Baby Camping Gear - What do You Need?

If you have kids like me, you already know that traveling with your babies requires a certain level of organization. There are necessities that you need like a well stocked diaper bag and some other emergency items. And in some cases it is even a good idea to stock some of those items in frequently traveled places like the grand parents and other relatives houses.

So if you are planning to go on a camping trip with your baby, the situation remains the same, you will need special baby camping gear to accommodate your babys needs and yours. Some items you will need in your baby camping gear are:

- Portable crib
- Baby carrier (Front or back)
- Appropriate clothing according to the temperature
- Rain protection
- Sun screen
- Insect repellent
- And a very well stocked diaper bag

Small tips for you Diaper Bag

Here is a small resume of how you should pack your diaper bag. The diaper bag should have at least enough diapers for a full day (plus extra diapers in mom or dads bag), a good changing pad, at least one change of clothes, you should also include around two to three zip-top storage bags, a few toys and do not forget to add some snack (depending if you child is eating solid or not). Another important item would be to add a full refill of swipes (very useful to clean the baby if you are not near water), and other items like pacifiers, bottle etc..)
