We began international travel with our baby when she was just five months old, and I must admit that the prospect of traveling with her at that time was quite daunting, especially since I was handling it all alone. My husband had to leave for business before we could all travel together, which added to the challenge. Interestingly, people were very kind, which allowed us to skip the queues. I can only emphasize that the key to successful travel is to be well-organized. Essentially, you are trying to replicate what you use at home each day and bring it with you on the plane and into your accommodation.

Here are my favourite items to make travelling with our daughter smooth and easy.

1. Stroller

• Also known as yoyo stroller
• Easy to fold and carry as an overhead luggage

2. Baby carrier with a hip seat

• It is easy to use and comfortable
• Breathable

We enjoyed our camel ride in the hot summer days of Cairo (45 degrees Celsius) Baby girl even took a nap.

3. Baby back pack carrier

• Good for hiking, long walks, excursions
• Baby can easily enjoy the walk while playing on dada’s back

4. And electric bottle steriliser and warmer

– Plug & play!

5. Baby bassinets are provided on the plane.
