Travelling can be a hassle and often even more so if you’re bringing kids. The checklists, planning, packing, and preparing – and by the time you reach your destination, there’s only one thing you can think about: taking a nap.
We’re the Lee family (you might know us from @artsfoodfamily), with Mum Dayna, Dad Brian and Baby Ezra. Join us while we escape the summer heat in the Big Apple and share our top tips for travelling with a baby. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Leaving Home
)
It’s holiday time! We set off this morning with all our luggage and baby travel essentials, ready for the trip. We never leave home without our baby carrier, travel cot and baby bouncer, as they’re must-haves for us whenever we’re on the go. The travel cot is easy to carry and comes with a transport bag, which is perfect for little getaways. Our best tip is to also buy a bag for the bouncer – trust us, it's a game-changer for travelling!

Catching a Taxi
)
Like true New Yorkers, we went out to catch a taxi. Ezra was happily chilling in his baby carrier while we loaded everything in. Once inside the taxi, we realised we had to make a teeny-tiny detour before we could leave for Grand Central.
Last-Minute Errands
)
No matter how much you plan, you always seem to forget something, right? We had to run some last-minute errands before heading to Grand Central, but luckily, we still made it in time.
Finding our Platform
)
Grand Central is the world’s largest train station and it can get quite crowded. Our baby carrier was such a lifesaver here – it would’ve been a struggle to keep track of our luggage, check the tickets and all that jazz without it. Ezra did so well the whole time in his baby carrier, which made Mum and Dad very happy.
Boarding the Train
)
Yes, we made it to the train! We quickly found our seats and stowed our things on the luggage rack before settling in and letting out a big sigh of relief. Travelling with a baby can get stressful, and we were happy that things went as smoothly as they did.
Leaving New York
)
This is as far as you can come along on this trip, but we hope you liked following us around New York’s gorgeous and iconic scenery. Feel free to follow us @artsfoodfamily on Instagram if you want to join us for more fun adventures!
