Essential Travel Gear for New Parents

Traveling with a young baby has its challenges, but the right gear can make the trip a little smoother. For nights away from home, try the BabyBjörn Travel Crib Light 2, $300.

The lightweight crib (just 11 pounds!) offers a safe place for your baby to rest, including an insulated mattress with breathable, waterproof cover and an optional organic cotton sheet ($40). To stow, the legs fold diagonally into the frame and the whole thing tucks neatly into its bag.
