Going on holiday with your baby is exciting but getting ready for a trip can feel more like work than vacation.
Travelling with baby can be intimidating, but it’s not impossible. The joys of discovering new places and the comfort of a hotel (where you don't have to clean or cook), walks on the beach can put your mind at rest and recharge your batteries.
That said, whether you’re getting to your destination by plane, train or automobile, you’ll still want to prepare to ensure your journey goes as smoothly as possible. Find out how our Ergobaby summer essentials can help you have a relaxing holiday with your baby.
What sort of accommodation to book on holiday with your baby?
The best way to travel with your baby will depend on time, location and budget - so take some time to work out what suits your family best.
Package holidays offer you the comfort of not having to worry about drinks and meal preparation when you book half-board or all-inclusive. Many family-friendly hotels also have a

Yaaay, your first family holiday with your baby! Travelling with a baby is a whole new experience, and it can be pretty daunting, but we are here to help! With the right preparation you can limit the turbulence of your first flight with baby. We have summarised the most commonly asked questions and answers to give you all the information you need for flying with a baby.
When can I fly with my baby for the first time?
It's probably sooner than you think. According to Baby Center, most airlines will insist that your baby is at least two weeks old but depending where you live and where you are flying to there are no standard regulations, so it's best to check with your airline before you book. Some airlines may ask you to provide a fit-to-fly letter from your doctor if your baby is less than two weeks old.
If you gave birth by caesarean section, you may need to wait until after your six-week postnatal check-up before you take to the skies. Even then, you should only fly when your GP gives

Up against some tough competition, the parent judges awarded Gold to our compact Metro+ stroller
Here is what they had to say:
This pram is next level - super compact, super comfy.
Parent tester Bethny, who tested this with their 9 month old and 2 year old
Why it's a winner: The Ergobaby Metro+ is smart to look at and easy to push one-handed. It proved a big hit with our parent testers who loved the timeless design, durable materials, sturdy wheels and generous storage basket. The stroller comes in the box already set up and ready to go and is a breeze to fold and unfold one-handed. The Metro+ earned tester compliments such as “super compact”, “could not be lighter to carry” and “worth every single penny”. The pushchair seat itself is well-padded and fully reclines if your toddler wants to take a nap.
In the words of parent Bianca, who tested the Metro+ Stroller with their 6 month old:
“The handle bars are sturdy and the straps and buckles to secure the baby are fantastic quality;

How to Choose the Right Stroller for your Family
Picking the right stroller can be a complicated task! We want to help you make the right decision for you and your family by understanding the various types of strollers, their benefits, and which one fits your family’s needs the best.
Let's start at the very beginning, there are five main types of stroller and each fulfil a different purpose:
Standard Size Stroller - this is what you picture when someone says "stroller", it's the middle of the road type and can have lots of variations
Car Seat Frame Stroller/Travel System - this will usually consist of different parts - stroller, car seat and a carrycot for newborn use
Jogging Stroller - The clue is in the name here too, specially designed for parents who intend to spend a lot of time out and about exercising with their little ones
Double Stroller - For those who need to push more than one baby at once, a double stroller can be a handy option. Alternatively we like the one in the stroller

How a Compact Stroller Will Help Your Everyday Routine
The everyday routine of a parent is busy and at times chaotic to say the least. And while children are wonderful, they can also make everyday errands into an epic event. Need to run to the store just for milk and toothpaste? Alone, you can be there and back home in 10 minutes. But with a kid, you never know how long it’ll take. You have to pack a change bag, put your child and his stuff in the car, drive to the store, take him and his stuff out of the car—there’s 25 minutes right there (not including any surprise setbacks) and you haven’t even made it into the store. It can make any sane parent feel like going crazy.
But everyday life requires leaving your house some days. You have places to go and people to see; not to mention your sanity to keep. Want to know what can help you keep your sanity? A compact stroller. It can’t pack a change bag or put your child into his car seat, but it does add some convenience to your everyday routine.
