Disney Packing Checklist for Parents with Babies

Here’s the ultimate Disney packing list to keep you prepared, your baby comfortable, and everyone happy without a hitch:

Tushbaby Hip Seat Carrier: This carrier is an absolute game-changer for navigating every Disney adventure. It evenly distributes your baby’s weight across your hips to alleviate strain on your back and shoulders, and offers a plush seat for baby with 4 carrying positions. It’s especially useful when your baby wants up and down often or when navigating the crowds—just pop them on the seat and let them take in all the magic while you both stay comfortable. It also doubles as a diaper bag, so you can store some of the other essentials listed below!
Snug Attachment: Tushbaby’s Snug Attachment is your secret weapon for going hands-free at Disney. It’s designed to be used exclusively with your Tushbaby, combining the hands-free flexibility of babywearing with the storage and support of a hipseat. Carry them hands-free facing in or out, and go from hip seat to hands-free in a snap— just attach this beautiful soft wrap to your Tushbaby, place your baby on the seat, and wrap the straps over your shoulders to keep your little one close. It’s a great solution for keeping your hands free for snacks, taking photos, and engaging with your baby as they take in their surroundings.
Stroller Fan: Keep your baby cool during those sunny park days.
Reusable Water Bottle: Stay hydrated and refill your bottle at one of the park’s many water fountains to avoid waiting in long food&bev lines.
Tushbaby Portable Changing Pad: The bougiest changing pad their butts will touch for quick and easy diaper changes on the go. It’s sleek, stylish, and small enough to fold and fit in your pocket.
Baby Sunscreen: Protect your little one’s sensitive skin with a baby-friendly SPF.
Lightweight Blanket: Great for stroller naps or providing shade.
Wet/Dry Bag: For storing wet clothes or soiled diapers until you can throw these in the laundry or (for the diapers) a trash can.
Extra Pacifiers: Because you can never have too many, especially when one gets dropped mid-parade. Keep them clean and handy with The Pod by Tushbaby—this stylish little storage pouch clips right onto your carrier or bag, ensuring pacis are always clean and within reach.
Comfortable Walking Shoes: You’ll be on your feet all day—make sure you’re as comfortable as your baby and have the proper footwear.
Snacks and Formula: Bring enough to avoid unnecessary lines and keep your baby satisfied.
Mini First Aid Kit: For minor scrapes or bumps, having band-aids and antiseptic wipes handy is key.
The Pack by Tushbaby: If you’re a dad or mom on the go, this stylish and functional crossbody bag is brilliant for packing all the essentials, whether that’s baby gear or your own supplies. Sleek yet surprisingly spacious, you can wear it around your chest, back, or waist to keep everything safe when you’re on those thrilling Disney rides.
The Crossbody Strap by Tushbaby: When your Tushbaby’s not in use, fold it up and flaunt it like your favorite purse with a stylish crossbody strap. No need to stash it in a locker or cram it into a stroller.

Disney Fireworks Packing List

As the day winds down and the sun sets, you’ll want to be ready for the grand finale: the iconic Disney fireworks! If you think your little one’s ready to stay up and enjoy this night time display, here’s what to pack:

Noise-Canceling Baby Headphones: Protect your baby’s tiny ears from the loud booms of the fireworks display.
Light Jacket or Blanket: Infant Disney outfits and newborn Disney clothes are cute, but evenings at the park can get chilly. Be prepared with extra layers or a blanket to keep your little one warm.
