Resources

If you’re planning a trip with a child, here are some additional resources on family travel.

Family/baby travel blogs
There are a million family travel blogs out there, but these are some favorites with a focus on international (and US too) travel. Most of these sites include city guides, gear reviews, and travel tips.

Places to stay, guidebooks, and other necessities 
While part of the beauty of traveling with a young baby is that you don’t *need* to go to specifically kid-friendly places or do children’s activities, it never hurts to have options! There are hundreds of gear rental companies around the world, too many to list here, but some are listed on these sites. Finally, I don’t list any baby supplies websites as I don’t think they are necessary; diapers, baby food, and other products exist around the world and part of the fun of travel is trying local stuff!

AirBnB apartment rentals worldwide
Baby Goes 2 accommodation and destination guides
