You are definitely going to want to have diapers and wipes and a spare pair of pants if he is still in diapers.
I always have wet ones (or something like them), juice, water, and snacks (I bring animal crackers or ritz crackers and cheese sticks if you will have a cooler).
Fireworks can be really bright and baby’s eyes are sensitive, so bringing an extra pair of sunglasses for him to wear while watching them is a good idea. (You might need to throw in a pair for yourself in case he refuses to wear sunglasses if you’re not wearing them too!)
Since you will be outside make sure to bring him (and yourself) a sweatshirt and a blanket (to sit on and cover your legs with), bug spray, sunscreen and a hat if you will be out while the sun is still up. Bring toys that are fun for outside (a ball and soft frisbee) but also bring toys he can play with when its darker and you want him to sit still (Magnadoodles are great for this!). Bring a flashlight to help find your way back to the car after fireworks, and a favorite stuffed animal if you have a long drive home afterwards.
If you are getting the baby ready, dress him in long pants or jeans and a t-shirt (or long sleeve shirt if it’s cold) and bring a sweatshirt. Make sure he is wearing socks and tennis shoes too. It is miserable to be cold while watching fireworks, so dress yourself in socks and tennis shoes, long pants, and a sweatshirt too.
