Planning a family vacation to Cancun, Puerto Morelos, or Playa del Carmen with a baby or toddler? Packing for little ones can feel like preparing for a full-scale expedition—but it doesn't have to be.
This guide walks you through exactly what to pack (and what to leave behind) when vacationing in Mexico’s Riviera Maya with young kids—and how Puerto Baby Rentals can help you travel lighter, safer, and smarter.

Lightweight cotton onesies and rompers
Sun hats with UV protection
Swimwear and rash guards
PJs (air conditioning can be chilly!)
Sandals and water shoes
Light blanket for cool nights or flights
Tip: You don’t need too many outfits—laundry service is widely available in resorts and Airbnbs.
🧼 Diapering & Hygiene
Diapers and swim diapers for a few days (you can buy more locally)
Wipes (travel pack + extra for outings)
Diaper cream (sensitive-skin safe)
Baby shampoo and soap
Nail clippers and baby brush
Changing pad
🍼 Feeding Essentials
Formula or breast pump
Bibs, bottles, sippy cups
Travel-friendly snacks and baby food
Utensils and dishware
Cooler bag for beach snacks
💊 Health & Safety
Baby-safe sunscreen (reef-safe is best!)
Insect repellent (pediatric formula)
Thermometer and basic baby meds
Hand sanitizer
First-aid kit
✈️ Optional Items You Can Leave at Home (And Rent Instead)
Instead of lugging heavy or bulky baby gear, rent these items from Puerto Baby Rentals—we deliver to your hotel, resort, Airbnb, or villa:
Item | Why Rent It Instead |
Full-size crib | Safe, clean, pre-set up—no assembly required |
High chair | Meals made easy, wherever you stay |
Stroller | Skip damage in transit; we offer lightweight and jogger options |
Beach wagon | Haul gear, toys, and tired toddlers to the beach |
Toys & books | Save suitcase space; we offer age-appropriate play kits |
Baby bath | Most resorts only have showers; no need to wash baby in the sink |

Whether you're staying in an all-inclusive resort in Cancun, a cozy beachfront Airbnb in Playa del Carmen, or a family-friendly villa in Puerto Morelos, we deliver and pick up gear on your schedule.
Final Tips for Smooth Travel with Kids in Mexico
Bring a few comforts from home: a favorite stuffed animal or bedtime book goes a long way.
Use a small day bag or backpack for outings with diapers, wipes, sunscreen, and a change of clothes.
Stay hydrated—babies and toddlers dehydrate quickly in the sun!
