslin cloth is always a great stand by and has the advantage of mopping up any spills! For bottle feeding, Lindam Microwave Steriliser Bags are fantastic. Re-usable up to 20 times, a pack of 3 will last you a week. For warming bottles The Go-Anywhere Bottle Warmer by Polar Gear, with the click of a button, can warm a bottle in minutes and needs no power. It is reusable when 're-set' using the manufacturers instructions.

If you are at the weaning stage and your baby is sitting, you will need a high chair, bibs and bowls. The high chair is easily sorted in the form of a Totseat Chair Harness. Made from fabric and designed to fit almost any chair, they are so compact they fit in any bag and are machine washable too. Tommee Tippee Disposable Bibs are great for trips, just use and throw. For reusable bibs try Brother Max Combi 3 in 1 Bib which fold up to catch the mess or Bibetta Ultrabib, soft neoprene fabric that is wipeable and can last through 3 meals. Bowls that come with spoons enclosed or attached are great for travelling as you can contain all the messy stuff in one place. The Brother Max Travel Weaning Bowl is excellent.

The best advice I was ever given about travelling with a baby was to remember that they are very adaptable, but never leave home without wipes and a plastic bag!
