Responding in kind, brands are providing solutions to make air and car travel easier with infants to satisfy parental need for ease and convenience. This attention to the juvenile traveler augments the traditionally staunch travel industry to be more accepting of families while also affecting hotels and accommodations to focus less on the coveted DINK (double income no kids) demographic. ## At a Glance - Evidence: 4 featured examples - Articles from: Nov 30, 2016 to Jan 29, 2018 - Published: Feb 21, 2014 - Patterns: [Convergence](https://www.trendhunter.com/pattern/convergence), [Divergence](https://www.trendhunter.com/pattern/divergence) - Megatrends: [Youthfulness](https://www.trendhunter.com/megatrend/youthfulness), [Artificial Intelligence](https://www.trendhunter.com/megatrend/artificial-intelligence) ## Audience - Gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Themes within the Juvenilized Travel trend ### Baby Travel Products Travel products designed to make travel with babies and young children more convenient and comfortable. ### Juvenile Travel Industry An increase in discretionary income among Gen X and Y parents has led to the rise of the juvenile travel industry with brands focused on child-centric travel solutions. ### Design and Fashion for Kids Designers are creating fashionable and fun children's travel gear, allowing kids to feel confident and independent while traveling. ## What the Juvenilized Travel trend means for industry ### For Baby Product Industry Businesses can develop innovative products that make travel with babies more convenient and comfortable, such as collapsible stroller wagons or remote-controlled kid suitcases. ### For Travel Industry The travel industry can expand its offerings to include child-centric solutions and embrace the familial travel boom, such as having designated infant-only areas in planes or airport terminals. ### For Fashion and Design Industry Designers and retailers can develop fashionable, fun travel gear for kids, such as themed travel kits, blankets, and pillows, which cater to both boys and girls. ## Workshop question What is your brand doing to specifically cater to the modern family? ## Trend signals for Juvenilized Travel Trend score 5.3 out of 10, from popularity 68%, activity 82%, freshness 8%. - Popularity: 68% - Activity: 82% - Freshness: 8% ## Examples of the Juvenilized Travel trend 4 featured examples from Nov 30, 2016 to Jan 29, 2018. - [Child Airplane Seat Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kids-bag): The Jet Kids 'BedBox' Kid's Bag Makes an Airplane Seat into a Bed (Category: Life-Stages) Implication: The travel industry is being disrupted by the emergence of child-focused travel accessories, such as the Jet Kids 'BedBox,' that are providing a more comfortable experience for tr… - [Collapsible Infant Wagons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stroller-wagon): The Veer Cruiser Premium Stroller Wagon Can be Stored in the Trunk (Category: Life-Stages) Implication: Opportunities for manufacturers to develop and improve products in the baby gear industry, especially strollers and wagons aimed at parents who are always on the go. - [Children's Designer Travel Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-milo-travel-gear): BAPE Revealed a New Set of Baby Milo Travel Grear (Category: World) Implication: The production of branded travel gear for children represents an opportunity for apparel companies to expand their product line and capitalize on the children's market. - [Remote-Control Kid Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suitcase-with-wheels): The Rastar Kids Suitcase with Wheels is Controlled Remotely (Category: Life-Stages) Implication: Remote-controlled luggage aligns with the travel goods industry and introduces an opportunity for innovation in luggage design and features. ## Recent trend clusters - [Automated Upkeep](https://www.trendhunter.com/protrends/automated-upkeep) (Tech) - [Serial Snacking](https://www.trendhunter.com/protrends/serial-snacking) (Lifestyle) - [Autumn Teasers](https://www.trendhunter.com/protrends/autumn-teasers) (Business) - [Ambient Assistance](https://www.trendhunter.com/protrends/ambient-assistance) (Tech) ## Trending in Life-Stages - [Mini Clog Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cars-x-crocs-blind-box) - [Thoughtfully Designed Lunchboxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glacier-lunchbox) - [Larger-Format Brainteaser Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kanoodle-party) - [Historical Character Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polly-pocket-x-american-girl) All articles: [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages)
