With so many new products released one after the other, all with the intention of making our parenting lives easier, it can be hard to sift through to find the new products worth our hard-earned dollars. Because the holiday season is fast-approaching, we're all in on the products that make traveling with kiddos more bearable and less stressful.
See some of our travel picks below (and one that isn't so much for traveling per se, but is so Insta-worthy, we couldn't not give it a mention)!
"These leak-proof and refillable Baby Brezza Drink Pouches ($7 for a 5-pack, available in late November) are a lifesaver, especially on-the-go (not to mention, they'll save you money compared to disposable juice pouches and boxes). They're easy to fill and refill to provide your little one with a more manageable drink vessel while out and about, and are also great for lunch boxes. (Plus, they come in these cute PAW Patrol designs!)" — Alessia Santoro, editor, Family
"Aside from the Nikon D3500 Camera ($597) being Nikon's most compact and lightweight DSLR camera yet, its Bluetooth connectivity means you can easily share the pictures and videos you shoot to your smartphone wherever you are. Just download the free SnapBridge app and you can kiss the extra steps of uploading photos and videos to your computer and emailing photos to your phone goodbye." — Angela Elias, director, Family
"For on-the-go parents, having a beloved children's book in tow can go a long way. Thankfully, the If My Cat Could Talk Personalized Book ($30) lets pet owners incorporate their own furry friend into the pages. And don't worry dog-lovers, there's a storybook option for your pooch, too." — Murphy Moroney, assistant editor, Family
"So much of travel involves keeping the kiddos busy, whether it's waiting at the gate or hanging out at grandma's. What to do with all of their creations? Well you could dump them all, or you could turn them into something tangible that goes far beyond the home refrigerator. The Little P Little Creator Rug ($60) turns their art into an actual rug!" — Rebecca Brown, senior editor, Shop and Family
"It's essential to have two free hands at any given time when you're traveling with your kids (even if it's just to the park!). The new Knight Rose print in the Ju-Ju-Be Be Right Back Backpack ($155, available Nov. 13) makes it so you can carry all of yours and your kids' things, and look good doing it. Go you!" — AS
"Whether you're going to warm-weather location or somewhere cold, the organic bāeo bare face ($13) is something you want to have on-hand for the entire family." — RB
"On-the-go snacking just got waaay cuter, thanks to Baby Brezza's Reusable Sandwich and Snack Bag Sets ($10). They come in an adorable Trolls design featuring Poppy's face (pictured, available in late November) as well as a PAW Patrol design featuring Chase or Skye." — AS
"Not only is this collab Oh Joy! for CALPAK 5 piece Packing Cubes Confetti ($48) adorable, it's practically a necessity for traveling. I usually use one for my husband, one for myself, and a few for the baby (she somehow ends up having the most stuff)." - RB
Keeping a cozy Keep Nature Wild's Sunset Canyon Blanket ($48) with you is usual critical for nap time. And salmon hues in this weave makes it hard to leave behind in an airport. — MM
"Keep a set of the Dwypers 10-pack ($24) in every single bag you're traveling with — your purse, the baby carrier, heck, even the dog carrier. Inside each handy Dwyper is everything you need for a sudden blowout, plus a bag to put the dirty diaper in." - RB
"OK, so maybe vitamins aren't exactly something you think about when it comes to travel, but you can't remember to pack your vitamins when you go away, so think of this as your friendly reminder. These new Prenatal Vitamins ($35 per month) from Ritual look like Instagram jumped straight into your medicine cabinet, but rest assured: they also do everything you need your prenatal vitamin to do — prep your body for pregnancy, nourish your health, and support your baby's development." — AS
