The one baby essential I’ve never left behind is the Phil&teds Lobster Clip-On Highchair, one of our picks in our guide to the best high chairs. I’ve traveled regularly with some combination of my three children for almost a decade-to cities considered baby-friendly (Copenhagen) and not (Paris) to beaches accessed by ferries (Sifnos, Greece) and hours-long car rides (Dingle, Ireland) to all-inclusives for cousins’ weddings (Punta Cana) and Airbnbs for pintxos (Logroño, Spain) and to coastal towns for respites (Lunenburg, Nova Scotia) and scenic highways for road trips (California’s PCH).
My secret to eating out and traveling with kids has nothing to do with by-the-book parenting or baby-whispering-and everything to do with a high chair.
