Travel Prime Day Deals 2024
Here are a ton of really good deals on items we use and love – I hope it saves you some money while addressing a need. They’re perfect for an upcoming trip, to save for winter holiday gifts, adding to a friend birthday gift bin (I hate having to run out for a gift last minute!), or holding onto for a special summer day.
Travel Items
Universal Travel Adapter – A must if you travel internationally – we have several we always take. Love that this one has USB & USB-C ports, too.
Lightweight expandable suitcase – durable and doesn’t use up a ton of weight for the suitcase itself. We’ve used in both carry on and checked sizes for years.
AirFly Duo – my fave device for being able to listen to an airplane movie with my own wireless headphones. The Duo (for 2 sets of headphones) is on big sale!
Packing Cubes – a great price on this set that are sturdy with good zippers. A packing non-negotiable for us!
Portable Jump Starter – an absolute must for every single car, especially if you’ll be on a road trip (but we keep one in ours for everyday). So helpful in an emergency.
Portable Tire Inflator / Air Compressor – amazing deal on this one that we love and that has saved us more than once when we’ve had a flat on the road. 88k positive reviews don’t lie.
Boba Air lightweight baby carrier – an absolutely smoking deal for our favorite travel carrier – weighs less than a pound and folds up into a small pouch
Car seat luggage strap – This strap is so simple but amazing for attaching your car seat to a suitcase to make it easy to get it through the airport
Bubblebum Inflatable Booster – this is super convenient and lightweight and perfect to keep kiddos safe in the car when traveling. Really good deal.
Kids Kindle– An absolute MUST for us, both at home and while traveling. The Kids version is the exact same as the regular version but comes with a case and Kindle Unlimited.
Yoto Mini – absolutely love this little audiobook player at home & especially when traveling. Comes with a starter pack of cards. (You can also purchase directly from the Yoto website where they’re matching the discount.)
Visual timer – We use these all the time for music practice, clean up, screens, and more.
Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza – One of our VERY favorite family games and perfect for travel. Says ages 8+ but we’ve had kids as young as 3 play and enjoy it.
LCD Drawing Tablet – These are so great for travel – my kids use them constantly. Under $3 each – grab extra for gifts!
Mini magnetic tiles – we love the regular version at home, and the minis are perfect for travel. Great deal and would make a perfect gift.
Door Stop Alarm – we once had a toddler manage to get out of a hotel room in the wee hours of the morning. Fortunately, everything was fine, but having one of these is a very good idea.
Outdoor Gear
Camelbak Mini Mule – LOVE this little hydration backpack for my younger kiddos (starting around age 3 or 4) or even for myself if I just need to carry some water and snacks on a trail.
Minimal belt bag diaper bag – My very favorite bag for travel. Small and compact but has a compartment for wet wipes, fold-out changing pad, credit card slots, room for snacks/sunglasses/etc.
Wrap-front swimsuit – One of my top 3 swimsuits that I’ve worn super frequently for the last 4 years and it’s held up great. I have the orange color block version.
Half-sleeve midi dress – I adore this dress and have had it in navy & green for a couple years. This is the lowest price I’ve seen!
BEST pillow in all the land – I seriously love this thing so much. I’ve had mine for years and brought it with me to London because it’s just that good. Truly life changing.
50% off annual Walmart+ membership! We’ve used this for years for grocery delivery and it’s worth its weight in gold. (They also have the same prices as in store for their delivered items, unlike many other retailers.)
