Testing Travel Gear

Our team of testers puts products to the test in the real world, using them just as you would.

For months and miles, we evaluate everything from baby travel car seats, backpack bags, kids’ luggage, airplane accessories, kids’ travel toys, and more to determine whether these items are worth the price and of high quality.

We test multiple products in the same category so we can make comparisons, giving you valuable insights into how different brands and models stack up against each other.

We take dozens of photos to show you what the product will actually look like in your home or in your hands, capturing all the important angles and details to provide you with the most information possible before you make a purchase.

We complete detailed notes tailored to the specific attributes of each product category, rating the items on criteria such as comfort, design, or battery life.

You can trust us to provide honest feedback, both positive and negative, to help you make the most informed buying decision.

We provide an overall star rating, pros and cons for each product, and direct experiences and opinions from either ourselves or from other experience family travel bloggers.
