Tips for traveling with the kids

At BuddyBagz we’re constantly on the move and know that travel with kids is mostly a white-knuckle event. Here are some of the more creative ways we pack and travel…

Keep a running list of all the things you regularly take with you in your phone. You won’t have to write out a fresh list every time and it’s a huge help when you’re packing in a hurry.

If your kids are old enough, get them involved with the packing and make a list for them so they can help gather their things. Tell them to lay everything out on their bed and then let them show you what they picked.

Make sure the entertainment essentials are easily accessible at all times! Take extra batteries and chargers.

Surprise them with a personal gift bag containing snacks and new little toys. The novelty of this works particularly well for car trips.

For air travel wrap a new toy or activity for every hour of the flight. If they have good behavior, they get to open it. It takes a little planning but for a long flight it’s worth it!

Never underestimate the power of a pillow. (The BuddyBagz pillow is a great travel pillow – see what we did there? We’re clever like that 😉

Surprise them with weird stuff you normally would never let them play with – like a box of character Band Aids or an entire package of wipes just for them.

BuddyBagz hold all the travel essentials and kids love to carry them! The pillow and blanket are extremely handy to have during car trips and flights.
