![]() ![]() I have found that when we travel, my kids seem to go through more diapers than they would at home. ![]() Take a few more than what you would normally need for this time frame. (I have small children, the Goof could fit in some onesies well past the age of two.) I also suggest putting a onesie under clothing if your child can still fit in them. I try and keep this one as something that will work in any climate that we might encounter. Keep a full extra outfit in here in case of an accident or a blowout. This is one I like to keep where I can easily get to it. But then I like to pack a second bag for the trip. This goes in the trunk or bottom of the plane.

The Goof at age 1 on his first trip to California. Thankfully, we made it down to California just fine and the Goof was able to enjoy his time…though we did end up with an ER trip as well, but that is a story for another day. Now every time we go down to California, when we drive by or stop at that gas station, I think about changing my poor little guy as semis sped by. Thankfully, I had put a onesie on under his pajamas for easy changing when we got to Vegas, and the onesie had protected his pajamas so we didn’t have to dig out a new set of PJs. As I took him out of the car seat I found he had a complete blow out! Something he had not had since he was a newborn. ![]() I went back to check on him and give him a bottle. As Mike went in to use the restroom, The Goof woke up crying. It was only 28° outside, and semis were driving by at random. I still have not figured out why, but Mike pulled into the pump closest to the highway to get gas. We stopped on the side of the highway in a tiny little town to get gas.

It was his first road trip since when he was 2 months old (yes, we took a 2 month old on a 10 day, 7 state road trip).
