    20 Target Products For Parents To Pack On Their Next Trip With Their Kid

    Turning that trip into a vacation one step at a time.

    1. A travel bottle-warming system that's perfect for heating up bottles on-the-go. This system comes with an insulated flask for storing hot water and a plastic container to warm the bottle securely. It's also leak-proof so you can travel confidently. This is perfect for both roadtrips and air travel — making one ordeal significantly less difficult.

    4. A set of high-quality wireless headphones that can hold a charge for eight hours — leaving you with a little bit of peace on a long journey. These are compatible with both Apple and Android products and even connects to the "Find My" feature on Apple products for when you're in the airport and your kid JUST HAD THEM.

    5. And a portable charger to keep your phone charged even after your flight is inexplicably delayed. The charger can charge up to three devices at once!

    6. A back-of-the-seat organizer to keep everything handy for a long roadtrip. This organizer fits a tablet, water bottle, snacks, and toys for easy access in between yet another "are we there yet nnnnooooowwww??"

    7. A leak-proof lunchbox to keep snacks secured and ready-to-go. The compartments make it super easy to pack a variety of snacks in case the applesauce they loved yesterday is a no-go today.

    8. A bag of lollipops, which are the ultimate travel hack. Scoffers be amazed: Sucking on lollipops helps ears pop on the descent, keeps kids occupied for fairly long stretches, and are universally adored. And grab one for yourself for a good dose of nostalgia on an otherwise long day.

    9. A portable potty for roadtrips where "rest stop" cannot come up fast enough on your maps app. For extra ease, you can line it with a bag and throw away the *deposit* quickly and easily.

    10. A lightweight umbrella stroller that won't take up much trunk space and is also easy to gate check. Reviewers love how easy it is to fold up and that it has cup holders, too!

    11. A car seat travel bag that makes getting the car seat to check-in significantly easier and keeps all of the parts together once it's checked. This is also awesome if you plan on keeping your child in a car seat during the flight, but have no idea how to handle wandering around the airport during a layover.

    12. An LCD writing tablet and doodle pad that gives your kid something to do without having to keep track of 47 crayons, 12 markers, and tons of wasted paper. This thing will make reaching for a crayon on a turn, only to see it roll into the depths of your car, a thing of the past.

    13. A portable sound machine that packs easily and comes with batteries that last a long time. This is a great travel companion for kids who do better with a little white noise as they sleep.

    14. An activity journal full of roadtrip games and activities for some screen-free fun for your kiddos. It has over 100 options to choose from so it'll last even during the longest of roadtrips!

    15. A Magnetic by Number coloring toy to keep kids occupied without losing a million pieces. These are especially great for air travel because everyone will thank you for not bringing a toy with buzzers and sirens onto a three-hour flight with nowhere to escape.

    16. AND a set of reusable sticker books for even more quiet, imaginative play. Plus, these stickers don't actually leave behind sticky messes, so you won't be apologetically peeling them off of a window, fearing the judgment of the masses.

    19. A pop-up high chair for easy dining options wherever you're staying. It also comes with a pouch for storing utensils, wipes, or whatever else your baby needs to eat happily. It fits kids up to 45 pounds, so you can use this for any baby or toddler who prefers a secure place to eat.

    20. A box of pocket-sized, individually wrapped antibacterial wipes because nothing says vacation like your toddler licking everything in sight at the amusement park. Sure, you can't disinfect the world, but you can give a good wipe down to areas you know are going to be touched a lot. They're also great to keep around in case your toddler touches gum, finds mud, or gives you any number of reasons to desperately look for a sink and soap.
