Советы для молодой мамы

Looking for some suggestions/advice.

I'm 26 weeks pregnant with baby #2, due July 15, and the first one is 17 months old. With a toddler already, I foresee possibly being on the move and on the go a good bit. He's very active and loves being outside.

Additionally, and very importantly, since I only started my current job in August, I may take a shorter maternity leave than prior because I only have a little bit of paid time off to take and also I don't qualify for FMLA since I haven't been here a year yet. My job is flexible and I can do some working from home and or bring the baby into the office until she goes to daycare with the toddler, which she probably will go to daycare around 3 months old.

I'm thinking that if I may be away from home a bit with the baby and likely more than when our son was an infant, a good travel bassinet would be helpful/useful. I'm thinking something that could be easily carried (so lightweight and folds up) such as via my car and into my office if I take the baby to work, or elsewhere like short term for a few hours with family, etc. Any suggestions on specific products? Ideally not too expensive since we don't plan to have more kids, so would just pass it in to friends/family or possibly resell it afterwards.

Any other products you'd highly recommend for having two little ones (an infant and one that's around 1.5 years old), as a busy working mom who likes to be out and about, especially outdoors?

Also open to just general advice and tips as we grow our family.

TIA.
