Travelling with kids doesn’t have to require packing the whole house. Jocey Newman and her spouse took off on a year-long adventure with their kid and only carry-on. Let’s learn how! 
 
Jocey Newman is a mom, adventure traveller, and the founder of First Peak, a line of sustainable adventure wear for babies and toddlers. All her clothes are made in the USA using eco-friendly fabrics that are designed to stand up to mess, moisture, and exploration. She’s currently living on the road with her husband and 2-year-old, testing out First Peak clothes every day.  
 
Reasons to Pack Carry-On Only: 
No lost luggage 
Less to haul 
Makes travel faster 
Teaches children value and purposeful consumption 
Kids are really good at finding anything to play with 
Allows you and your kids to work on letting go and saying bye to items  

What to Pack: 
Camping packs as carry-on (using packing cubes) 
A smaller backpack for day use 
Stroller (Baby Zen YoYo Stroller) 
Carseat, if you’re not borrowing  
Clothes 
Books 
iPad 

What to Buy On Travel: 
Snacks 
Perishable food 
Diapers 
Toiletries   

What to Borrow: 
Big items 
Air BnB has a filter, so you can search for homes with cribs, etc. 
Carseat, even from Facebook Marketplace (car seats are a tricky one, because different places have different regulations, and you don’t know how a car seat has been treated…this one may take some looking into) 

Tips for Travel: 
Don’t overpack for the “what if’s” or plan for every possible scenario 
Consider using transit, bikes, rentals 
For liquids, pack some small ones, but then buy larger there as needed 
Before arriving, look up park, pharmacy, and grocery store near you 
Wash clothes in the sink as needed  
When exhausted, get outside, have snacks, change the scenery, and give kids a chance to lead! 

First Peak [Sustainable Kids’ Clothing]: 
Inspiration for this business came from her son spilling milk on himself while hiking/travelling. She was inspired to create something sustainable, that’s quick to dry, uses safe fabrics, and lasts!
