Crybaby Toys on the Go: How to Pack and Use Them for Travel Without the Mess

There is nothing quite like the experience of traveling with children. Kids, especially the younger ones, tend to come with so much ‘baggage’, and by this, we mean the numerous items they require for the journey, like snacks, clothing, entertainment, and other necessities. Toys, especially the Crybaby toys, are important to kids, and having to leave it behind can lead to a tantrum. But with a little forethought and planning, it is possible to travel with Crybaby toys without creating a mess. This guide details the best practices for traveling with kids without losing your mind.
Start With a Travel-Ready Play Kit
Any seasoned traveler understands the importance of keeping travel items in one place, and this also the most effective way to prevent children’s toys and accessories from messing up the travel bags. Find a small zippered pouch or a clear cosmetic bag, something kids can open on their own and are also small enough to prevent the carry-ones from getting overly packed. As for the contents of the bag, you can add, for example, a pack of fun, simple to use kids scissors so they can cut things to infinity and beyond, and some simple 25- piece or even 12-piece jigsaw puzzles from Little Widgets. This way they can construct to their heart’s content. you can also add other small toys like little miniature cars or even some XD balls.
Keeping the accessories limited to just a few is a tip. It helps prevent overflow of toys to other bags and helps your kids to focus on their single toys. It can also be a good idea to label the bags so that they can be easily differentiated and quickly be pulled out from packed bags.

Look for Small Crybaby Toys

If your child has multiple Crybabies, involve them in choosing the one they would like to take, since they may want to take a specific one. Light-weight and mini Crybaby toys are the best option since they are easier to pack, make less noise, and have less parts. Including your child in this process eliminates any chances of them causing a scene right before you leave.

Use the Crybaby for More than Entertainment

These toys are perfect for spending time during a long flight or a long road trip, but also during transitions. They are perfect for keeping your child regulated during waiting times at security or at the boarding gate, and keep them calm during moments that require self restraint or when they’re in an unpredictable environment.

Create Positive “Travel Rules” Before Leaving

Before you leave home, make a simple list of rules parents and kids have to follow, like keeping the Crybaby in your seat during the car rides, or for the accessories to stay in the bag. Making this list in a positive and collaborative tone promotes responsibility and avoids a feeling of restriction.

Create a Mini Play Routine Anywhere

In cramped quarters, like on a plane or in a hotel room, you can carry out a brief directed activity with the Child where they “go along” with the Crybaby, looking after, calming it, or recounting a mini story about the trip they are on. These routines are small enough that they eliminate the problem of having utensils out, while containing the activity enough that it doesn’t spill over into out of control chaos.

It just not takes a little bit of planning for the Crybaby toys to be a friend and and not a foe while traveling. A little simple, and smart, packing goes a long way to having the toy actually assist you in the travel, and not just taking up space.
