Every family has their “can’t leave home without it” travel essentials. For us, these items are the difference between smooth adventures and total meltdowns. Here’s a peek into what actually works for us—no gimmicks, just tested, mom-approved gear.
🔋 1. Portable Chargers
My #1 essential. Between tablets, phones, and random toy batteries, having power on the go is non-negotiable. We keep a few slim chargers in easy-access pockets so we’re never stuck with a dead device mid-travel day.
🎧 2. Tablets + Good Headphones
My kids know that travel days = unlimited tablet time, and everyone is happier for it. PBS Kids Games and Khan Academy Kids are our go-to apps for flights and long waits. Quality headphones make a huge difference—no more competing noise battles.
🎒 3. Simple Modern Backpacks
These are lightweight, durable, and hold just enough. Each kid gets their own, which makes them feel grown up and gives us easy organization.
🛞 4. The “Toddler Trolley”
We’ve officially outgrown traditional strollers, but we’re not above a little genius hack. Our stripped-down Jovy Caboose is our secret weapon for long walking days (NYC, Disney, you name it). It’s light, maneuverable, and buys us hours of stamina with zero whining.
Family travel doesn’t have to feel like chaos. With the right gear, you can navigate airports, cities, and theme parks with confidence—and a whole lot more fun.
