Baby travel packing list

Travelling with a baby doubles the luggage and halves the margin for error. This list starts with the baby category built into The Packing List app and adds the medicine, food, clothes and documents that families tell us they wish they had written down the first time.

Frequently asked questions

How many nappies should I pack for a trip?

Plan for one nappy per two hours of travel on the journey itself, plus a day's supply for arrival. For the rest of the stay, buy locally if you can; nappies take a lot of suitcase space and are sold almost everywhere.

Does a baby need a passport to fly?

For international flights, yes: every passenger needs their own passport, including newborns. Some countries also ask for a birth certificate or a consent letter when one parent travels alone. Domestic flights usually accept a birth certificate or no document at all.

What should I pack in the diaper bag for the plane?

Nappies, wipes and nappy cream, a changing mat, two spare outfits (and one for you), bottles or snacks, a pacifier or something to suck during take-off and landing, a small toy, a blanket and a plastic bag for anything soiled.

Can I share this list with my partner?

Yes. Open the list in The Packing List app and share it with a link. You can both tick things off from your own phones and see the other person's changes in real time.

Every item on this page is one of the built-in suggestions in The Packing List app.
