    Best Lightweight Travel Stroller | Évolur Voyager Review

    Looking for the best lightweight travel stroller for your traveling toddler? When my husband and I first became parents, we knew we wanted to invest in some items that would make traveling with our baby easier.

    Best Backpack for Traveling with Toddlers

    Are you a traveling parent who is on the hunt for the best backpack for traveling with your toddlers? I’m so excited to tell you all about our family’s new favorite travel backpack- the NOMATIC Travel Pack! Our daughter is (almost) 2 years old and is constantly on the move. My husband and I have always preferred to wear backpacks (versus other bag styles) to haul our stuff around, because it is necessary to keep our hands free when we are out-and-about with our daughter. Backpacks are typically easier on our bodies too, as it is more comfortable to disperse the bag weight evenly across our backs, rather than lugging…
