Travel Guides by Your Baby's Age
Every age is different. Newborns are remarkably portable but come with a long list of gear. Six-month-olds have nailed a routine but haven't discovered opinions yet. Eighteen-month-olds are brilliant fun and absolutely exhausting.
Each guide below covers what travel looks like at that specific stage — what's genuinely easier than you expect, what's harder, what to pack, and what gear actually helps.
Travelling With a Newborn
Newborns sleep most of the time and don't know where they are — which makes them more portable than you'd think. The challenge is the kit, the feeding schedule, and your own recovery.
Newborn Travel Guide →Travelling With a 3-Month-Old
A little more interactive, more predictable on feeds, but still needing full lie-flat sleep. The nap routine is becoming clearer, which helps with planning days out.
3-Month-Old Travel Guide →Travelling With a 6-Month-Old
Starting solids, sitting up, and genuinely curious about everything — 6 months is often cited as the sweet spot. Two naps are manageable, and a forward-facing seat opens up.
6-Month-Old Travel Guide →Travelling With a 9-Month-Old
Mobile and curious — crawling or cruising, which means baby-proofing holiday accommodation becomes a real consideration. Still two naps, but the end of the second is in sight.
9-Month-Old Travel Guide →Holiday With a 1-Year-Old
One nap (usually), increasingly independent, and genuinely fun at the beach. The transition to one nap can be tricky to time on holiday, but the activity range opens up significantly.
1-Year-Old Travel Guide →Travelling With an 18-Month-Old
Walking, sometimes running, and starting to have very strong opinions. Brilliant fun if you pitch the day right — plan for meltdowns if you don't.
18-Month-Old Travel Guide →Holiday With a 2-Year-Old
The age where holidays start to feel like actual holidays again — they can do things, they remember things, and they're old enough to be genuinely excited. Also still napping, usually.
