History

Corinne McDermott wanted to take a family vacation before her first maternity leave was over. Frustrated by the scattered information on destinations, packing, flying tips, and family-specific hotel reviews, she decided to create a one-stop web brochure for busy parents with questions on traveling with baby. Her supportive husband taught himself the basics, and Have Baby Will Travel was launched from their basement in the Spring of 2007. Now a toddler itself, Have Baby Will Travel sports a brand new look but continues to assist thousands of parents from around the world research destinations, read informative articles, and peruse trip reviews submitted by other traveling families. There is also a valuable links page, where Corinne features other websites and businesses aimed at supporting families and family travel.

Have Baby Will Travel now features information and trip reports for 21 destinations around the world, and the list continues to grow. Now Have Baby Will Travel has added an online store, an interactive blog, with the latest in family travel news and hot deals, as well as a monthly newsletter to help keep all parents with wanderlust informed on the latest happenings.
