Family travel products

Favourite finds. Useful kit for real family adventures.

Welcome to our family travel product hub. These are the bags, swimming bits, toys, gadgets and practical finds that can make travelling with children easier, calmer and slightly less like wrestling an octopus into a suitcase.

We focus on things that solve real problems: packing chaos, long travel days, bored kids, wet swim gear, dead batteries and the eternal mystery of where the charger went.

Browse the shelves

Start with the problem. Then find the kit.

The best travel products are not always the flashiest. They are the ones that save space, keep kids entertained, dry things faster, charge things properly, or stop your bag becoming a portable junk drawer with handles.

What makes the list?

We are not here to fill your house with travel tat. These are the rules for anything that earns a place in a family bag.

  • It solves a real travel problem, not an imaginary one invented by a product photo.
  • It works for families, not just minimalist backpackers with one shirt and suspicious calm.
  • It earns the space it takes in the suitcase, car, backpack or cabin bag.
  • It helps on actual travel days, when everyone is tired, hungry and looking for the charger.

The Fire TV Stick 4K

£39.99 at time of publishing. The Fire TV Stick 4K has been a game-changer for us as we prep for our travels. It keeps the kids entertained with their favorite shows, and it’s super easy to set up on any TV. Plus, with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, I’ve been sneaking in some gaming time after the kids are in bed no need for a console anymore, cloud gaming!

BANBALOO Bed Bumper Guard

£29.99 at the time of publishing. BANBALOO Bed Bumper for Toddlers Inflatable Model Baby and Toddler Anti Fall Barrier Lightweight Bed Bumper for Twin Double Queen and King Size Bed Guard for Kids Bed Protector

Apple AirTag, Track your luggage!

£28 at time of publishing, track and find your keys, wallet, luggage, backpack and more. Apple AirTags are small, lightweight tracking devices that can be used to track lost items. They are compatible with all iPhones and iPads running iOS 14.5 or later. AirTags use a combination of Bluetooth, Ultra Wideband, and the Find My network to help you locate your lost items. To use an AirTag, simply attach it to the item you want to track and add it to the Find My app

DJI Mini 2 SE, Mini Camera Drone

£269.00 at time of plubshing. All our drone videos have been taken with this and its fantasitc. The camera on this thing is amazing, its so easy to fly and along with the crisp stabilization of the video feed creating magic moments is simple. The only downside to having a pocket drone is the wind. But even with that being said it still flies pretty well in 10-15+mph winds.

White Noise Machine – Portable

£24.99 at time of publishing, My first impression was how something so tiny could be effective. It really is small! It can fit in the palm of your hand and so is fantastic for travelling! Although it’s tiny, that doesn’t compromise on the sound quality and it’s as good as our much larger white noise machine we have - it runs for hours off mains or a battery charger but overnight id plug it in!

Keyring Torch with Clip

£18.99 at time of publishing. Keyring Torch, what can i saym this is a great little torch and very bright especially with both front lights turned on. The tiny strobe light at front will no doubt have use at some point. Holds charge well and is very robust.

Instant Print Camera

£38.88 at time of posing. This is a fun instant print camera enables you to to take photos and print out instantly to the paper roll, it has no ink just thermal printer paper which is super cheap, Georgia thinks its amazing fun and so do we!

LCD Writing Tablet, 8.5 Inch

£6.99 at time of Publish! This is a great toy for messy little artists! Very easy to use, and works absolutely fine. After a month of crazy use (its been stepped on, thrown at the wall and splashed with water) it’s still in a great condition. It comes with two packs of stickers, extra batteries and a little screw driver. I would say it’s a great value for money!

Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Pro tablet

£149.99 at time of publishing. This can give up to 13 hours of battery life, Easy-to-use parental controls so that children can request content from a digital shop where they can request games and books | you can approve purchases and downloads using the online Parent Dashboard.
Quick honest note: prices, availability, product details and age suitability can change. Always check the current product page, safety guidance, sizing, delivery location and airline rules before buying or packing anything for a trip.

Family. Chaos. Better kit.

The right product will not make travel perfect. Nothing can. But it can make a journey easier, a bag calmer, a child happier, or a tired parent slightly less likely to mutter into a suitcase.

Built from real family travel, overpacked bags, missing chargers and the noble quest to make travel days easier.
