Nuna products are some of my absolute favorites as a mom! We have their Nuna Zaaz High Chair and use it every single day. We also have their Pepp stroller, and it stays in my vehicle to use every time we are out and about. Just recently we finally got to try out Nuna’s Sena travel crib. For some people, the holidays bring traveling. Visiting with family is always one of my favorite things about the holidays, but for some people, it can be a little stressful while traveling with a baby or toddler. The Sena has a soft quilted mattress so your little one can get a good night’s sleep, even while away from home. The Sena is sturdy, and you can easily close it with just one hand – perfect as you learn to do most things with one hand once you have a baby! The travel crib comes with an easy to carry carrying case with handle. What I like most about this travel crib is that it comes in 2 sizes – regular size and mini size. The mini would be perfect when you are traveling and don’t have a lot of room in your vehicle or even where you’re staying.
Today I’ve teamed up with Nuna to give away a Sena travel crib to one lucky reader! To enter, just use the rafflecopter widget below. What is the hardest part of traveling with a baby or toddler to you? For me, it is trying to fit an entire nursery and playroom into one vehicle, and then hoping that they still sleep well on vacation! = ) Good luck moms!
I honk the hard part of traveling with babe/babies – whether local traveling or not local – is trying to get all the necessities together and packing adequately. I've always seemed to overpack.
I think the hardest part of traveling is always sleeping arrangements. My 13 month old hates sleeping in anything but the crib! We currently have the Four Moms pack n play and he will not sleep well in it… On NYE he slept in my friends Nuna and it made such a difference! He slept so good! I would love to win one!
So far, it has been SLEEP. My son's night sleep gets all out of whack, so none of us sleep well on vacation. Hoping to win this crib so we can transition him to something sturdier than the travel infant crib we've been using!
Keeping on schedule and dealing with changing and feeding in weird places is always tough on me.
Using a pack and play that is too small for your little one when you are flying. That happened last time I went to visit family because I didn't check any bags. It was rough for my baby and me. She ended up sleeping in the bed by the end.
I am currently pregnant with our first so I'm not sure what will be the hardest part but I anticipate the change in schedule and time zone would be the hardest for a baby! When we travel we go behind 2 hours to see family and I always have issues adjusting.
Just packing everything that is needed for yourself, you spouse, AND a baby!
This is a great product! Our old pack n play is very bulky and hard to put together. My little one is still too small to sleep in a bed, so this would be great for travel.
The hardest part of travel for me is trying to keep the kids on a normal(ish) schedule while being away from home. They don't want to sleep but they need to or else they are so crabby!
We will find out soon enough, but my guess is that it will be overpacking for them.. I tend to overpack in general for me but imagine I will be worse with packing for a baby!
Being comfortable and sleeping or forgetting something!
Keeping her entertained while we are traveling.
We haven't attempted to travel yet, but I'm already dreading how much stuff we will need!!
Sleep schedule gets out of sync 🙁
Trying to find a place that my daughter likes to nap is the hardest part for me.
The hardest part is breaking schedules and schlepping all the gear!
Thanks for sharing! Might have to end up getting this no matter what! We're expecting our first in five weeks, and any travel advice helps! I'm so worried about all the time spent in a car and keeping them entertained!
I am pregnant with my first one, but I help babysit my sisters kid. I agree it is hard to keep a play area and sleep area in one spot. I think it will be challenging for me when I have a toddler because my house is smaller. But I can not wait.
Haven't had to do it yet since baby is due soon but I'm afraid of all the stuff you have to bring while keeping them happy!
We don't have a baby yet, but we would like one soon!
The hardest part of traveling with little ones is convincing them to sleep in new and unfamiliar places.
I'll let you know come March! 🙂
Just had my baby and only have done day trips! Hopefully this will make me brave enough to do an overnight!
To put him to sleep is the hardest thing for me
Sleeping. Finding a good , safe place for little ones is always hard.
Staying on a schedule.
Keeping baby entertained:) Thank you for the giveaway and Happy New Year!
Hardest part is staying on a schedule! This is such a great product…hoping to win this for my little one due at the end of the month.
The hardest part of traveling with a little one is getting them to sleep! Sleep schedules go right out the window!
Sleep schedules and hoping you've packed all the necessities!!!
I'll learn all about traveling with children soon — I hadn't thought about sleeping arrangements, this would be perfect!
Sleeping arrangements! My MIL only has a spare Twin bed. She has two sons, with wives, and kids (or soon to have). Ha. Holiday hilarity.
wondering how they will like the new environment and did I pack the right things, forget something.
Sleeping schedules and finding a routine 🙁
Keeping a schedule and sleeping in a strange place.
naps for sure
Thank you for giving the information.Look forward to your updating:)

