Musim2 raya dah dekat ni, kene wat persiapan untuk travel bersama si kenit. Just want to share packing checklist provided by
Babycenter before we go for travel…Tak nak nnt ada bende2 yang tertinggal…
Diapers / Nappies
Bring extras in case of emergencies or delays. (Pada saya ok jer klu bawak stock yg secukupnya sepanjang travel utk optimumkan luggage klu setakat balik kampong. Klu x ckp boley cari kat local supermarket. Tapi klu pergi tempat yang alien pada kite, better bawak lebey…especially klu pegi oversea..mungkin price kat sana lebey mahal daripada biasa!!)
Blanket / SelimutBring at least one for comfort, shade and warmth. (Antara stuff yang sgt penting..takut baby sejuk and x comfortable)
Resealable plastic bagsPack some medium ones for stashing dirty nappies, clothes and bibs. (Spare 1 maybe dah cukup).
Baby wipes / Tissues
Bawak yang small size for for travel purpose.
Toddler bath wash and shampoo
Juga sila bawak travelling kit….agak bulky and space consume to our luggage klu nk bawak botol2 yg besar itu…especially klu nk naik flight…sgt x digalakkan!!
Toys and booksYour child's favorites, plus several new toys for surprises along the way. Bring sturdy toys that don't have easy-to-lose parts. (Sgt penting juga…untuk bagi toddlers engage dengan sesuatu yg dia suke..klu x memang kita payah nak handle..Klu yg ni xde, may be bley guna video2 / apps dlm iPhone untuk distract diorng)
ClothesOne to two outfits per day. Denim and dark colours are good for hiding dirt and stains. Prepare for all weathers by dressing your child in layers. (Ini mmg laa perlu..Klu plan nk pergi bercuti time winter, make sure ada baju salin extra and sweater yg tebal secukupnye. Ari tu time pegi Melbourne pon jenuh lapis2kan baju Chempaka supaya dia x sejuk..tapi disebabkan dia dah start muntah, stock baju mmg laa agak critical…so, klu x ckp jugak, terpaksa laa sopping di sana yer..!!)
Swimming costume
Lightweight and easy to pack, you never know when it will come in handy. (Bley jugak bawak sbb mana tau time2 raya ni, nak pegi mandi manda plak dengan sepupu sepapat yang ada..)
Bibs, bowls, forks and spoons
Penting…!! Klu balik kampong xpe kot x bawak, tapi klu pegi travel bercuti, jgn laa tinggal..susah nk feed baby nnt..tapi ari tu time bercuti ke Melbourne, sy hanya bawak spoon & small container..senang sbb ada tutup..bila travel, susah nk cari tempat nk basuh2..so pakai container sng, tutup jer, simpan dulu..nnt dah smp hotel / accommodation, baru basuh..
Sun hat and sun screen (with sun protection factor of 20 or more)
Hmm..pada saya topi mmg penting..klu pegi mana2 mmg jarang tinggal topi..biasa pegi tempat terdedah, cuaca x menentu..so hat will be handy..!!
Beakers and bottles
Encourage your toddler to drink plenty of liquids to avoid dehydration, especially when flying or in hot weather (Biasenye nk minimumkn luggage just bawak botol susu jer, tapi klu vroom vroom naik kete, mmg angkut jer dalam bakul susu chempaka)
Snacks
Try breadsticks, rice biscuits, fruit (dried or fresh), cereal bars and packets of dry cereal. Bring more than you think you'll need, as snacks can distract a grouchy toddler. Plus, you may have travel delays (Sgt penting!! Slalu standby biscuits…..Masa dalam flight pon better standby..salah 1 cara nk distract baby and kadang2 alas perut before dia dapat makan proper meal..)
Nightlight
For nighttime nappy changes (X perlu..huhu)
Socket protectors and other safety equipment
For toddler-proofing your room or apartment (X perlu jugee..huhu)
Travel cot / Tilam
Not all accommodation supplies cots. You'll probably need to take cot sheets, too. (Biasanye klu untuk travel pakai kereta ni, mmg saya akan angkut tilam chempaka..tapi yg for travelling size, bley lipat2..sbb nnt klu pegi kat rumah yg kita x biasa, x tau ape nk expect…ada tilam untuk dia so, mmg dah x risau..klu pergi beraya rumah sedara mara pon dah x risau and x yah susahkan diorng nak kluarkan tilam bagai)
Car seat for travel by car, plane, train, or bus
It can double as a toddler seat, too. (Recommended…)
Collapsible pushchair
Lightweight, convenient, and can be stored in the overhead lockers on a plane. (Perlu..!! Senang nk g jalan mana2 nanti…baby pon xdelaa restless sgt..ada tempat dia nk tido and rehat..klu pegi bercuti, ingat bawak raincover sekali..takut cuaca x menentu..at least kita dah prepare..)
Packing Tips
· Start preparing to pack a few weeks before you travel. Keep an ongoing list of items to bring, or put items to one side as you think of them
· Use a baby bag with a waterproof lining and a shoulder strap
· Pack an extra shirt or top for yourself in your hand luggage
· Prevent leaks by packing medicines and toiletries in re-sealable plastic bags
· Bring a square of plastic or a nappy changing mat for nappy changes
· Keep an energy-boosting snack handy for yourself
· Bring your camera and plenty of film/digital memory cards
· Bring a clip-on reading light so you can read without disturbing your bab
