multi charger adaptor help

[sam portadown]

Does anyone know if you can buy an adaptor for charging more than one piece of kit. I do not want to have to carry loads of adaptors. I need one that i can plug into my voltage adaptor. I need it for the following. Samsung galaxy tab 10inch,kindle,3ds, ds,mp3players using small usb.think they are micro usb.

Do you have to get a 'special'/travel 4-way extension lead for this or can you use an ordinary cheap one that you can buy here?

Thanks

Ours is a just a normal everyday one that we would use here with an adapter plug to fit the US socket.
Works a treat and we just leave it in our owners locker over there.

I think I know what you mean. I have an htc charger that plugs into the socket and I can plug in my usb cable to that. It takes any usb cable - I use it for phone, kindle, iphone, ipad etc using their cables.
When in the US, I plug that into my 4way extension (or use a travel adapter)

It's just one charger but it has a myriad of different ends that you put on it so you only have to take a single charger and then the little attachments

We take a standard 4 way adapter, every evening we have 6 things charging, 4 in the 4 way plug and 2 single adapters. We have 3 phones, 3 cameras and 3 laptops plus underwater cam, mp3 players, Sat nav & GPS for Geocaching, alway use the 6 sockets every night.

I got a couple of 4 gang sockets, cut off the UK plugs and then purchased some US two pin plugs from Walmart, and rewired these onto the end of the cables. This now gives me eight charging points, only uses two wall sockets and no adapters required, which i find can hang a little awkward depending what is attached to them.

Same lighter sockets yes.
USB ports tend to be on top models only, never had one on anything upto and including Full size car but just has a 7 seater SUV and there was one in there. No doubt more and more cars will have them as they replace models but don't rely on getting one just yet.

We had an USB plug in the Ford Fiesta that we hired in Orlando in February.
