11 Gift Ideas for New Parents Who Love to Travel

 
 

Some friends had a passport full of stamps before the baby arrived, and they're not about to stop now. They just need a little help bringing their new travel buddy along. These gifts celebrate their love of adventure and make the next trip easier.

11 Gift Ideas for Parents Who Love to Travel

  1. A travel-friendly carrier. Look for one that's lightweight, packs flat, and is comfortable for long days of sightseeing.

  2. A well-designed diaper backpack. Something stylish enough to double as their everyday bag, with room for a laptop, snacks, and a change of clothes.

  3. A portable sound machine. Small, rechargeable, and perfect for hotel rooms, airplanes, and naps in the stroller.

  4. A travel booster seat or high chair. A compact seat that straps onto a regular chair makes restaurants and rentals easier once the baby starts eating solids.

  5. A baby's first passport cover and travel journal. A sweet cover and a little journal to record each trip, from the first flight to the first beach day.

  6. A scratch-off map. Let them track every place their baby visits. It's a fun keepsake to hang in the nursery.

  7. A photo book or print credit. Travel with a baby means a lot of photos on a phone. A credit for a photo book helps them actually print their favorites.

  8. A babysitting night. Offer to watch the baby (or pay for a sitter) so they can plan the next trip over a quiet dinner.

  9. Comfortable travel layers. A cozy, wrinkle-free sweater or travel joggers that hold up to spit-up and long flights.

  10. A guidebook for their next destination. Bonus points for one with family-friendly tips.

  11. Giving an Arrive Ready Baby box. If your favorite travelers are coming to the Chicago area, you can reserve a box for their dates, or email us at hello@arrivereadybaby.com and we'll help you set it up as a gift. They'll spend less time packing and more time exploring.
