24 Essentials For Traveling With a Toddler, From a Mom Who's Done It

Ergobaby Carrier ($170)

With more than 4,700 reviews on Amazon, the Ergobaby Omni supports newborns to toddlers, 7-45 pounds. If your child is under 2 and you've opted to not purchase them a seat on the plane, this carrier will help your little one stay cozy while sitting with you. I used this carrier while traveling solo cross-country and loved that it had a pouch where I could fit a diaper and a few wipes, making it feel like a wearable diaper bag.
