Travelling with a baby: everything you need for a stress-free journey
Travelling with a baby can seem like a real challenge. Between luggage, irregular sleep and unexpected situations, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. However, with good preparation, the right equipment and a few practical tips, travelling with a baby can become a pleasant and memorable experience for the whole family. In this article, we guide you step by step to prepare your trips and introduce the Piko Ultra Compact stroller, ideal for travelling.
Preparing the trip with your baby
Choosing the right time to travel
The departure time greatly affects your baby’s comfort. It is recommended to leave during nap time or after a meal to avoid crying caused by hunger or tiredness.
Planning regular breaks
Plan stops every 1.5 to 2 hours to feed and change your baby. This reduces stress and prevents restlessness.
Organising the changing bag
A well-organised changing bag is essential. It should include nappies, wipes, bottles, spare clothes, a basic first aid kit and a few stimulating toys.
Choosing the right equipment

The right car seat
A car seat suitable for your baby’s age and weight is essential. Make sure it complies with European safety standards. Rotating models make installation easier.
Practical accessories
For a successful trip, a few accessories can make all the difference: bottle holder, blanket, stimulating toys and sun or rain protection depending on the weather.
Safety and comfort during the journey
Installing your baby correctly
Always secure your baby using the harness of the car seat or stroller and regularly check that the straps are properly adjusted.
Comfort and temperature
Dress your baby according to the weather and bring a hat or cap to protect them from the sun. Blankets are useful on air-conditioned trains or planes.
Managing feeding
Prepare bottles in advance and bring suitable snacks if your baby has started eating solid food. Keep your baby well hydrated, especially in summer.
Travelling by car, train or plane
By car
Install the car seat preferably in the rear centre seat. Plan regular breaks and use the Piko Ultra Compact stroller when walking during stops.
