Vacations provide that much-needed break, a chance to explore new horizons and create lasting memories. When traveling with a baby, though, the dynamics change a bit. Navigating airports, sightseeing, and even simple dining outings require a touch more planning. From traveling with a baby to breastfeeding in public on your vacations, it’s essential to have the proper gear to make your break, well, a real break.

With ample storage pockets and multiple carrying positions, including a feeding position, Tushbaby seamlessly integrates into your travel to allow you to focus on the joy of the journey instead of the hassle of baby logistics.

Once you have the right gear, it’s time to pick the right destination. To help your family plan your next vacation, we’ve compiled a list of the best vacations to take with a baby.

Best Vacations With a Baby

What do all of the best baby-friendly vacations have in common?

When planning a vacation with a baby, you may be wondering what to look for. Baby-friendly vacation spots will need to have safe and enjoyable activities for the whole family. 

Consider the activities in your immediate and surrounding area—depending on the baby’s age, closer destinations may be more desirable. Next, consider the amenities. With a baby, you’ll have more things to travel with and clean, and more caregiving activities to perform. From traveling to lodging, you’ll want to ensure you have what you need to care for your baby, so planning ahead is important to ensure your vacation with a baby is as enjoyable as possible. 

Best places to vacation with a baby

U.S. national parks: There's no better place to bask in nature and history than our national parks, and as you wander the trails, having the Tushbaby to keep your little one close is a game changer. If your baby gets hungry during all this activity, Tushbaby's easy switch to the feeding position helps you comfortably breastfeed while soaking in the surroundings. And with your burp rag stashed in one of Tushbaby’s five storage pockets, you have everything you need to peacefully feed as you enjoy the sounds of nature.

Before heading to any national park, it's wise to check out the amenities and get familiar with the walking trails and lodging options.

All-inclusive resorts: Nothing beats having everything at arm's length. These resorts often buzz with family-friendly activities, and with your little one in tow, navigating the expansive property is a breeze, especially without a cumbersome stroller. That's where Tushbaby shines: it's a handy hassle-free way to move around with your baby, with the best support for both of you.

Beach vacations: The sound of crashing waves sets a relaxing scene for a vacation with your baby. When taking baby to the beach, you’ll want to plan ahead. From sun protection to on-the-go friendly storage, beach vacations are an ideal escape with a baby. Not only is our Tushbaby carrier perfect for seaside strolls, but our super-slim fold-up changing pad is an absolute must-have for sandy diaper swaps.

Need more storage for beach toys, snacks, and sunblock? Our Totebaby diaper bag fits the bill, ensuring you have a stress-free day at the beach.

Walkable cities: Every now and then, the allure of urban landscapes calls. Whether it’s around the corner or across the world, a city's sights and sounds are an adventure waiting to happen. And in bustling streets, our Tushbaby carrier ensures your baby stays close while you dive deep into the city vibes. Those swift diaper changes are stress-free with our foldable changing pad, while our mini wearable diaper bag The Pack offers an additional stylish way to tote your and your baby’s essentials.

Road trips: Planning to hit the open road? Ensure your backseat is packed with essentials, like a baby carrier for breastfeeding on the go—aka, Tushbaby. And with Tushbaby's open-style design, transitioning between carrying your baby and letting them explore during those rest-stop breaks is seamless and straightforward. 

While you may want to wait for your baby to age a bit before heading out on a road trip, it’s something to consider. Just be sure to prepare ahead of time and make a list of everything you may need. 

Family cruises: Similar to all-inclusive vacations, cruises offer an easy planning solution for a vacation. Before boarding the ship and cruising with a baby, ask the cruise line what you might need to bring to bathe your baby, feed your baby, and make sure your baby has a safe space to sleep.

Some cruise lines are more kid-friendly than others, so your research and get ready for some fun. Babywearing on a cruise ship can make you more mobile while allowing other guests more room to cruise. 

Vacation rentals: Vacation rentals are another great family-friendly way to travel. With some vacation rentals offering all the amenities of your very own home, they can be ideal for families traveling, especially with a baby. With multiple rooms in some vacation rentals, you can give your baby a quiet sleeping space.

Visiting family: Visiting family can make for a great vacation. Not only will you be surrounded by love that can rejuvenate your energy, but you’ll also enjoy some extra help with your baby.

Caregivers come in all shapes and sizes, and everyone deserves to carry more comfortably. To ensure everyone can comfortably carry and bond with your baby (and give you a break), our Waistband Extender can be added for extra length to the Tushbaby’s waistband. This way, sharing the joy of babywearing becomes seamless for the whole family.

Staycations: Sometimes, all we need is a little time off work and some fun local activities to get the break we need. From taking baby to the zoo to taking baby to the beach, staycations can offer a budget-friendly way to make memories with your baby. Tushbaby’s four carry positions allow you to share the sights with your baby from new heights while ensuring your body is properly supported and safe.

Babywearing is a game changer when it comes to traveling with a baby. Most baby carriers take some effort to get on and off, as they do to get your baby in and out. When traveling, this can complicate things. Enter…Tushbaby.

With its open-style design and four carrying positions, you and your baby can transition effortlessly between the “ups” and “downs” with Tushbaby. It provides built-in lumbar support for your back while ensuring your baby’s hips remain in the “M” position to support healthy hip growth. And  with multiple storage pockets, you're equipped for the journey ahead. Travel might be an adventure, but with Tushbaby, it's one you're well-prepared for.
