Kid Travel Essentials :: Fun & Practical
Traveling with kids can be a daunting, but with a few practical and fun kid travel essentials (like an Ipad Mini), your entire family will be able to enjoy the journey, no matter the destination. We have learned over the years that having a well packed bag can make all the difference in the world and we have a rule in our family:: Everyone has to be able to carry their own bag. So, we recommend choosing a bag that is known for quality and comfort, like Fjällräven’s mini backpack and filling it with light and useful things.
Here are our Top Ten Favorite Kid Travel Essentials:
1. Apple Ipad Mini :: It’s a life saver on long journeys and you can add all kinds of apps that will inspire a child’s imagination & creativity. Our current faves that are perfect for all ages are: Draw a Stickman, Magic Piano (my son is obsessed with this one!), & Disney Infinity Toy Box.
2. Poppin Palette Crayon Set:: These crayons not only come in fun colors, but they are easy for kids to grip, extra sturdy, and are self sharpening!
3. Urbanears:: These kid size headphones are a special collaboration with J Crew and we can tell you firsthand that they are the best! They collapse, have great sound, and our’s have endured thousands of miles of travel with our kids!
4. Fjällräven Backpack:: This bag has been a Scandinavian icon for over 35 years. It’s durable, comfortable to carry, and super cool looking! (Sizes are available for kids and grown ups!)
6. I Like To Draw Book :: Kids can get restless, but this book will not only entertain them for hours, but inspire their artsy side, too!
7. California Sweatshirt:: Always bring a change of clothes for your little people… you never know when a mess will arrive, but this travel themed sweatshirt will keep the tears away!
8. Kids’ Flight 001 Wet STUFF Bag:: Accidents happen and being prepared while make it no big deal!
