7 Things You Shouldn’t Pack When Traveling to Cancun with a Baby (And What to Do Instead)

Planning a family vacation to Cancun, Puerto Morelos, or Playa del Carmen? If you’re traveling with a baby or toddler, you might be tempted to pack everything. But here’s the secret savvy parents know: you don’t have to bring it all with you.

At Puerto Baby Rentals, we help families from the U.S., Canada, and Europe travel lighter and smarter with safe, sanitized baby gear delivered straight to your hotel, resort, or Airbnb. Here’s what you can leave at home—and what to do instead.

🧳 1. Full-Size and "Travel" cribs

Leave it: Airlines don’t make it easy to travel with heavy, bulky cribs.

Instead: Rent a full-size crib in Cancun with mattress, and sheets, delivered and set up upon your arrival and in some cases, before you arrive!

🧼 2. High Chair

Leave it: Not all rentals or resorts have clean, secure high chairs.

Instead: We offer sanitized high chair rentals in Cancun perfect for mealtime in any vacation rental.

🛒 3. Beach Wagon

Leave it: Large wagons are hard to fly with.

Instead: Rent a foldable beach wagon for easy travel to the beach, markets, or town centers.

☀️ 4. Stroller

Leave it: Airlines often damage or lose strollers.

Instead: We provide lightweight, full-size and double stroller rentals that are perfect for navigating resorts or towns.

🧸 5. Toys & Beach Gear

Leave it: Toys take up precious luggage space.

Instead: Our toy boxes come with age-appropriate beach toys, indoor toys and books!

🎒 6. Car Seats and Booster Seats

Leave it: Too bulky and heavy to bring along.

Instead: Rent booster seats or car seats for safe travel while exploring the beautiful Riviera Maya in your rental car.

🍼 7. Diapers, SPF, snacks, etc.

Leave it: Skip overpacking the "extra" stuff (even if its essential!).

Instead: Ask us about our shopping service for a full grocery run or to have a few things delivered .

Whether you’re staying in a resort in Cancun, a villa in Puerto Morelos, or a beachfront Airbnb in Playa del Carmen, we’ll deliver and pick up your gear at the times you choose. Our bilingual customer service ensures smooth communication for every family.
