Travel Essentials for Kids

THE APPROACHING HOLIDAY SEASON MEANS traveling for most families. Those with the littlest of the kiddos may have never traveled with their kids in a substantial way and have missed out on the “easing into it.” For these folks and everyone, we’ve created a list of our favorite things that make traveling with kids in tow easier and more fun.

LunchBots Quad Snack Container Buy local: JAX in Fort Collins

Any parent knows that having snacks at the ready is a must.

Highlights Travel Games Buy Local: Your local Barnes & Noble

An occupied and thinking child is (usually) a quiet and calm child. This portable puzzle book with a built-in spinner is a brand-new way to enjoy Highlights activities and games of all kinds. It is designed for one or multiple players, kids can play more than 20 games—from Hidden Pictures® puzzles to fill-in story challenges to silly brain-teaser games— with this innovative puzzle book that includes a built-in spinner. It’s perfect to take along on airplane or car trips.

Razor Scooter Buy local: Sheels in Johnstown

It may be a cliché, but the razor scooter is a classic because it’s basically good in every way. The thing people too often forget about it that it’s collapsible and therefore can be packed easily in most any suitcase—including a carry on.

Kids (and adults!!) can ride razor scooters most anywhere: ocean boardwalks, city sidewalks, paved campgrounds, airports, and sometimes even in hotel hallways. They are light and fun and a sure way your kids can stay busy and play and get exercise while your family is on the move!
