1. Passports, tickets, and insurance cards
Keep these in the zipped outer pocket of your Calia bag for instant access.

Our insulated bottle holders keep food and drinks warm or cool—without bulky extra bags.

Keep them in the small interior zip pocket, so you never have to rummage.

Pack one diaper for every 1.5 hours of travel time. Our main compartment holds up to 10 diapers.
6. Changing mat
Foldable changing pad, have it always within reach.
7. Extra clothes
Store clean clothes in one interior section and soiled items in another to avoid mess.
8. Books, toys, or a tablet
Use the padded compartment for a tablet or lightweight toys to keep your little one entertained.
