Kids Travel Gadgets for Fun Summer Travel

Kids Travel Gadgets for Fun Summer Travel

This week I realized I have not done a kids gadgets post in awhile. I was reminded by my co-worker when she was describing how they are getting their 6 months old daughter accustomed to travel. They started with a couple of short trips and when she did well on those, they took her on a longer journey. Large percentage of time kids and travel go together. And they have many of the same needs that adults have plus more. They are quite discerning travelers and don't hesitate to tell everyone what is what. Kids Say the Darndest Things
To keep them busy and entertained this summer travel season, here are some useful and fun travel gadgets:

Seat Pets

These fun looking animals are actually seat belt pads. They slip onto a belt and provide cushioning for the little voyagers. These particular Seat Pets are great as their head also can act as pillows for the kids to nod off. More comfy they are in the back, hopefully, they would less fussy too. The Pets also come with a pocket where they can store water bottles, their handheld gadgets, and snacks. Seat Pets

Kindle Fire (with kid-friendly new features)
Kindle is one of the best travel gadgets. Easily store and access multiple books without having to actually drag them around. It is a great device to keep kids entertained with books, videos, and games. However, these new versions also allow web access and can lead to many hours spent on it. With Kindle FreeTime, you can set daily screen limits, and give access to each chilp appropriate to their age. When kids are in Kindle FreeTime mode, the background color and fonts change to a kid-friendly design. Kids only see titles that have been selected for them.

Travel Video of the Week - 8 must-have travel gadgets

8 must-have travel gadgets

Many summers ago, I went swimming in the pool and, unfortunately, so did my phone. It was an older version flip phone. It did not make it. Nowadays, I have my iPhone. And like most folks and their smartphones that contain a bunch of stuff saved on there, I would like to keep it safe and dry. Lifeproof LifeJacket case, as shown in the video above, is supposed to do just that.

WaterBuoy is a new cool gadget that would be great to take with you when traveling to destinations with bodies of water. If you drop something into the water, the trigger is activated, the gas is released into the balloon, giving Waterbuoy its buoyancy. It stays inflated for up to 24 hours so that you can find it as it is floating around. The balloon is bright orange and it also lights up so you can see it from a distance. Just make sure if you do go swimming with some stuff with you, especially those with electronic components, make sure you have a waterproof case.

 

Another travel gadget great for the beach is the The Beach Towel Clip. It keeps your beach towel in place and from flying away or rolling away while lounging around. No more searching for stones on the beach. No more using flip flops and water bottles to keep your towel flat.
