Can you share your list of things to bring on vacation for your family with a toddler and infant? Our computer crashed and my list is gone, and thought other moms could help me build that helpful list, thanks!!!

What can I do next?

answers from Buffalo on

this is ours from our recent vaca:
(fyi - my twins are 7 months old)

Diapers and all that goes along with them (we use cloth so there's a lot)
Wipes
Diaper Cream
Bottles & Formula
Bottle Brush & Dish detergent
Cereal and other babyfoods
Bowls & spoons
Bibs & Burp cloths
The meds my daughter is on
First Aid kit - check for expirations and fullness of bottles before you go!
Sunscreen & Bug Spray
Few outfits per day for each child
Whatever they sleep in
Socks, Pants & Fleece jacket (if the other clothes are all warm weather clothes)
Plastic Bags for dirty things / garbage
Swim Diapers & Swim Suits
Sun hats
Swim & Bath Towels
Shampoo/Wash
Pack-N-Play & Netting
Monitor
Toys & Books
Blankets (& an old comforter - we used it to lay out on the floor so babies didn't spit up on the carpet in the nice cabin!)

And that's just for them!
The babies had one diaper bag, one food bag, one clothes bag, one toys bag and a pack-n-play! my husband and i shared a suitcase for clothes, toiletries and phone chargers, etc... and my 11yr old step-daughter had 3 bags - clothes, toiletries and fun-stuff (books, mp3 player, games, etc). Then a pair of sneakers, sandles and watershoes for each of us.
Funny how kids require so much STUFF :)
Have a fun vacation!

In addition to Marys list:

bottle brush
small bottle of dish detergent
book and toys for travel
socks
shoes
pull ups
hair accessories (if you have a girl)
an outfit for every day and a few extra just in case
tylenol or advil
orajel or Hyland's teething tablets

Instead of paying extra for a crib, we always take a playpen with sheets, blanket and toddler sized pillow (do not use pillows for children under a year of age). We also get a room with 2 queens so my boys can share a bed. When my daughter is too big for the playpen we will have to ask for a fold away bed.

If you are swimming on vacation, don't forget swim suits and swim diapers (if needed), sunscreen and beach towels. I also pack one extra pair of shoes per person, so everyone has 2 pairs. Don't forget your own toiletries and clothes. Have fun!
