Best Travel Product (For Children) | Junior Design Awards 2024

These award winning travel products for children will make travelling a whole lot more fun for them (and stress free for us parents!)

Winner:GOLD Best Travel Product (For Children)

Who:Micro Scooters

What:Mini Micro Scooter Suitcase with Light Up Wheels

Why:

This scooter with roomy suitcase attached was a huge hit at the JDA judging days. In
fact, all the kids attending our judging days immediately jump on it! Our judges could see that this scooter would make the perfect travel companion for kids, giving them a sense of independence and something to entertain them along the way while taking the strain off their legs. When it’s time to embark on your plane or train, the scooter simply folds down making it easy to store in overhead compartments

This will make parents lives so much easier while kids enjoy the ride. Great that it stays standing up even when it’s not being ridden.

Clever, multitasking design that makes travelling with young kids easier.

Zoey Goto, travel writer and author, @zoeygoto

Great style for on the go! No more tired feet. Love how the scooter aspect doesn’t compromise the space in the suitcase. A great innovative solution making travel easier and fun!

Jennifer Cattaui, Founder of Babesta, New York, @babesta

This is such a great invention. The suitcase is super roomy and I love the light-up wheels for high-vis rizz*. *sorry kids.

Winner:SILVER Best Travel Product (For Children)

Who:Rockit

What:Wooshh by Rockit

Why:

Our judges could tell that the Wooshh had been designed with a real understanding of
the needs of parents with hard-to-settle sleepers and children who like the reassurance of gentle shushing noises. The panel loved the cute mini rocket design , the handy clip that enables it to be attached to a cot or buggy and the mighty ten-hour battery life, meaning no middle-of-the-night panic when a constant stream of shush is paramount.

You can tell that this product has been designed by parents in the know. A brilliant piece of kit that will help soothe kids to sleep.

Bonita Turner, Editor of Junior, @juniormagazineonline

An actual pocket rocket that is so handy for parents on the move. Love the cute design that kids will love.

Eleonore Crompton, Deputy Editor, Junior @juniormagazineonline

I am a big fan of sound soothers and usually try to pack a larger machine into our suitcase while travelling - this is such a great alternative! I would definitely use this product.

Winner:BRONZE Best Travel Product (For Children)

Who:Sleepytroll

What:Sleepytroll Baby Rocker

Why:

This brilliant gadget that automatically rocks strollers, cribs, buggies or bouncers
really excited our judges who knew how incredibly helpful it would be to tired parents of babies who rely on motion to soothe them to sleep. Compact in size and easily attached to the side of a cot or the handle of a buggy – wherever your baby is sleeping – this product felt intuitively designed and super easy to use, especially with its remote control app.

A clever product that will help soothe babies and keep the peace in many a home.

Bonita Turner, Editor of Junior, @juniormagazineonline

For anyone who cannot put their baby down to sleep this will be a game changer. I wish this had been around when I had wrist strain from rocking my buggy in the living room all night long!

Eleonore Crompton, Deputy Editor, Junior, @juniormagazineonline

Great to be controlled by an app. 3 hours of extended battery life makes this easy to maintain as well.

Jennifer Cattaui, founder of Babesta, New York, @babesta

Such a great idea! I love that it allows babies to sleep for longer and parents to rest too.