getting him to sleep after all the excitement
Getting them off there sleeping schedule. That was always the hardest part for me traveling with a child
Traveling alone with an infant is really difficult. Especially in the car when the little one wakes up and is screaming and your helpless because you're rushing to the nearest exit or rest stop.
Adjusting to different time zones is so hard.
Adjusting to different time zones is so hard.
Difficulty with keeping the same nap schedule and bedtime for sure
Everything about traveling with a infant is difficult. Making sure you have all their necessities, keeping their schedule the same and especially keeping them calm if you are flying!
Haven't traveled yet, but today is my son's first birthday and I promised him we would be taking a trip soon!
Making sure that you have all the necessities! And of course keeping on schedule (sleeping, eating, etc)
The lack of sleep. My youngest already has a hard time sleeping but put him in a new place and it is killer!
The hardest part of traveling with my little one is keeping them entertained while on the road

Making sure you packed for everyone!
The hardest part of traveling with baby is getting adjusted to new environments, meanwhile keeping somewhat of a normal sleep schedule. It always takes a couple days once we get back home to get back to normalcy, but the close family time spent during the travel makes it ALL worth it!
For us it's the over stimulus/sensory of all the hustle and bustle at the airport and getting from one place to the other.
The hardest part about traveling with my Son is taking him off of his schedule. We have an amazing routine at home but when we get off of that routine he is just a mess.
Ensuring that they are comfy and familiar with surroundings to get enough rest and sleep!
Mine is to never forget their favorite toy they sleep, eat and play with.
We havent gone anywhere yet with our little one but I do dread all of the equipment/stuff we will have to take with us
Not being on a regular schedule is the hardest part. For me and my little ones we live on a schedule and when that gets altered it's not easy. I would love to have this for traveling as we do travel quite often.
I struggle the most with packing everything in an organized fashion.
First cross country flight will be when DD is 3 months! Not looking forward to managing all the luggage+baby.

Staying on schedule
The hardest part of traveling with my son was keeping him on a sleep schedule. When they get out of schedule, they seem to get cranky too. This would be awesome for a baby to still have a "bed" for their own. 🙂
keeping sleep schedules. His naps are always thrown off and then you have the time difference issues.
entertaining them during all the in between times – the waiting, the packing up, the preparing, the driving.
The hardest part of traveling with a little on is just the hassle of the simple things, like stopping to go to the bathroom.
The hardest part of travelling with a little one is all the things you need to bring, and forgetting important things!
Right now it is staying at places that arent baby proofed!
The hardest thing is all the stuff you have to haul around!

The hardest part is having to bring double of everything as back up. like clothes

