Travel Baby Shower Gifts for Moms
Perfect Baby Shower Gifts for Expecting or New Moms Who Love Travel
If you know a new mom or expecting mom who is a travel junkie, help her spread that love of travel to her new baby with these great travel gifts for new moms.
Sometimes, women who love travel think a new baby will put an end to feeding their wanderlust. There is nothing further from the truth, however. Babies travel well if mom has the right gear, and traveling with a baby is a wonderful experience for moms, dads and babies.
In fact, you might even consider throwing a travel theme baby shower and sending this list to attendees seeking gift ideas. You could also tuck in this list of Top Reasons to Travel with Kids in the card as inspiration.
Travel Diaper Bag
Any mom who's traveled with a typical diaper bag knows it just doesn't cut it for the demands of travel. The Baby Sherpa Diaper Backpack, however, is perfect for traveling moms. It's handy for everything from daytrips to outdoor adventures to airport trips. This is a diaper bag designed by parents and for parents on the go.
Baby Travel Guide Book
A great way to show mom that travel is doable with a baby is to provide helpful tips and tactics for dealing with baby travel dilemmas. A good choice is the LifeTips 101 Baby Travel Tips book. It's compact enough to slide into a diaper bag, yet packed with helpful tips on flying, driving, train riding and other methods of traveling with babies.
Baby Carrier
Rookie moms travel with strollers, but don't let your new mom friend make that mistake. Sometimes strollers work, but often times a baby carrier or backpack is a much more practical choice. There are so many places where travel with strollers is inconvenient or even impossible, especially in foreign countries with few elevators or for outdoor adventures with no paved sidewalks.
The Kelty Kids line of carriers is the best suited for travel. If you're buying for an expecting mom, a carrier designed for smaller babies and front carrying is best, and the Kelty Kangaroo rated up to 25 pounds is a great choice. For new moms with older babies, the Kelty Adventure goes up to 50 pounds and they'll get more mileage. For those moms who do a mix of urban and outdoor adventures, get a stroller and carrier in one with the Kelty Convertible.
Baby Travel Bed
Hotels are notorious for poor baby sleeping accommodations, and camping makes it even tougher. Lugging a portable play pen is even more of a pain. That new mom will already be lugging lots of baby gear, so help her simplify and save her arm muscles. The PeaPod Baby Travel Bed deflates and collapses into a tiny sack, and it makes a great choice for a baby sleep bed or a play area outside, camping or at the beach.
