Whether it is a camping experience out of the city, or a vacation abroad, planning a family adventure is a great way to support your kids’ growth. Traveling gives your children the opportunity to learn new things and visit new places. From interrailing around Europe on a budget to flying with Jettly to a dream destination, all vacations create new and special memories. And if you want to have the best experience possible, it always helps to bring a few handy tools and accessories along!
Below, we’ve listed a few of the best gadgets you can buy to aid you on your next family adventure.
Mirrorless Cameras
These days, the perception is that smartphone cameras have nearly eliminated the need to lug around bulky DSLRs. Phone cameras are convenient, easy to use, and take photos of a decent enough quality. However, if you want to take your photography to the next level (and really capture those memories), it might be wiser to opt for a mirrorless camera, such as a Nikon Z 9 or Canon EOS. Like DSLRs, mirrorless cameras can take professional-quality photos. However, they’re called “mirrorless” because they lack the heavy mirror mechanism found in DSLRs –– which makes them lighter and more suitable for travel.
International Portable Wi-Fi
To keep your kids entertained during lull periods (waiting in airports, long car rides, etc.) you can rent or purchase a portable Wi-Fi hotspot. Aside from saving your children from boredom, portable Wi-Fi hotspots will also help you access useful information on the go –– such as translations, directions, and information about destinations. With this kind of information at hand via hotspot, you also don’t need to drain your phone’s battery using its built-in mobile hotspot. Nor do you need to scout public Wi-Fi hotspots, which leave your devices vulnerable to hackers and cybercriminals. There are plenty of affordable options available, too, such as the Urozetta Portable and TP-Link M7350.
Universal Adapter

Protective Phone Case
It goes without saying that travel involves a lot of moving around. And no matter how careful you are with your devices, accidents do happen. For the simple reason, it’s wise to mitigate the risk of hardware damage by placing your smartphone in a protective case. Phone cases made out of silicone or rubber can absorb shock in the event that your phone falls. If you’re confident about your carefulness, a translucent slim case may help keep your phone safe from bumps and scratches. And on top of these considerations (protection comes first), you might consider a battery case as well. These are a little more expensive, but it’s awfully nice to have the extra juice while you’re navigating a travel destination.
Traveling with your kids is memorable and rewarding no matter how you go about it. But with some of these tools and gadgets in hand, you’ll be able to make the experience smoother and more satisfying for all involved. And, if you’re going fishing or boating, be sure to be prepared with boat parts and accessories. Happy travels!
