Diaper changing pad for on the road diaper changes

Good luck and have a fun drive!

Sounds like you're packing everything you need!

My rule of thumb for travel is to calculate one diaper per hour, then double the amount. I pack them into two "pods" both with wipes and diaper cream. For clothing, I also pack two extra travel outfits, I learned the hard way after DS had a leaky diaper on a recent flight. I only had one pair of pants and he spilled water on the pair he was wearing and peed through the change.

Being in the car is more difficult for us than air travel, because I can't/won't take the baby out of the seat while the car is moving, which I will do if the fasten seat belts sign is turned off. That means calculating extra time for stops, so I usually also double the suggested travel time and plan accordingly.

Best of luck!

Whoa! Real life connection: we are both 2 hours from Toronto! (I'm north of it).

I think your list looks great.

I don't pack much when I go out for just a day trip, so from your list I wouldn't pack:
-any bottle/feeding things....I would just breastfeed and take that into account for travel time that we might need to pull over, but generally I just feed the baby before we leave and it's all good for a 2 hour trip (unless I wanted a glass of wine...then I'd for sure bring a bottle of pumped just in case LO gets hungry before the 2 hour window is up).
-video monitor? that's just crazy imo!

But in addition I would pack:
-extra nursing pads (I'm a leaker, but maybe you're not)
-change of clothes for me (you never know!)
-more extra clothes for baby (they are just tiny anyways!)
-wrap carrier
-sun cover for carrier (or whatever you need to provide baby with sun protection......oh, definitely sun hat)
-mosquito net cover for carrier (are there bugs in toronto? it's bug season 2 hours north for sure!)
-sweater and hat for baby in case it is windy/randomly cold....the weather is really swingy these days

Have a great trip! We're doing an overnight trip this weekend so I am totally with you on the packing-thinking.

Oh, and you probably know this, and it sounds like you are going with DH, but for the future if you are ever going to cross the border with LO without DH you need some kind of letter saying that DH gives you permission to do this.....I think you need a lawyer to oversee this....I've never done it, but I've seen my aunt hand over letters like that at the border).
