We’re a team of chugging around on an Amtrak train, it’s the key to a stress-free travel experience. So, to help you make sure that all the bases are covered, we’ve compiled one for you. Our 100 picks have been obsessively vetted by Strategist staffers, as well as flight attendants, touring musicians, and stylish globe-trotters who’ve let us steal their vacation itineraries. We stand by them for all sorts of trips, from family weekends away to destination weddings to sneaky interstate remote-work stints.
When first pulling together this list, we identified the best versions of obvious travel staples: blackout avoid a hefty carry-on fee at the airport. And there are plenty more of those convenient travel hacks, too. Look out for a collapsible traveling with kids, there’s a lightweight baby bed that folds down like a tent, as well as a stroller that can be carried onto the plane. We’ve even found the easiest ways to do laundry on the road.
When making our final cuts, we kept those travel products that were most affordable and compact. Scroll through and figure out which ones will fit in your packing cubes. (And if you don’t have packing cubes yet, we’ve included some expert-recommended ones.)
