As we age, our reflexes slow down, and our sense of balance diminishes. This can lead to accidents in unfamiliar surroundings – especially when we’re traveling. So it’s important to take precautions before leaving the house. Here are 20 travel accessories you’ll need when traveling to make your trip safer and more fun.
1. Travelpro Maxlite Underseater Carry-on

A book light is essential for avid road-trip readers since you can never be sure about the lighting on the road. The Glocusent book light is ideal for seniors since it maintains an appropriate level of light on the page at all times.

10. Fitbit Versa 3
The Fitbit Versa smartwatch is an excellent wearable for seniors, and one that we recommend. It’s an excellent choice for seniors who want to keep close tabs on their heart rate, oxygen, and other vital signs.
12. Travel Blanket
A travel blanket is a great accessory when traveling for added comfort and warmth. As we age, our body temperature regulation can decrease making us more susceptible to feeling cold. A travel blanket can also serve as a comforting reminder of home for a senior citizen who may be traveling alone.
13. Mini Travel-size Toiletry Bag
Mini travel-size toiletry bags, that fit in your carry-on, ensure you have all necessary personal hygiene items on hand. As we age, our skin can become more sensitive and fragile, so having familiar toiletries can help prevent irritation. A travel toiletries bag can also make it easier to keep track of and organize personal items while on the go.
14. Noise Canceling Headphone
15. Passport Holder
As you get older, you may have more difficulty keeping track of important documents and may be at a higher risk of losing them. A passport holder can help keep all travel documents organized and easily accessible, reducing the stress and hassle of traveling. Additionally, this passport holder features easy-to-use zippers making it more user-friendly for older individuals.
16. Compression socks
17. Travel Cane
18. Eye Glass and shades case
19. Toilet Seat Covers
To help maintain hygiene and cleanliness using a toilet seat cover can help to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria. Additionally, a toilet seat cover can also provide a physical barrier and a sense of comfort and cleanliness while using public restrooms.
20. Noise Canceling Ear Plugs
As we age, we tend to become more sensitive to noise, making noise-canceling earplugs a useful tool for reducing discomfort. These earplugs are designed to be comfortable for extended use, making them a great option for long travel.
