Listicles

When traveling with the family, having your essentials on hand and safe is a must. Accessorize smarter with these hands-free, secure, stylish-meets-functional accessories for your next trip.

For Teens to Parents

Bandolier

Shop more than 200 designs of iPhone strapped cases for hands -ree access while traveling. Free up room in your pockets, purse or carry-on while having easy access to your phone, ID and cards. Place your iPhone 6–8 in the leather case with any important cards you want to bring with you.

 

The Bandolier iPhone case comes in a variety of colors and designs with a strap and snapback case to conceal personal items. Have your phone and cards handy to use, but strapped like a cross body for security while traveling. Remove the strap and tuck the phone away, or add the strap and carry your important items on the go.

 

For something less stylish and more grab and go, try the travel wallet. The all-purpose carry-all transports your passport, ID, credit cards, cash and any other small essentials in a well-hidden wallet. This anti-theft device is designed for everyone.

 

Headphones

Headphones can prove helpful in any travel situation, but the added convenience of the retractable pair is ideal for families. Cut time finding, untangling and rewrapping headphones and keep everything organized in your bag or pocket with retractable headphones. They’re small, affordable and highly functional for travelers.

For Kids

Bubble Bum

Traveling with kids opens up a world of travel needs you never knew existed. For dining in restaurants, rental cars or just whenever you are generally out of your comfort zone, the Bubble Bum is an inflatable booster seat you can bring with you for your growing family.

 

Whether you’re between car seats or just find yourselves in a less family-friendly restaurant, the Bubble Bum can be puffed into action or tucked down for compact packing.

 

Allergy Translation Card

Children with allergies seem to make up the majority of their age group, making allergy translation cards all the more important while traveling. Use the card while traveling internationally to help translate what your children can or can’t eat with foreign restaurants and airlines. Instantly download the card, complete with 200 allergen translations in more than 43 languages, and print the information or store it on your device.
