Including Packing Tips and Eco-Friendly Product Guide
As the travel boom of 2025 continues to heat up, many Hong Kong families are taking the opportunity to go on trips with their little ones during holidays. Whether it’s a short staycation or a long-haul overseas journey, preparing the necessary baby and toddler essentials is often the most challenging part of the trip. For young children, every detail—from skin care, clothing changes, feeding schedules to sleep arrangements—directly impacts their comfort and safety.
Serendipity House has carefully compiled an eco-conscious Baby & Toddler Travel Essentials Checklist that covers everything from hygiene and bathing, packing and outfit prep, to feeding plans. We also include practical packing tips and sustainable living advice to help you travel with ease and peace of mind.
Hygiene on the Go | Hypoallergenic Formulas to Protect Skin and the Environment
Baby and toddler skin barriers are not fully developed, so exposure to unfamiliar environments may lead to redness, dryness, or irritation from dust, sweat, or allergens. Choosing gentle, fragrance-free, and alcohol-free cleansing products helps reduce irritation risk while avoiding extra environmental impact.
Recommended to bring:
-
Plant-based wet wipes
Attitude Living Oatmeal sensitive natural baby care - Wipes
Made from natural plant fibers and colloidal oatmeal, EWG green-certified, soothes skin without fragrance or alcohol, perfect for frequent use during outings.
-
Baby hand sanitizer gel
-
Soft cotton handkerchiefs / clean gauze
-
Reusable silicone storage bags to replace disposable plastic bags
Eco tip:
When traveling, prioritize washable, reusable, or biodegradable storage options. If you must bring trash bags, consider Seventh Generation Tall Kitchen Trash Bags, made from recycled plastic for both eco-friendliness and practicality.
Bathing & Skin Care | Maintain Skin Stability, Minimize Sensitivity
Different water qualities and climates may challenge baby skin; sudden changes in skincare products can cause allergic reactions. It’s best to bring your child’s regular, familiar bathing products pre-packed in travel-sized bottles.
Recommended to bring:
-
2-in-1 shampoo and body wash

Eco tip:
Choose products with eco-certifications, recyclable packaging, or refill options to reduce waste and practice green living.
Clothing & Personal Items | Pack According to Needs and Weather Changes
Babies need frequent outfit changes during travel. Prepare clothes based on trip length and planned activities, considering climate differences. Categorized packing improves organization.
Recommended to bring:
-
At least two sets of spare clothes per day
-
Lightweight jackets, hats, sun sleeves
-
Waterproof bibs, reusable drool pads

Feeding & Mealtime Supplies | Maintain Feeding Routine, Reduce Travel Stress
Babies rely heavily on consistent feeding routines. Travel environments can disrupt eating habits, causing fussiness or refusal. Use familiar bottles, utensils, and food storage methods as much as possible to maintain comfort and safety.
Recommended to bring:
-
Bottles, formula containers

Insulated water bottles / leak-proof cups

Food containers / silicone lunch bags / reusable snack bags

Planning & Packing Tips | Master Each Step Calmly
Plan luggage according to your child's daily routine. Use the "One Day Simulation Method" to list needed items, organize by use and frequency, making access easy and minimizing forgetting essentials.
Practical advice:
-
Pack by category, e.g., “Cleaning Supplies,” “Feeding Supplies,” “Sleep Essentials” in separate bags
-
Use transparent bags / labeled containers for easy recognition
-
Consider airline luggage weight limits
-
Reserve space for souvenirs or items purchased during the trip
Before departure:
Start checking and packing in stages one week ahead. Involve your child in simple packing choices to increase their engagement and adaptability.
