Out and About Checklist

While out and about with your baby, most of the time it will go smoothly, but it is always wise to be prepared for the worst.
I have conducted a checklist of things to take with you when out and about with your baby, some of which can be kept in the boot of your car so you always have them with you.

Baby will need...

• Car seat
• Head support cushion
• Window shades
• Pram/Stroller with protective cover
• Sling or pouch
• Well-stocked nappy bag

• Damp wash cloths for cleaning up
• Change of clothes for baby
• Bibs
• Baby's blanket
• Baby UV suncream
• Sunhat with brim

• Formula and bottles (if formula feeding)
• Non-messy foods, things like dried fruit are ideal
