You can just call the kids and I The Great Traveling Circus.  We’ve had a trip a month for this entire year.  Not that I’m complaining, I love traveling with my babies.  I’ve learned the importance of consolidating, and anything that keeps my hands free is a major plus.  Which is why I’ve teamed up with Baggalini to show you exactly what you need in your backpack when on a day out with kids.

Our last couple of trips have had a lot of outdoor time.  So here’s what I pack to make sure you’re set your day out with kids: 

  • At least 3 diapers and a pack of wipes 
  • 2 changes of clothes, one for each kid 
  • Hand sanitizer 
  • Snacks- I normally do a protein bar for me, 2 packs of gummies, 2 bars, and 2 apples or other fruit for the kids. 
  • Water bottle big enough for the whole family 
  • Sunscreen- ALWAYS important no matter the weather. 
  • Small trash bag 
  • A blanket 
  • Small foldable umbrella

This is a fool-proof list to get you through almost ANY da out with kidsy.  I absolutely love this Baggalini backpack from Zappos as it carried all of this for me and allowed me the use of both arms.  I love a great backpack!  The particular backpack I got is water resistant and weather proof.  With kids, there’s nothing better. 

I, of course, love ordering through Zappos.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- ordering through Zappos makes my life so easy.  They have SO many options and I receive my order in two days.  If for some reason it’s not what I wanted, it is so easy to do returns with them!!

  1. Such great tips for parents with young ones! Managing kids when out and about can be tough! I can’t wait to pass this on to some friends of mine!

  2. Moms amaze me. You always think of everything for your kids and husbands without much thought to yourself. You rock!!

  3. I can relate to this. I t is important to have a check list of things so that trips can be done with a minimum hitches

  4. Another thing to add to that list is a little first aid kit. Kids are always bruising and scraping themselves, a band-aid or two wouldn’t hurt.

  5. Great list! I also kept a change of shirt for me in the diaper bag or vehicle as well. There were enough times that I was the one on the receiving end of some of the kid’s messes, so it came in handy!

    This is a good list. I personally cannot leave the house without wipes. I have a preschooler and a toddler so you can see why, haha. Also, I have to be better putting sunscreen on them, no matter the weather. Thanks for the reminder. 🙂

  7. I am a huge list person! This is such a great list that will surely come in handy.

  8. This list reminds me of all the times I took my daughter to disneyland when she was young. Of course these things were the stuff her mother focused on more. I was more focused on the food and making sure we had lunches that everyone could eat prepared.

  9. Taking the kids anywhere means preparing a lot of stuff so you won’t have any issues. It’s really important to pack snacks and drinks all the time! This is a good list!
