Headphones are a no-brainer for most trips, since many kids will play games or watch movies or shows on a portable device and parents don’t want to hear it all. For kids, especially young ones, try a pair of CozyPhones.

Made of soft, fleecy material, they fold up for easy portability, there are no uncomfortable earbuds or bulky headphones to worry about and they don't get in the way of car seats. The company says the volume is limited to 85 decibels.

They come in adorable designs (check out the unicorn!) and are an incredibly practical solution for on-the-go audio. They are comfortable enough for children to fall asleep wearing them (if you get that lucky) and even work as a sleep mask.

2. A portable Wi-Fi hotspot

Try the Roaming Man Wi-Fi, from $7.99 per day

Whether it's for safety and security reasons, or because you don't want to be without "YouTube Kids", connectivity is important to all families. Ensure you can stay hooked up to the web with the portable Roaming Man solution.

With one of Roaming Man's G3 devices -- and buying into their 4G Wi-Fi plans -- you can switch off the mobile data capabilities of your cellphone and know exactly how much connectivity is going to cost you each day.

This is a great way to avoid any scary roaming charges when you get back while still making sure you can stay connected while you're abroad. So… the only worry is -- will it be Paw Patrolor Peppa Pig?

3. A headphone splitter

Try the Belkin RockStar 5-Jack 3.5 mm Audio Headphone Splitter, $14.99

If you've got one tablet and four little ears that want to hear it, a headphone splitter is a great way to let kids share one entertainment device -- without driving the rest of the car/train/plane crazy.

If you're on 3.5mm audio then Belkin's fun RockStar offers five jacks to plug in up to five sets of headphones. If you're an Apple family and need a Lightning Audio solution, Belkin also offers a dual Lightning Audio + Charge RockStaroption for $44.99.

4. A location tracker

Try the Jiobit Location Monitor,$129.99 plus monthly subscription plan

Hopefully more of a peace-of-mind solution than something you'll ever need to use, but a portable GPS tracker can be a valuable tool if you’re planning to let your kids out of sight, or be in a place with large crowds.

Once your child is wearing the tracker, you can see their location in real-time via the companion app. Alternatively if you're at a vacation resort, a campsite or hotel complex, you can create geofences around specific locations and get notification when the Jiobit leaves certain places, so you'd know if a child left the campsite, for example.

The Jiobit solution is especially kid-friendly. The small tracker can attach to shoelaces with the tracker's built-in loop, to waistbands via the hem-lock clip, to buttonholes or belt loops via a lockable loop.

It's shock- and waterproof, offers a week's battery life and data encryption.

A portable speaker might not seem to be something for the essentials list, but it may surprise you how much you'll get out of having such a gadget on hand.

Whether it's for playing "Baby Shark" at the beach, "Summertime" by the pool, listening to an audio book around the campfire, or having handsfree Bluetooth calls with family and friends back home, a speaker will justify its weight in your suitcase.

Our recommendation is JBL's cheap and cheerful Go 2.

7. A cozy nightlight

We're highlighting a camera designed for ages 3-9 – VTech's Kidizoom Duo Selfie Camera.
