One of our favorite trips to take is visiting grandparents in Florida. The flight from New York is around two hours (totally manageable, even alone) and they already have a car seat, stroller, pack n' play, and a whole slew of toys so I don't need to lug much with us. Not to mention—they have a pool, and both Momma and baby like to swim. (Ok, Momma likes to lay out.) Because we go down there so often, we've tried almost EVERY baby floatation device on the market—water wings, swim vests with floaty inserts, infant life vests—but nothing has worked. They all seemed to either pull Charlie on his face, or onto his back and then his face. Plus, they were impossible to put on. This floating canopy is genius, and the only thing I truly recommend for the water. It keeps babies and toddlers completely afloat, and it keeps the sun off of them. (Kids usually pulls sun hats off immediately.) In fact, Charlie loves it so much, it's almost impossible to get him out of the thing. *Note that I have my own adult version, but without the canopy. Can someone make these things with a canopy??
I used to be a magazine writer who regularly traveled the world. Then I had a baby. Now I'm a magazine writer who regularly travels the world with a toddler in tow. (Was I really supposed to stay home for the next 18 years?) This site features the best places we've been, the worst places we've been, and tips on how to survive traveling with a little extra baggage.
