Traveling with a baby – relaxed on the road with the right tips

The first vacation with a baby? Sounds dreamy, but at the same time, it involves a lot of planning. Packing suitcases, checking paperwork, planning breaks… it can quickly become stressful. But don't worry: With the right checklists and smart tools, the trip will be relaxing.

The fact is: Whether by car, train, or plane, traveling with a baby is different. Good preparation is the key to less chaos and more adventure.

The basic checklist

Documents: passport/child's passport, vaccination certificate, insurance card
Food: Milk, snacks, water, bibs
Hygiene: diapers, wet wipes, changing mat, spare clothes
Sleep & Comfort: Favorite blanket, pacifier, cuddly toy
Safety: Baby seat/child seat, first aid kit, MARY by sticklett

Traveling by car

• Newborns: max. 1 hour at a time, then break
• Babies from 3–6 months: 1.5–2 hours possible
• Toddlers: several hours, but plan breaks every 2-3 hours
👉 Tip: Set your departure time so that your baby sleeps during the journey.

Traveling by plane

• Book early: places with baby cots are limited
• Take-off & landing: Pacifiers, breastfeeding or bottles help with pressure equalization
• Pack your hand luggage cleverly: Diapers, change of bodysuit , snacks ready to hand

Traveling by train

• Choose family compartments or quiet areas
• Reserve stroller spaces in advance
• Pack toys & snacks – boredom on the train can be loud
