I am just wanting to know if anyone has any good tips for what to take along for our trip.


Answer
You don't say how old your infant is - and as you said infant and not baby, I would talk to your peditrician first and make sure they have had enough shots and are strong enough to go. Camping lends itself to misquitos bites, ticks and other things...

With that being said though - for slightly older babies - be sure to bring a baby backpack (for ages 6 months and up) keeps them elevated and allows for them to see everything better - also acts as a diaper bag. Jogger strollers are also a wonderful invention fo rthose trail that you can use them on.

A bassinet or portacrib - as they can't sleep in sleeping bags.

DIAPERS, DIAPERS & more DIAPERS as well as ziploc bags to seal them in while you are hiking, etc... since there may not be any garbage cans near and this will prevent a mess or smell in your diaper bag.

If you aren't breastfeeding - plenty of formula, bottles & BOTTLED water as you probably won't be able to boil water and you don't want them drinking tap water.

Answer
I have packed for many trips before, so I know most of what you will need. Bring clothes for each day, and roll them up (if it won't damage them) to save space. If you are camping, you will need to put the clothes in Zip Lock baggies to avoid them getting wet. Always bring extra socks, regardless of whether you are camping or not. Since most airplanes charge for excess luggage, you will need to pack smart in your suitcase, doing things like putting your socks inside your shoes, using the side pockets of the suitcase, etc...

In terms of a carry on, I would suggest carrying your things in a backpack or similar bag. You should bring books, your iPod/ MP3 if you have one, your phone, magazines, etc. Also remember that your carry on should be small enough to bring on the airplane, or they will make you check it. You are allowed one personal item, which could be a laptop case, a purse, or any other similar item.

Hope this helps!! Have fun in Cherry Hill!!
