FAQs
What's the most important thing to pack when leaving the house with a newborn?
A well-stocked nappy bag is the priority — nappies, wipes, a change of clothes, and a comforter or dummy for settling baby on the go.
Do I need both a pram and a baby carrier?
Many parents use both. A pram is great for longer outings and storage, while a carrier keeps hands free for shorter trips, public transport, or uneven terrain.
How do I keep a nappy bag organised?
Look for a bag with multiple internal pockets, or add a pram caddy for quick-access items like your phone, keys and water bottle.

A spare nappy wallet, change mat and a few nappies in the car means you're never caught out mid-trip.
