The Big Stuff
Here's my compiled list for sports parents that travel a lot, or have multiple long day tournaments. The Big Stuff.
We take this cooler everywhere. Its been especially helpful for our lacrosse tournaments. We can fit lunch meat and cheese in the drawer and it stays cool. While also loading the cooler with fruit, Gatorade, water, beer, and ice stays for hours. Wort...
Ninja FB151WH FrostVault 50qt Hard Cooler
Grab a fellow parent and pop this bad boy up. Such a life saver on super hot days with open fields and no shade. Easy to assemble and this fits on the floorboard between my captain seats.
10x10 Pop Up Canopy
If you have multiple littles but big trunk space this is legit. Hold kids, chairs, attaches cup holders, rolls on any kind of terrain well and is easy to push.
Larktale Stroller/Wagons
I have the auto fold stroller which basically lives in my trunk. Folds down really well. Pushes well and has attachments for kids snacks, cooler, speaker, etc.
Larktale Stroller/Wagons
Sometimes I like the rocker, sometimes I don't. Must have a cup holder and must fold flat or small.
Outdoor Chairs | Portable, Folding & Rocking Chairs
This is just in case the kids actually sit down. Rare. But it does happen from time to time.
Outdoor Folding Chairs Kids
The Small but Necessary Stuff
Here's my compiled list for sports parents that travel a lot, or have multiple long day tournaments. The Smaller but Necessary Stuff
Use this fan for you, for kids, for everyone. It can wrap around a stroller. Lightweight enough to hold. Can wrap around your tent poles. Great for days without a breeze.
AMACOOL Battery Operated Portable Clip Fan
For when you just need to be bougie and have a moms fan. Throw it right in your purse. Make sure you grab a rechargeable one.
The Best Handheld Fans to Help You Through This Heatwave
These fit right in the cooler to keep fruit cold. Or to bring in the side with pretzels, nuts, or other dry snacks.
Snack Boxes for Kids | Reusable & Durable Containers for Toddlers
Sip it, Chug it whatever you want to do. Keeps water cold for hours. Tons of different sizes for the whole family. The new version even has a lock to make them leak proof!! Plus they are fun colors and fit in a cup holder.
Owala®
This is great for the kids to sit and do craft stuff, eat, nap, you name it. Fits nicely under the tent as well.
Picnic Blanket
Grab a speaker you can clip to the stroller or tent. We use it for in between games/lunch time. High vibes going.
Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers - JBL
The Personal Stuff
This is all the things I will either throw in my purse or a separate bag.
Lip SPF. It's a must. And this brand even has some tinted color options. SPF 30 and it smells minty.
Sunscreen Lip Balm - Lip Visor Sunscreen SPF 30
I love all the sun options three wellness store has to offer. Sunscreen spray and cream (smells so good), spf chapstick, spf face, and after sun care. You have to be a member though.
Sun Shades® Sunscreen 2-Pack
In case you want a better facial sunscreen option. I like the tinted version.
Sunscreens
Nice non toxic sunscreen option for the kids. Has cream and spray. My kids are fond of the facial stick instead of me spraying them in the face lol.
Blue Lizard Kids Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion
I love this thing. It stays packed. So many compartments but also folds nicely and can fit in a suitcase.
Hanging Toiletry Bag
I use one of these small bags as my catch all. Things I pack last minute, or had to grab quick like chargers, perfume, any makeup, etc.
Premium Everyday & Travel Bags, Backpacks, Laptop Bags
Time to Swim
A hotel with a pool is a non negotiable for us. This bag stays packed and ready.
These clear bags are cute but they are also great for the water. Find one that also comes with a waterproof phone bag.
Clear Beach Bags
My kids love these. No hair pulling, and they can clip them themselves. They come in a small container and we keep that to store them best.
Clip On Goggles Children
Literally anything to keep them busy for hours. Basically a giant bathtub for them.
Pool Toys - Swimming Pool & Outdoor Water Toys
These towels (even the kids) are HUGE. Very thick. Soft but actually grabs the water. I roll these up tight to fit in our bag.
Beach Towels - Costco Wholesale
For the Kids
If you have multiple kids like me the other kids need something to do. Most of the time you can catch them being feral out in a field but when they need to stay close here's what we got.
Bubbles are always a hit. No matter the age. And if they dunno then out then that's over haha.
Bubbles For Toddlers
Anything that won't blow away. That will keep them busy. And that they can share with others.
Travel Toys For 6 Year Olds
Easy for kids to draw/ color without chasing down paper. Or keeping track of 100 broken crayons.
