Top 10 Essential Items Needed on Your Next Family Road Trip

With spring and summer break fast approaching, families are in gear now planning and getting ready for their vacation getaways.


If your family is heading on a road trip soon, I have a list of road trip essentials that will help you survive your next travel adventure.


I received Disney and Pixar ONWARD survival kit that included fun and essential items needed for road trips, from entertainment items, keeping comfortable and cozy, and a vital must-have kit in case of an emergency.

Top 10 Essential Items Needed on Your Next Family Road Trip

Top 10 Essential Items Needed on Your Next Family Road Trip


1. World's Best Fleece Travel Blanket- During a long road trip, and if you're the passenger in the car, making sure you're comfortable is vital.  Have a warm fleece blanket can help make the drive a more enjoyable experience and help catch some Zzz's so you wake up refreshed and ready for a relaxing vacation.  Also, if you travel by air, it's best to have your own blanket then use the ones provided by the airlines because those don't get wash between flights.


2. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen- During those warmer months on vacation, you'll be outside more, so having sunscreen is a must. Especially since the sun rays are more harmful during that time.


3. Anntrue Collapsible Portable Food-Grade Silicone Travel Water Bottle- Make sure always to have a reusable water bottle handy.  And this bottle is collapsible, making it easy to store it in your travel bag.


4. Family Talk Cards- This fun set of cards are questions to get the whole family talking.  It's portable, thought-provoking excitement.  Get off the electronics and have fun, bonding moments with the family.  Isn't that what a family trip suppose to be like, right?


5. QuickSnap Flash FujiFilm Camera- Nothing beats a classic disposable camera.  Take quick snap photos, get the film developed, seeing how all the pictures turn out just like old times!


6. First Aid Kit- Accidents and medical emergencies can happen during road trips, so having a first aid kit packed with you is imperative.


7. Scavenger Hunt for Kids Travel Card Game- Cure road trip boredom by having a scavenger hunt with your kids.  Have them find different things during the drive that's on the cards.


8. MMobiel Car Charger- It's nothing worse than to have your electronics without any battery life left.  This car charger has four USB ports being able to charge four different electronics at a time. Perfect for older cars that don't have a lot of charging ports.


9. Jack Link's Original Beef Jerky- Curve your appetite by having a beef jerky snack.  Beef Jerky is a substantial go-to snack for all road trips.


10. Eco Smart Tote Bag- When on the go, use this environment-friendly tote page to carry all your essential items.


Make sure to pack these road trip essentials for your next family vacation.  


And also, make sure to see Disney/Pixar Onward coming to theaters March 6th.

Disney and Pixar ONWARD

Disney and Pixar ONWARD


When teenage elf brothers Ian and Barley Lightfoot (voices of Tom Holland and Chris Pratt) get an unexpected opportunity to spend one more day with their late dad, they embark on an extraordinary quest aboard Barley’s epic van Guinevere. Like any good quest, their journey is filled with magic spells, cryptic maps, impossible obstacles, and unimaginable discoveries. But when the boys’ fearless mom Laurel (voice of Julia Louis-Dreyfus) realizes her sons are missing, she teams up with a part-lion, part-bat, part-scorpion, former warrior – aka The Manticore (voice of Octavia Spencer) – and heads off to find them. Perilous curses aside, this one magical day could mean more than any of them ever dreamed. Directed by Dan Scanlon and produced by Kori Rae, Disney and Pixar’s “Onward” opens in U.S. theaters on March 6, 2020.
