Whether you can use the Snap n Go depends on how big your baby is. If they still fit in it (based on weight) then I say go for it. It is alot easier to use than a full size carseat & stroller. I would bring clothes, bottles, toys, diaper cream, medicine taken on a daily basis, and a blanket. If you're staying in a hotel, I would bring a porta-crib sheet and mattress cover. I brought them when I went to Fla. and I was glad I did. What the hotel provided was gross! As far as wipes, formula & diapers, I would not clutter up my luggage with that stuff. You can get that stuff anywhere when you land. I know when DD was about that age, I brought the Bumbo for her. I just put it into the suitcase and packed clothes all around it -- in the seat and in all the little crevaces underneath. I was glad I had it. If you'll have access to laundry facilities, you can pack alot less clothes. If not, just bring an outfit and PJs for each day plus a couple of extras just in case. I wouldn't pack an extra for each day, unless your baby really uses that at home. That's all I can think of for now. HTH.

where are you staying? If you're going to be in a hotel with you all staying in the same room, you may not need it, but I always bring the monitor and a nightlight. If DD still fits on the infant seat/snap & go, I would definitely use that. It's so much easier.
