You must bring this with you when you go away for a day with your toddler

Transport

Where you still have to carry the pram or buggy with small children, chances are that you can leave it at home once your child is a toddler. Does he get tired quickly and does he still like to be carried? Don’t forget, if you have one, to throw your toddler carrier in the car.

Checklist:

Grooming

Diapers are probably a thing of the past, but it is wise to put a set of wipes and a large towel in your bag. Don’t forget a set of extra clothes for your child.

Is his face completely covered after eating an ice cream or are his nails black from playing? A pack of snout polishers in your bag is indispensable. Just like a small first aid kit including plasters and children’s paracetamol.

Nutrition

A cookie, rice cake, currant bun or sandwich: make sure you have a supply of food that your child likes. Don’t forget plastic or cardboard cups. You can easily take water, tea or a cool drink with you in a thermos.

Checklist:

  • Rice cake, bread or another snack
  • Drinking cups
  • Thermos with drink

Other

Is your child devoted to his stuffed animal? Then take it with you to the zoo or the beach, so that he has something familiar with him when he no longer feels like it. Weighs next to nothing and it will probably save you a lot of whining.

Also don’t forget some toys that your child can enjoy in the car and accessories such as sunglasses, depending on the season.
Does your child think it is cool to carry some things themselves? Take advantage of that and put some light items in his own backpack.

Last but not least, a wristband or name necklace is very useful. If your child is unexpectedly lost, he can easily be found with that information.
