JetSetBabies takes the hassle out of lugging formula and diaper-filled suitcases by shipping your baby supplies to vacation destinations so they’re waiting for you on arrival. You order the products online from JetSetBabies, which stocks baby food, diapers, bottles, formula, sunscreen, cribs and strollers, and the company takes care of the rest, shipping and confirming delivery of the supplies with your accommodation. You need to order a minimum 10 days in advance for mainland US destinations, 18-21 days for overseas. And if you discard anything at the end of your stay, JetSetBabies will arrange for the items to be donated to a local charity. Easy peasy.

| Description:
It may sound Italian, but this impressive US-based website sources, reviews and recommends family friendly vacation properties around the world. With the property evaluations arranged by location, type, standard and style—and separate age ratings covering babies, toddlers, school age and teens—the site is very user-friendly and offers useful travel tips, advice and personal reviews from both the Ciao Bambino! staff and its community of traveling parents. Destinations include North and Central America, Hawaii, the Caribbean, UK and Europe. As mom to a 5-year-old boy, founder Amie O’Shaughnessy speaks from personal experience, especially when it comes to booking hotels. "When traveling with children, it’s really important to understand exact room configuration details prior to arrival so there are no unwelcome surprises," she says. "For example, suites may or may not have separate bedroom and living room areas. In some hotels, a suite simply means a larger room category which may not work for young children that need to be put to bed early. In addition, most hotels have a limited selection of connecting rooms, so it is best to ensure that your confirmation letter states the exact configuration to present at check-in. Hotel policies vary around charging for cribs and extra beds, so be sure to understand if this is the case as it may impact the nightly rate." Great advice.
