Best Travel Gear for Families on the Go

Set your little globetrotters up for successful (and fun-filled!) travels by giving them lots to do along the way. The Star Kids snack and play travel tray provides a sturdy surface for toys, crayons, travel games and snacks. It’s made of soft, durable, 100 percent nylon with soft foam reinforcement that folds on impact. Easy and safe to use, it is also washable.

Kenly Kids offer a slightly swankier version that comes in a few different patterns. It also has a tablet holder and collapses into a stylish bag with an adjustable shoulder strap.  

Why we love these products: These car trays are a godsend for long car rides, and the large pockets on each side can hold a lot of goodies for those kiddos with short attention spans. Also, the side walls prevent things from falling off the tray (and parents having to crane into the backseat to retrieve them).

Best for: Road trips, airplanes.
