15 Baby Foods that Travel Well

15. Raisins - personally I hate them, but little people love them.

14. Rice Cakes - the organic flavoured ones taste less like cardboard.

13. Formula - SMA do a great boxed package of premade formula for planes trains and automobiles.

12. Sippy cups with juice. You would think the small boxed juices are good, but hand it to them and I guarantee they squeeze it before it gets to their lips. It will happen just when you don't have time to change their shirts.

11. Peter Rabbit Squishy fruits - these have pure apple fruit packs for early weaners (not to be confused with wieners).

10. Clementines - nature's packaging is perfect.

9. Yogurts/petit filous in a chiller pocket of the nappy bag for the first leg of a journey only!

8. Put some crackers in a small tupperware - keeping them in the bag will result in crumbs!

7. Speaking of crackers, North America has the ultimate toddler cracker: Pepperidge Farm's Goldfish. If you're there or travelling there pick up a crateful.

6. Cheesestrings - they say they are 100% cheese. I choose to believe them. Again, easy travel packaging, but really for the first leg of the journey before they get sweaty and horrible.

5. Grapes - unlike the souless variety (raisins), these are higher maintenance, but fresher - cut in half to avoid a choking hazard and put in tupperware. Yummy.

4. Granola bars - they come in a wide variety that suits all ages.

3. Cheerios - dry, plain, in some sort of sealable cup. The European version is more sugary, so if you want sugar-free little O's bring your own if travelling from the US/Canada.

2. Bananas - again, in nature's packaging...but be careful with these - much more apt to squish into a packed bag. Carry them somewhere you won't jam some toys on top in a rush to deplane/detrain.

1. What NOT to pack - chocolate of any kind. There is nothing worse than travelling kids who are high on sugar. If you want some upon arrival, they sell chocolate the world over!
