Best Kids' Travel Pillows of 2026

"I’m a frequent flyer and this neck pillow has been a game changer for international flights. As someone who is 5'4" and 135 pounds, I finally found a pillow that’s not only comfortable in any seat—economy or premium—but also lets me actually sleep for hours on planes. The soft fabric and adjustable, rotatable design make it easy to find the right position, and the strap lets me attach it to the tray table or my bag. While it’s a little bulky on my backpack, it’s totally worth it for the comfort and convenience."

"I picked up the child size after reading other reviews since I’m a slim senior (5'4") and wanted something that wouldn’t push my head forward. It’s comfortable in different positions and packs down nicely into my backpack or can hang off the side. The quality feels great, even though it’s pricier than other brands, and the pillow is fully washable with no weird smells. For petite adults, it’s a perfect fit."

"I bought this for my kid who often falls asleep on long drives, and after a year of use, it’s still a solid travel pillow with soft, plush fabric and great chin support. The adjustable design really helps keep his head from flopping forward. The only minor downsides are that it can feel a little snug and may get warm, and over time, the support isn’t quite as firm as when new. Still, it’s served us well for most of the year."

"As someone who's been dealing with limited mobility after a stroke, I've tried countless pillows. I truly appreciate that these are light, cool, and can be tossed in the washer and dryer. They're so versatile—perfect for tucking under my knees at night or supporting my arm in the car. No weird smells, don't overheat, and the price is fair. I ended up buying more after the first one!"

"I used my first one for years as a knee pillow for side sleeping and it held up great—no wear and tear. It's compact enough for travel, so I just bought a replacement after losing mine on a trip. Solid quality and super handy."

"This pillow is extremely tiny—think the size of a small dog pillow. The listing is upfront about the dimensions, but it's not thick enough for lumbar support or to use as a regular pillow. Works fine for knee or neck support in bed though."

"My baby boy seems very comfortable using this pillow. I use it not only for his naps but also when changing him and while he's in the stroller bassinet, so he isn't lying completely flat when we go out. It's small and a bit pricey for the size, but I appreciate that it's a light, airy pillow. Make sure to put it in the dryer first to fluff it up, as recommended on the packaging."

"This pillow is a good starter option for a baby or toddler. The fabric is a bit on the thinner side and it's flatter than I imagined, so I might add some stuffing where the tag used to be. It works for now, but I think it's more worth $10 than $20. If you're looking for something simple, this will do the job."

"I was extremely disappointed with this pillow. When I opened the package, I was hit by an overpowering chemical smell that made me feel sick and gave me a headache. The pillow itself was covered in greasy, black residue, almost like industrial oil. This is totally unacceptable, especially for a product meant for babies. I would never let a child use this and urge other parents to avoid it entirely."

"I'm so grateful I bought this for my baby's crib. It keeps him gently elevated and truly helps with his reflux. I'm finally able to get some rest instead of holding him all night. The quality is great and it fits his mini crib perfectly."

"My son has a G-tube and this pillow has been a true lifesaver—it has dramatically reduced his reflux from tube feeds. He used to choke in bed, but now he sleeps much more safely."

"I love that this wedge fits the crib perfectly and is a great first pillow for my toddler. The only thing I'd wish for is an extra pillowcase, so I have a spare when one needs washing."

"I bought this set for my niece ahead of our Disney trip, and she was absolutely thrilled. All three items are super cute, and the neck pillow and mask fit her perfectly."

"My son was delighted with this airplane set—the neck pillow, face mask, and luggage tag are adorable, and the materials feel high quality. Definitely a great purchase."

"I gifted this to my granddaughter, and she was so happy. She used the entire set throughout our trip and really loved it."

"I picked up this travel pillow with the adorable butterfly design for my toddler, and it’s made a huge difference on our trips. The memory foam is so soft and supportive, and the adjustable snap button helps us get a perfect fit. I also love that the cover is washable—a must with little kids! The fun cartoon look keeps her interested, and she actually enjoys using it now."

"I bought this neck pillow for my kid’s flights, and it’s worked out really well. The memory foam gives just the right amount of support, keeping my son’s head stable and comfortable. The adjustable closure fits perfectly, and the cute design and travel bag make it super easy to take everywhere."

"This neck pillow is a lifesaver for car rides—my daughter’s head no longer flops forward when she falls asleep. The pillow is firm yet comfortable, and the soft cover feels great. I appreciate how easy it is to roll up and store in the bag, and the cute look is a bonus."

"I absolutely love how adorable and cuddly this pillow is. I bought it for my foster kittens, and the size and softness are just perfect. I liked it so much, I got another one!"

"For long car rides with my toddler, this pillow is a cute and functional addition. While it didn't fully support her head in the car seat, the softness makes it cozy for her."

"I've used this as a neck pillow on flights and it’s been amazing for keeping my head up. It's not too big or too small, and the stuffed animal look makes it fun and practical."

"I absolutely love this pillow! It’s so cute and comfortable, with a soft yet supportive feel. Even though it’s marketed for kids, I use it myself as an adult and couldn’t be happier."

"The axolotl gills actually glow in the dark if you leave it in the sunlight first! The button is sturdy and keeps the pillow attached to my backpack, which is really handy when I’m traveling. Super soft, memory foam squishiness, and the cover is removable for washing. As an adult woman, I find the fit just fine!"

"I was surprised by how incredibly soft and realistic-looking this pillow is. My daughter and I both love the sweet scent and the soft, baby pink color. I ordered the bigger size so it’ll last longer, and it was delivered right to my door, vacuum sealed. We’re both super happy with it!"

"I bought this for my 2-year-old grandson before our trip to Mexico, and he absolutely adored it—especially since it’s “spidey.” He slept for more than two hours on the plane and used it during ground travel too. It’s super soft and comfy—highly recommend!"

"My 10-month-old is obsessed with Bluey, so this pillow was an instant hit. She loves all the characters printed on it, not just Bluey and Bingo. It’s really soft, great for both playtime and travel. The only issue was a small hole by the tag, but I fixed it easily. Still, I recommend this pillow!"

"We got this for our five-year-old’s road trip and he couldn’t have been happier. The size was just right and it traveled well. I’d definitely suggest it to other parents."
