Tips for Road Trip Packing Road Trip Essentials for Kids

1. Pack Everything In Clear Bins!

Talk about a complete game changer for us. These are road trip essentials for adults and kids alike! Each kiddo gets a bin for their clothes, then we pack by need/ or room. i.e. snacks and food in one bin, activities in another, etc. I like to make a list before packing our bins so that we don’t miss anything!

2. Use Packing Cubes And Vertical Hanging Storage

This makes unpacking and settling into our new space a breeze. I love the vertical hanging shelves because we can just move them right into a closet space. Another space saver are these Backseat Car Organizers.

3. Car Desks For Each Kiddo

Each child having a desk for the car makes a world of difference I think these are road trip essentials for toddlers. Art projects, reading, snack time, activities are all so much easier with a lap desk like this Kids Travel Activity Tray.

4. Car Activities And Snacks

We make sure to pack plenty to occupy the kiddos, to make car rides fun and to keep them busy like this Travel Bingo! I stock up on books and games that are age appropriate for road trip essentials for all ages! Some of our favorites include iSpy Travel Card Game we also love this Electronic Drawing Board  and Hidden Pictures Sticker Fun Books!

Leave no dull moment along the roadside! Keep your merry adventurers entertained with a charm-filled collection of road trip games. From “I Spy” to the timeless classic “Twenty Questions,” these games will bring laughter, joy, and a touch of whimsy to your journey. Who knows, maybe you’ll discover a hidden talent for rhyming or a knack for car karaoke!

5.  Master The Art Of List-Making Magic

To kick off our whimsical road trip preparations, we need the ultimate list – a treasure trove of everything you need to pack. Include essentials like snacks, sunscreen, and silly hats to make those unexpected stops even more memorable. Remember, the more detailed your list, the less likely you are to forget any necessities!

I really think that being prepared makes our road trips simpler and more enjoyable for all! Taking a few steps ahead of time to plan ahead, is well worth it!
