Traveling with kids can be fun and rewarding as a parent. It’s when you get to explore the world together, sharing meaningful experiences that strengthen family bonds. But let’s be real: It can also be super challenging when unexpected delays, schedule changes, and long travel days test the patience of even the most well-behaved kids. The best you can do is to be prepared and have all the things ready to help them be comfortable until you reach your destination.

One of those must-pack items is a great kids’ travel pillow. Seasoned parents know they can make a huge difference for a child while traveling. Whether it’s to take a nap on the plane, train or car without doing that whole awkward chin to chest thing, or just to have a soft place to lean on when caught in an unexpected delay at the airport, they’re a family travel must-have. Luckily parents don’t have to break the bank to get a high quality neck pillow. We’ve rounded up the top-rated kids neck pillows on Amazon — all under $20, and at these price points, we’ll definitely be stocking up on one for each kid in the family.

This travel pillow is ergonomically designed to offer 360-degree support for the head and neck. It has a slow resilience memory foam that uses the 3-second return technology. This means it can perfectly fit the neck and prevent the head from falling forward. This helps keep young necks in the correct posture when sleeping or sitting upright and prevents sore necks. It’s amazing for long journeys like trains, buses, or planes, and best of all, compresses to half its size in a storage bag, which makes it super easy to carry and doesn’t take up too much room.

One reviewer raved that she bought this pillow for her 6-year-old for a long flight and that “she slept like a dream on the plane” and still uses it for long road trips. The Urnexttour travel pillow also comes with a cute dinosaur eye mask and  earplugs to really ensure restful slumber.
