I'm really trying to pack the best hand luggage of my life for our Texas trip next week!  Here's the advice from Traveling-Kids.Blogspot.com

Packing List: 2 week US roadtrip with 16 mth old

Who:  My sister Georgina, her husband and 16 mth old daughter
What:  2 weeks travelling around Boston & New England in September

What I Packed in Suitcases
Clothing - Vests, sleepsuits, day clothes, socks, buggy blanket
Buggy - Citi Mini Baby Jogger
Travel Highchair - Baby Polar Gear Booster Seat
Swimming - Swim nappies, UV swimsuit, inflatable ring
Changing - Nappies, nappy sacks, cotton wool, baby wipes, hand gel, disposable changing mats
Toiletries - Nail scissors, bath thermometer, calpol, teething granules, Karvol, shampoo, bubble bath, hairbrush, toothpaste
Toys - Couple of soft toys, favourite book and stacking cups.  The cups are so versatile as you can play with them in the hotel, bath or at the beach.
Food & Drink - Bottles, bottle washing up brush, spoons, toddler milk, finger food, sippy cup, bibs.  Also an ice pack, tupperware and small freezer bag.  Most of the places we stayed at had a freezer so I would keep the ice pack in there when were in the room and then use this to pack snacks & meals.
Baby Monitor - BT150 which can play music and displays temperature
Shoes - sandals, jelly shoes (which she refused to wear)
Sleeping - Grobags, travel cot sheets
Reins - Littlelife Toddler Animal Daysack (which we didn't end up using as she is not yet steady enough on her feet)

What I wished I had packed
-  Car Window sunblind.  We didn't think of bringing ours and I really wish I had done to keep the sun out of her eyes on long car journeys.

What I didn't bother taking
Car Seat - we just rented one directly with our Hertz car rental
Travel cot - we booked most of our accommodation in advance and in each case we had a crib (cot) or pack & play (travel cot)

What I packed in hand luggage
Travel documentation - Passport, insurance details, red book
Clothing - change of clothes for us all.  When she did vomit onboard, my husband was absolutely covered in sick
Changing - Nappies, nappy sacks, baby wipes, hand gel, disposable changing mats
Food & Drink - Bottles, toddler milk (preordered Boots airside), snacks, sippy cups
