What Is Have Baby Will Travel and Who Is It For?

Have Baby Will Travel (havebabywilltravel.com) is a family travel advice site focused on traveling with babies, toddlers, and young children. It has published guidance since 2007 and is aimed at first-time parents and families planning trips with small children—from all-inclusive resorts and camping to destinations like Machu Picchu. The site's stated mission is to inspire, motivate, and help families travel with young children, with content grounded in the authors' first-hand travel experience.

Who the site is for

The site speaks directly to parents who are new to traveling with a baby or who are adding a child to family trips. Its welcome page acknowledges the anxiety and fear that can come with organizing a first trip, whether that means traveling with a newborn, flying with a toddler, or planning a road trip with a baby. If you are weighing whether a trip with a small child is realistic, or you want practical preparation rather than general inspiration, this is the audience the site is written for.

What it covers

The site organizes its advice around the practical questions parents face before and during a trip:

• What to pack for a baby or toddler
• Where to go, including destination-specific guidance such as beach vacations in North America
• Baby travel gear, including an Amazon store for travel gear and accessories
• Flying with infants and toddlers, including a dedicated tip list
• Specific situations such as gate-checking a stroller, traveling while potty training, and road trips with a baby

It also publishes first-hand travel stories from families, alongside hundreds of pages of resources covering different aspects of travel with young children.

How the advice is positioned

The site describes its answers as "useful and realistic" and based on actual, first-hand experience rather than theory. That matters if you want guidance from parents who have taken these trips themselves—including the less glamorous parts, as suggested by article titles like "Traveling with an Infant: The Good, the Bad, and the Stinky!"

When it may not be the right fit

The site is built around babies, toddlers, and young children. For older children, it points readers to its sister site, Have Kids Will Travel, which covers family vacations and adventures for that age group. If your children have outgrown the baby and toddler stage, that sister site is the more relevant resource.

How to use it

Start with the topic that matches your immediate planning question—packing, flying, a destination, or gear—and search the site for the specific age or stage you are traveling with. The site also invites readers to connect on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for additional advice and support.
