Thanksgiving Travel with Kids
25
items Everything that makes the holiday drive or flight with little ones actually survivable: car activities, mess-free snacks, packing hacks, and the gear I never travel without.
absolute road trip lifesaver — the boys color and snack on this for hours and nothing slides off. the side pockets hold everything and it wipes clean in seconds
ECOFANTASY Kids Travel Tray - Toddler Car Seat ...
zero mess = zero stress! the markers only work on the special paper so my car seats survive. the boys fight over the blue one lol
Crayola Color Wonder Mess Free Blank Coloring
i fill one of these the night before every road trip — goldfish, grapes, cheese cubes, done. no more 'mom i'm hungry' every 20 minutes
Snack Box Containers
movie time in the backseat! this holds the tablet steady on the headrest so the boys can watch without anyone holding it. no more dropped tablets
Headrest Tablet Holder
game changer for long drives — each kid listens to their own show and i can actually hear myself think. volume limited so their ears are safe
Kids Headphones
no screens needed! these kept the boys busy through a 4-hour drive to grandma's. the bingo one is their favorite
Travel Games For Kids
these are magic — stickers peel right off and go back on so the boys rearrange them a million times. zero sticky mess in my car
Reusable Sticker Book
toddler-proof snacking! the soft top keeps cheerios in even when it tips over. i keep one filled in the diaper bag at all times
Spill Proof Snack Cup
no more bobblehead naps! this supports their little necks so they actually sleep in the car. the animal shapes are so cute
Kids Travel Pillow
not glamorous but SO necessary. when there's no rest stop for miles this saves us. folds flat in the trunk and the bags make cleanup easy
Portable Potties
flying for thanksgiving? this bag protects the car seat from getting banged up. the backpack straps make it easy to carry through the airport
Car Seat Travel Bag
each boy gets their own color cube — outfits for 3 days fit perfectly and unpacking at grandma's takes 2 minutes. total game changer
OlarHike: Packing Cubes
keeps drinks and snacks cold for the whole drive. i pack it with juice boxes, string cheese, and fruit — way cheaper than gas station stops
Cooler Bag
mom law: never road trip without one. band-aids, wipes, motion sickness tabs — this little kit has saved us more than once
First Aid Kit
for the inevitable spills and accidents — wet clothes go in here and nothing else gets ruined. i keep two in the car at all times
Wet Dry Bag
keeps the car from looking like a disaster zone. hangs on the headrest and holds all the wrappers and crumbs. empty it at every gas stop
Car Trash Can
everything has a place now — tablets, snacks, water bottles, toys. the boys can reach their own stuff which means less 'mom can you get me...'
Back Seat Organizer
a must for hotel stays — blocks out hallway noise so the boys actually fall asleep. small enough to toss in the suitcase
White Noise Machine
perfect for rental cars and grandma's car — folds flat in a bag and the boys are safe and comfy. way easier than hauling the big car seat
Travel Booster Seat
blocks the glare so the boys can nap without the sun in their eyes. sticks on in seconds and no more squinting back there
Car Window Shades
each boy gets his own for the drive to grandma's — truly spill proof, i've tested it on every car seat we own lol. the dino sharks are a huge hit
Contigo Aubrey Kids Water Bottle, Dinos & Sharks
No paper, no lost crayons, no mess in my backseat — the boys draw, erase, and start over for hours on the drive to grandma's! Four in the pack means each boy gets his own color and there's a spare when one slides under the seat. Road trip gold!
4 Pack 8.5" LCD Writing Tablet for Kids
This little pillow saved our Thanksgiving flight, y'all! It blows up in the footwell so the boys can stretch their legs out flat and actually nap - then it deflates right into my carry-on.

My youngest gets carsick on winding roads, so these live in my first aid kit now! No medicine, just the little wristbands before we leave for grandma's - they saved our last drive, friend.
Sea Band Kids Pair of Wristbands Acupressure
Goldfish crumbs are a road trip tax in my car, so this little vacuum lives in the trunk now! At every gas stop I do a two-minute crumb rescue on the boys seats before we get back on the road to grandmas. By the time we arrive my car does not look lik...
