*first of all, one of the most amazing things about children is that the smaller they are, the more stuff you seem to have to carry! So, newborns will likely require more than a one year old, and by 18 months you should not need to take the majority of this stuff on a trip. By two years old, all you really need is their clothes, a bib, and some sippy cups! (Oh, but don't forget the diapers and wipes for most toddlers, often they aren't going to be potty trained for several months or more)
So, hopefully some of you find this list helpful. I always pull it out when I am going somewhere and check things off to make sure I've remembered everything. It can get extremely difficult to not forget something without a list when there is so much to remember with babies!
