Summer holidays, summer vacations, whatever you call them, it’s that time of year! For many families it’s their annual chance to get out there, see a bit of the world and have some safe family fun with no stress. Here I’m going to show you some family summer travel accessories to make your vacation or holiday so much easier, safer and more comfortable. We’ve been on the road with our kids for 4 full years, we’ve had some practice!
Don’t Lose Your Bags! Bag Tracking Devices
Turning up at your holiday destination airport to find that your bag or case has vanished at the hands of the airline is no fun! These bag tracking devices are currently all the rage, they hook up to apps on your phone and can track your bag all over the world. Never lose a bag! Take a look at this item on Amazon for easy bag tracking.
UV and Bug Protection for Your Tot
We used these for our own tiny boys and they were an absolute Godsend. The kids slept better and longer and I never had to worry about the sun, flies, wasps, mosquitos or the diseases carried by mosquitos. For any tropical destination with a risk of Dengue, these are ideal. This version should fit most brands of stroller, pram or buggy and they are so much better than draping a towel over your child! Take a look here.
Better, Cleaner, Airline Travel for Your Baby Gear
We all know we are entitled to travel with everything bar the kitchen sink when we fly with babies, but did you know that your child’s familiar cocoon will arrive at your destination covered in grime after long-time encounters with every floor on the way? These bags are such a good idea! You’ll also keep all those straps and sticky-out bits safe from snags and your gear will be easier to relocate at the outsize baggage area. We have had a buggy damaged by baggage handlers, it’s no joke. Look here.
For Your Summer Road Trip
Grubby little footprints on our car seat backs (or worse, rental car seat backs) are to be avoided at all costs, do that with any car seat back protector. This one takes it to the next level! Stash all those important items neatly and in easy reach for trouble free car trips. This organizer below is great in having that clear pocket for hands-free in-vehicle i-pad entertainment.
That’s all for now but there is much more to come, I’m scouring the web looking for products that, as an experienced mommy traveller, I know are a great idea. When I find the latest, greatest, best holiday travel accessories and family vacation gear, I’ll be sharing them here!
