With kids cameras being affordable and with a waterproof case, you don’t have to worry about giving your expensive equipment to the little ones. They can take it to the beach, the pool and around all the amazing sights in Tonga. We recommend getting a camera with a viewing screen on the back, as kids love checking out their snaps instantly!

Featuring a fun child-friendly interface and peace of mind for parents, child locator watches are worth considering. While watches like the OJOY Kids Smart Watch comes brimming with features, from calendar activities with school/after-school events, stopwatch, step count and simple phone to call/text each other, what we like the most is the GPS tracker, which you can use to locate your child on your phone.

An alternative GPS tracker, the Tile GPS Tracker is subtle, simple and affordable. Just attach it to your kid’s bag or clothes and you’ll be able to locate them on your phone with a map. Even within a 60m (200ft) range, you’ll be able to ring the Tile to find it! When you’re not using it on the kids, you can use it on your car keys!

Holidays are about spending quality family time, but instead of having heads down on phones during your downtime, get together with a family-friendly game! Some family favourites include Uno and Connect 4 Grab & Go! What’s more, these games are compact and easy to travel with.

A must-have for parents travelling with babies is a lightweight fold-up travel stroller. Don’t worry about paying for extra luggage or feeling like you have too much to juggle if you take a travel stroller. We like these travel strollers from Mutsy, which fold up to an incredibly small size and only weigh 9.5kg / 20.9lbs.

Something suitable for the whole family, don’t take any chances with the drinking water by packing a Lifestraw Bottle. While we don’t recommend drinking tap water in Tonga, we do recommend drinking tap water through a Lifestraw Bottle that removes 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria, and 99.9% of waterborne protozoan parasites without chemicals, iodine or batteries. They come in a range of fun colours for the kids.

Needless to say, you’re sure to be out on the water when exploring Tonga. Kayaking, whale watching, snorkelling tours, ferry crossings are just some of the ways that you’ll be enjoying the beautiful waters of Tonga. Unfortunately, not all operators or resorts have child-size jackets available, so if you plan to get out on the water and you’re not sure that your chosen watersports operator has children’s lifejackets, be sure to take some with you!
On a similar note, think about kids snorkel gears so get the best underwater experience possible on Tonga.

While not exactly a gadget, it’s definitely worth mentioning the different types of sunscreen and insect repellent available for children. Protect your loved ones from the sun with sunscreen that’s safe for young skin. Environmentally friendly sunscreens with natural mineral ingredients are a good way to go, which don’t use any harsh chemicals. Additionally, there is a large range of products that can protect your children from mosquito bites without using harmful chemicals like DEET.

[Update: After testing and trialling these products, we’ve found that finding a suitable place to wash reusable diapers can be tricky abroad compared to using reusable diapers at home].
Travelling with babies or potty-training toddlers can be tricky, especially when you’re trying to pack light! While nappies/diapers are readily available in supermarkets in Tonga’s most developed islands, like Vava’u and Tongatapu, getting diapers can be a little more challenging in more remote islands. Get prepared for beach time with some swim nappies, like these reusable swim diaper training pants.