To me, the hardest part about traveling with a little one is making sure you have enough of their stuff with you that they feel comfortable.
The hardest part of traveling with a little one can be keeping them entertained for long periods of time. Thanks for the giveaway
Thr hardest part of traveling is having to bring everything you need while away from home. Somewhere to eat, somewhere to sleep, extra diapers, extra clothes, etc.
The hardest part about traveling with a little one is packing all of the necessities without overpacking.
Mine have a hard time sleeping anywhere else! So everything else is effected if they're tired. And there are 5 of them, so…
The hardest part for me is trying to keep our normal routine so he isn't over tired and fussy!
The hardest part of traveling with a little one for me is all the things you need to take with you.
Trying to make sure I have everything. I'm always bound to leave something. Lol! Have to make a list and check it twice.
The hardest part of traveling with baby and toddler is keeping a routine. I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old who are really into their routine and traveling seems to really mess that up. Would love something nice like this that the 2 month old could sleep in!!
The hardest part of traveling Wh my little guy is making his sleeping environment similar to his room at home. He is a bit sensitive and needs his routing but with a comfy place to sleep he adjusts much better.
The hardest part for us is getting out of our routine. It's harder to get my son down for naps which makes him cranky!
Packing!
The hardest part of traveling for us are the constant stops with having 3 little ones!
The hardest part of traveling is knowing what you need and what you don't without packing the whole house 🙂
If it's just me and the kids, then getting a 10 minute recharge alone is the hardest part and we all end up exhausted by the end. If it's our whole family, then trying to convince my husband that the kids are just kids and don't have the same stamina that we do/need regular meals and sleep time too.
The amount of "Stuff" that needs to be packed and keeping it all to the top of the vehicle if driving!! It's a pain trying to unpack and repack a car just to get to a new outfit for a blowout! 🙂
I think the hardest thing is packing for your child and yourself and remembering everything. The other thing that was really hard and difficult was trying to time travel to when my son was going to nap. For flights it worked sometimes and with the car he always eventually fell asleep though it sometimes took a bit of listening to him yell first.
I think the hardest part of traveling with baby is all of the unknown.
I will be traveling soon! I have traveled with my nieces so far and it has been difficult to keep the 3-year-old from wanting to run around everywhere we go.
For me the hardest part of traveling is getting my sons to both sleep at the SAME time in a different bed then their cribs!
Putting the baby to sleep and diaper changing.
Oh how wonderful this looks! I travel for work and gets bring my sweet baby along, but usually end up having to use the hotel pack and plays which are not necessarily the cleanest or greatest place to lay your sweet baby down on. This would be so huge! I think the hardest part of traveling with a baby is and to maintain your schedule. With family around everyone wants to play with the baby, maintaining your schedule is rather difficult. Finger fingers for this one! Poor Luke does not want to sleep in the hotel bed anymore!
I think the hardest part of traveling with my baby is both my penchant for overpacking, and the overstimulation/overtiredness for her. Poor thing! But we still love to tag along on daddy's business trips. 🙂
Keeping them entertained lol
All of the stuff our little one requires! Packing for the holidays we were shocked at all of the things and how much time it took to pack for our two month old. Hoping to simplify for our first trip on a plane in a couple of months! I've heard so many good things about the Nuna line – we're looking into buying some of their other products as well 🙂
The majority of my family is 4 hours away. I'm extremely close to them. It's important to me that my son Harrison has that bond as well. So I try to make that trip at least every other month. One of the biggest obstacles is making sure you have everything. At least most things you can buy if forgotten. I find the biggest challenge is playing Tetris with my SUV. Trying to get all of our bags, his necessities, etc and still have room for us and our 14 yo chihuahua. We somehow manage. Family is so worth it. ❤️ Thank you for the opportunity! I so enjoy your blog!
The hardest part for me is getting my little one to sleep in an unfamiliar (exciting!) place and getting the other kids to stay asleep when you have a restless little one in the same area.
There is quite a bit of stress that goes with traveling. There is the packing, the stopping for restroom breaks, the kids not being comfortable when they sleep. I have a 6 and 7 year old and 6 month old twins so it is very challenging but so worth it with all the memories made!
just keeping the young ones occupied and having sleep.
Getting them to bed in unfamiliar surroundings
Hardest thing is keeping their routine and getting them to sleep / naps!
For my its always been keeping them preoccupied during car rides or plane rides.
Keeping their normal routine and finding ways to keep them happy in the car. We try snacks and "new" toys for car rides.
Getting my babe to sleep in a new place
Getting our baby use ti a new sleeping environment.
I think the hardest part is the sleeping schedule and routine being disrupted.
This would be awesome for naps and trips! The hardest part is sticking to a sleeping schedule and sticking to it on the weekends!
Keeping everyone entertained for the drive.
Keeping everyone entertained for the drive.
Feeding!
Getting them to go to sleep in an unfamiliar surrounding
Keeping a good sleep schedule. With all of the stimulation, getting a little one to sleep can be tough. :/
Sleeping arrangements is usually the trickiest!
Packing for so many people and hitting all the high notes! I always tell myself if I have the swaddle, sound machine, and pacifier, I can go without everything else!
The hardest part is keeping the same sleep schedule.
I have the hardest time with sleep schedule and toddler fighting naps at all cost.
Hardest part of traveling is definitely being off of our schedule!
Right now its just crying in the car or on a plane, especially during landing.
The hardest part for us is the long car rides! Hard to keep my baby boy entertained!
