Tushbaby can make it easier to tour Gatlinburg with a baby

As you head out to explore the Smoky Mountains and Gatlinburg, you’ll want to plan ahead with our Tushbaby essentials that are as functional as they are fashionable. Here are some products that can make your trip to Gatlinburg with a baby easier.

#1. The Tushbaby

Gatlinburg is a place of exploration, so expect to be on the go. From hitting the theme parks to visiting the Smoky Mountains, babywearing can make adventuring with a baby more manageable and comfortable. When you’re being active with a baby, you want a baby carrier that’s easy to pick them up and put them down, and even easier to take on and off. Our Tushbaby Hip Carrier does just that: with an open-style design and quick velcro-and-buckle to fasten, it’s like a supportive fanny pack with a plush seat for your baby.

With five storage pockets and four carrying positions, including a feeding position, Tushbaby is ideal for traveling and exploring. To babywear with the Tushbaby carrier, simply place your baby safely on the seat and support them with a free arm. Our carrier doesn’t have complicated wraps or straps, so when your baby wants off, just take ‘em off! You can keep the carrier on for those quick up and downs, or fold it and flaunt it by your side like your favorite purse with our Crossbody Straps.

If you prefer to babywear hands-free, you can pair The Snug with your Tushbaby. The Snug wraps and buckles over each shoulder to hold your baby even closer, and folds up to fit in Tushbaby’s seat pocket when not in use.

#2. Totebaby

Choosing the best diaper bag can be overwhelming, and you’ll likely want something stylish that prioritizes practicality. Our Totebaby diaper bag is the perfect blend of function and fashion, coming stocked with removable baby tote features like an organizer, changing pad, and a divider pocket to store a Tushbaby when it’s not in use. When Totebaby’s not being used for your baby’s essentials, it pulls double duty as a yoga bag, gym bag, or sustainable grocery bag. Made from easy-to-clean buttery vegan leather, it’s the perfect diaper bag for traveling.

#3. The Pod

The Pod is a multi-use zipper pouch that can clip onto your Tushbaby, purse, diaper bag, stroller, or just about anything. It’s the perfect place to keep a clean pacifier for quick access or storing earbuds, credit cards, and lipstick.
