Packing for a toddler to go to an amusement park requires some planning and preparation. No one wants to lug around extra stuff that they won’t need, but you also don’t want to be caught empty handed and in need. Consider leaving “just in case” things in the car or a locker inside the park to minimize what you need to carry around.
Here are some things that you should consider bringing:
1. Extra Clothes: Pack at least one extra set of clothes in case of spills, accidents, or unexpected weather changes.
2. Sunscreen: Protect your toddler’s skin by packing a high SPF sunscreen and applying it regularly throughout the day. We recommend mineral sunscreens for toddlers and babies of 50 SPF.
3. Hat: Bring a hat to protect your toddler’s head and face from the sun. (You can skip this if your stroller has a good sunshade.)
4. Water Bottle and Snacks: Pack a refillable water bottle and some snacks to keep your toddler hydrated and energized throughout the day.
5. Stroller or Carrier: Bring a stroller or carrier to help you navigate the park with your toddler. If it’s really warm out, pack a stroller fan and ditch the carrier.
6. Comfortable Shoes: Choose comfortable shoes that your toddler can wear all day. Avoid flip flops or sandals that could fall off easily.
7. Diapers and Wipes: Bring plenty of diapers and wipes to keep your toddler clean and dry.
8. Hand Sanitizer: Pack a bottle of hand sanitizer to help keep your toddler’s hands clean and germ-free.
9. Identification: Make sure to carry identification for both you and your toddler in case of an emergency.
Remember to check the park’s website or social media pages before your visit to see if they have any specific policies or rules regarding items that can or cannot be brought into the park.
Most importantly have fun!!! Leave us a comment if you think we left anything off the list!
