Buy a diaper bag
The Snoozzz diaper bag is stylish and functional, made of supple vegan leather. The diaper bag comes with a removable organizer. This has a practical layout and plenty of storage options: a thermal compartment, two lockable pockets, various slip pockets, and a special spot for your phone.

Good bag for the flight
An extra passenger to bring along also means extra luggage. Because a baby under 2 years old does not yet get their own airplane seat, unless you book one, you are not allowed to bring extra luggage for him or her. Hand luggage up to 10 kg is often not a problem, as long as it consists of care items for the baby.
Pack your bag carefully so that you can easily access everything you might need. Diapers are, of course, indispensable. Extra clothing for your baby and for yourself, in case the little one spits up, should also not be missing. Some new toys are always a good idea too. Baby food is generally not a problem when traveling with a baby. Always check with your airline about this. Snoozzz diaper bag is an ideal travel bag! The detachable organizer with 8 different compartments, from a thermal pocket to a zippered pocket, a key lanyard, and of course a changing mat make this diaper bag completely complete.
Buggy
You can usually take a lightweight buggy weighing up to 10 kg all the way to the plane. You must leave a pram at the check-in counter. In that case, bring a handy baby carrier.
Clearing your baby's ears
You may experience ear discomfort during takeoff and landing. Your baby may too. Make sure you have a bottle of milk, breast milk, or something to eat ready at that moment. Chewing reduces the pressure in your ears. A pacifier also helps. You can ask the flight attendant for hot water to prepare the bottle if needed. Please let them know in advance.
Bassinet
With some airlines, it is possible to book a bassinet or crib (for free). This is a type of basket that is hung on the wall in front of you and where your baby can sleep. This way, you have your hands free for a while. Because the air conditioning on the plane is often on full blast, it is nice to have an extra blanket or bath cape to bring along. Is there no bassinet available anymore? There are also all kinds of other handy aids available, such as an inflatable mattress for the plane.
Food and drinks during the flight
Your child will not receive food on the plane because you haven't paid for a seat for him. And even if you do get something, it is often not exactly what your child likes. So bring plenty of food with you. Because the air on the plane is drier, it is also important to drink enough. And ensure there is sufficient burp cloths, You can never have enough of these!
If your flight is delayed, it is good to know that there is a special Babycare Lounge at Schiphol where you can change your baby's diaper, give them a bath, and put them to bed.
Don't plan the first few days at your new destination too full to allow your baby to get used to the new place, the temperature, and any potential jet lag. And don't forget the Snoozzz Sleep Wrap Travel to bring along! This way, your baby can also sleep in a single bed, in case the travel cot isn't very fresh anymore. And above all, try not to stress too much; your baby will pick this up immediately.As long as you don't stress out and start the holiday in good spirits, your little one will surely do the same. Have fun!
