What will you need for these activities?

Let’s review things to do and what you might need for these activities to help you start planning your next trip to Sedona with a baby.

Fun Things To Do With a Baby in Sedona

Verde Canyon Railroad

Take the train through the Verde Canyon Railroad to enjoy a rare and exclusive view of a red-rock canyon. This four-hour excursion is ideal for the whole family; with a luxurious train cabin and friendly staff, you can enjoy the views, sounds, and scenery with your baby.

Babywearing with the Tushbaby Carrier for this outing (and so many others) can simplify the way you travel. Tushbaby is a hip seat carrier that wraps high and tight above the waist with a plush hip seat for baby to sit or rest. With its open-style design and four versatile carrying positions, it’s easy to change how you carry them as you support them with one arm. Tushbaby can be worn seated or standing, and even offers a feeding position for quick transitions to breast or bottle feeding on the go. It also promotes bonding time with your baby, since the built-in back support allows you to carry them longer and interact with them at your level. For a 4-hour excursion like Verde Canyon Railroad, you’ll want a versatile and multifunctional carrier like the Tushbaby.

Take a day trip to the Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is a bucket list item for many. As one of the finest examples of arid land erosion in the world, the Grand Canyon offers breathtaking views and humbling history. This major tourist attraction calls for its own day on many travel agendas.

When you think about visiting the Grand Canyon with a baby, you might have some concerns. Rest assured that this national park is designed to be as safe as possible, but there are still some things to be mindful of.

First, plan to be outside most of the day. Bring your Totebaby diaper bag and fill it with water, snacks, diapers, toys, hats, sunscreen, and anything else you might need. The Totebaby is lightweight and durable, with removable baby tote features—like an organizer, Changing Pad, and divider pocket— that make it easy to retrieve your necessities.

Next, expect a nap to occur at some point since the Grand Canyon is usually an all-day event. Rather than stopping for naptime or having to support a sleeping baby with one arm, pair The Snug attachment with your Tushbaby Carrier for your Grand Canyon adventure. This 2-in-1 convertible carrier combo helps carry children 12-45lbs hands-free, with the added support and storage of our Tushbaby Hip Seat Carrier. The Snug attaches to the base of Tushbaby, wraps over the shoulders to form an X across your back, and buckles to keep your baby close. When not in use, The Snug can be stored in the storage pocket under the seat of the Tushbaby.

Sedona Historical Society and Heritage Museum

Sedona is full of unique history, some of which you can uncover at the Sedona Historical Society and Heritage Museum. Prepare for a relaxing day full of Sedona stories, history, and plenty of walking. Sedona’s weather is mild and pleasant year-round, and the city has a casual atmosphere that usually doesn't require anything fancier than active, breathable clothing. Our crossbody belt bag, The Pack, will be perfect for stashing your stuff; it can be worn across your chest, back, or around your waist, and comes in a variety of luxury fabrics ranging from vegan leather to velvet.

Bringing the Tushbaby carrier along is another smart move, since your little one may want “up” and “down!” often as they check out the exhibits. When your Tushbaby is not in use, pair it with one of our stylish Crossbody Straps and wear it over your shoulder like your favorite purse. As a parent, it’s important to always be prepared, and Tushbaby helps you do just that.

Blazin’ M Ranch

Food and entertainment: two things we love. Enjoy a mouthwatering dinner followed by dimmed lights and a show. With a baby in tow, Tushbaby can help simplify the outing. Our well-loved hip seat carrier is worn high and tight above the waist, and evenly distributes baby’s weight across your torso while your baby rests on the memory foam-lined seat. The open design makes it easy to wear seated or standing, transition between carry positions, or go hands-free when you want. Sit your baby forward facing for a front-row seat to the show, or rest them in the feeding position for breast or bottle-feeding support. With five storage pockets, you can stash your things, too, so you have everything you need to keep your baby and other Blazin’ M Ranch visitors happy.

Take on your next adventure with a baby like a pro with Tushbaby. All of our products are designed to make life with a baby more comfortable and streamline the baggage that comes with leaving the house with a baby. Weather can fluctuate throughout the year, but Tushbaby’s design is ideal for rain or shine. With its open design, you can dress your baby as lightly or warmly as needed, with ample storage for extra layers. If Mom or Dad is wearing extra layers, the padded waistband can be quickly adjusted up or down on the go. Whether you’re running errands, working around the house to get chores done with your baby, or enjoying a family vacation, Tushbaby is there for all occasions.
