When you travel alone, you sometimes look around at airports, and think how is it even possible to take kids anywhere? They have so much stuff! They never seem to sit still. Plus, they are always asking for something. Then, when you become a parent, you seem to just go with the flow of it all or at least try to roll with all the craziness. After all, our kids are everything!

Travel Hacks for Kids – The Essentials
Sea Band Nausea Relief Bracelets
Even before we took any major car rides, Sadie used these just to go to daycare each day. They have been unbelievable, and she no longer feels car sick. Before I found these amazing bracelets, Sadie dreaded the car!
Travel Potty
To eliminate all of those moments of potty panic, this travel potty will keep you stress free when your little one says, “I need to go NOW!”
Travel Potty Liners
Of course, these are required and a complete must have for the travel potty. The potty and liners are always in the car no matter what.
Neck Pillow
So I am not sure if you have this same problem, but we have gigantic heads. I mean my head alone could have a zip code, so because of genetics, this neck pillow is a must for my four-year-old. It saves me from having to lift her head when she takes a snooze in the car.
Travel Blanket
No matter what, there is always someone in the car who gets a little chilly, so this is just great to have in the trunk or hanging from the back of the seat.
Pacifier Clip
There is just nothing worse than a pacifier stuck in the seats during rush hour traffic. If thinking about it just gives you the chills, this clip is going to save you from those scary situations.

Doesn’t it just feel good when these little items have a place? This car organizer is just so amazing for more reasons than one. Your kids are going to see all of their items and so will you.

Water Bottle for Kids
The Contigo water bottle for kids is great, and this works well with the organizer clips too.
Backpack for Kids
So quick story about why I have one of these backpacks. When Sadie was two, I took her to Nashville to meet my husband for a little weekend getaway. Before I had this backpack, she literally ran away from me, ran up to a random toddler, kissed him, then headed to the sliding doors almost getting her hands stuck. So, because of this completely ridiculous scene, I did it; I purchased a bag with a leash. Yes, I once judged parents that leashed their children, and then, I learned oh so quickly!
Suitcase for Kids
To be honest, I just purchased this because of the unicorns. In our house, every single thing practically has a unicorn. Nonetheless, I do actually think this is quite the perfect budget-friendly suitcase for kids. It has enough pockets to keep their toiletries, shoes, diapers, undies, socks, and clothes. Plus, they will love carting it around.
