two backpacks and a diaper bag

Two backpacks, a diaper bag, a purse, stroller, and car seat. These are the things that we will be lugging around in our adventure.

We try to pack as light as possible, but even the jackets take up so much space. Also, we will be in Portugal at the end of May while we will be in Iceland in the beginning of March, so we’ll definitely need to think about the different seasons. There are going to be lots of layering!

Inside the two large backpacks for Arthur:

• 7 long-sleeve bodysuit
• 3 short-sleeve bodysuit
• 5 hats, 5 mittens, 5 socks

• 1 knitted hat, booties, mittens
• 1 fleece suit
• 1 down snowsuit
• 1 merino bodysuit
• 1 merino leggings

On the plane, Arthur will be wearing a long-sleeve hoodie bodysuit, pants, socks, and mittens. I also have a sleepsack micro-fleece swaddle, a blanket, and a fleece jacket for him on the plane, along with his favorite giraffe toy.

• 1 pair of jeans, shorts, and leggings
• 3 shirts (2 long sleeve, 1 short sleeve)
• 1 snow pants and down jacket
• 1 knitted hat and scarf
• 1 pair of gloves
• 1 pair of sandals
• 1 pair of flats

I’ll be wearing a nursing tank top, button-up cashmere sweater, leggings, hiking pants, infinity nursing scarf, light knitted hat, and winter boots on the plane

For Sean:

Sean will be wearing long-sleeve button-up shirt, a pair of jeans, and walking shoes on the plane.

Other things that are packed in the large backpacks:

• Toiletries
• Car phone holder and charger
• Vitamins
• 5 Detergent pods
• First aid kit
• Hand pump and bottle
• Wallaboo Baby sling

In the diaper bag (which we will carry on the plane), we have:

• Changing mat/portable bassinet
• 20 diapers, 1×80 baby wet wipes
• Travel-size Desitin butt paste
• Changing clothes for me
• Nursing cover
• 1 Blanket, 1 swaddle cloth
• 1 set of pajamas
• 3 long-sleeve bodysuits
• 3 pants
• 2 pairs of mittens and socks
• 1 hat and 1 bib
• Sanitizing dettol wipes
• Medicine and first aid box
• Infantino baby carrier
• hand sanitizer
• several small ziplock bags for soiled clothes

Even though the stroller and car seat are two separate pieces, we can actually connect them together. It is the Graco click connect travel modes. We also have a rain cover and mosquito cover for it.

I’m hoping that we packed the right amount for our travel. The first thing we will do as soon as we arrive at our accommodation is for us to do a grocery run. The first round of diapers should last us at most 3-4 weeks. After that, we will definitely have to buy them along the way. I just don’t want to wish I had brought more things for Arthur. Hopefully, we have everything we need. I guess we’ll see soon enough.
