Our Guide to Road Trips with Kids

A road trip is one of the best ways to bond as a family—freedom, flexibility, and plenty of snacks. But traveling with little ones means being ready for anything, from spills and snack breaks to sudden changes and diaper emergencies. This guide highlights the J.L. Childress essentials that make every mile more manageable and a lot more enjoyable.

Keep things organized and within reach with the Backseat Butler Car Organizer. With compartments for snacks, toys, wipes, and more, it turns your backseat into a kid-friendly command center. Mealtime stops or picnic breaks are cleaner and more fun with ColorMe Disposable Placemats and Disposable High Chair Covers—both designed for restaurant use or roadside dining.

For diapering on the go, the Pockets 'N Pad Diapering Station keeps everything in one slim, easy-to-access pouch, making quick changes a breeze whether you’re at a rest stop or pulled over at a scenic overlook. Need to bring along plenty of milk, drinks, or snacks? The 6 Bottle Cooler gives you ample insulated space to keep everything cool, organized, and ready when you need it.

And when it’s time to keep kids entertained between stops, the 3-IN-1 Toddler Travel Tray & Tablet Holder transforms their seat into a mini play station. It’s great for drawing, snacking, or watching favorite shows—keeping backseat boredom at bay.

From start to finish, this kit of road-ready favorites ensures your family adventure runs smoother—and happier—with fewer messes, more smiles, and better memories.
