After plenty of road trips, national park adventures, amusement park days, hikes, and weekend getaways with my kids, I’ve figured out which travel products we actually use—and which ones are worth packing.
These are my tried-and-true travel favorites: the things that make traveling, exploring, and long days on the road a little easier.
I’ve organized everything into collections below so you can easily find what you’re looking for.
🧳 Travel Essentials
The travel gear and little conveniences that have earned a permanent place on our packing list.
⭐ A Few Favorites I Personally Use
My Everyday Adventure Bag
This Nike bag comes along on trip after trip—from amusement parks to hikes and road trips. I have the medium, which holds plenty, but I’d probably choose the small specifically for roller-coaster days. I especially love how easy it is to clean.

🧳 My Carry-On Luggage & Personal Item
For our trip out West, I used this LOVEVOOK carry-on suitcase with the matching backpack, and they worked perfectly as my carry-on and personal item. The backpack kept everything I needed during our flights handy, while the suitcase had plenty of room for the rest. I’d absolutely travel with this set again!
