We just got back from 12 days in Portugal (Lisbon and Porto) with our 17 month old baby. It was his first international trip. Here are the highlights and some things to think about if you're taking a similar trip with a baby soon.

• Joolz Travel Stroller – Lightweight, compact, handles cobblestones well

• Cosco Scenera NEXT Car Seat – Affordable, narrow, ideal for flights

• Marriott Hotels – Consistent crib availability across properties and early check in/late check out with status

• Bolt in Portugal – Reliable alternative to trains when traveling with lots of gear similar to Uber in the USA
