Travel Toys & Gear
• JetSetBabies - From diapers and food to booster seats and portable beds, JetSetBabies ships and tracks your package to make sure it’s waiting for you when you reach your destination – anywhere in the world. I especially like their customizable Travel Packs for the woods, beach, pool or slopes.
• Babies Travel Lite – Lighten your load by having baby paraphernalia like diapers, formula, and food for babies and toddlers delivered worldwide.
• BabyBond Nursing Accessory - This handy product covers the mama, not your baby. A mom is able to maintain your modesty without leaving the room while your baby remains uncovered and can maintain eye contact and interact.
• Bebe Au Lait – These nursing covers are great for feeding sessions while mid-flight or elsewhere on the go.
• Breathable Baby – This company offers breathable baby blankets and other safe products that are great for use while traveling or at home.
• CARES by kids fly safe – Avoid lugging that heavy toddler car seat through the airport and use this FAA-approved light, compact harness instead. For children 22 to 44 pounds.
• Cool Gear Travel Potty - This portable, fold-up potty is great for use on road trips.
• Coverplay's Play Yard Slipcover - This product seems like a great way to germ-proof hotel travel cribs.
• Diapers.com - This site offers a wide selection of staples like diapers and baby food, plus baby toys, books, strollers, baby carriers, and more - much of which is perfect for traveling. Stock up before you leave home or ship to your destination.
• GoGoBabyz - This company offers safe products that make life easier when you are on the go. I love their rolling carts for toddler seats and infant seats that make getting through the airport with little ones less stressful!
• i get around - These are cute products that encourage kids to be curious about the world around them on trips, both real and imaginary. The i get around journal and scrapbook provides a fun way for kids to remember a family vacation.
• Ju-Ju-Be - For fashionable, functional diaper bags and accessories, look no further. Have a ball choosing from a plethora of sizes, styles and fabrics.
• KidsTravelHappy – Go here for a wide array of toys, activities, and books to entertain children while traveling.
• LightWedge Reading Light – You can tuck this light into a book to sneak in some reading after putting the kids to bed, even when sharing a hotel room.
• Luggage Shipping - If you have a lot to pack and want to avoid lugging it all to the airport and checked baggage fees, you might want to ship your luggage instead through Luggage Free Economy for a flat rate of $50 per piece.
• Munchkin Bottle Brush - Don't forget to bring a brush, like this one by Munchkin, to clean baby bottles while away.
• Munchkin White Hot Inflatable Duck Tub – An inflatable tub like this one is an easy, portable solution for bathing babies on vacation.
• My Handy Hold- This child security strap keeps kids closeby when out and about. As an alternative to a harness, attach the My Handy Hold to your belt, purse, shopping cart, or (my favorite place for it) your younger child's stroller. This is a good alternative to hand-holding for children who like a bit of independence but who still need to stay close to mom or dad. When crossing a busy street, I still recommend holding hands if possible.
• My Tots Travel - This site offers diapers, formula, food and more delivered to your destination. Plus, they offer baby and toddler travel gear rentals.
• Safety Harness - Using a safety harness helps keep toddlers from disappearing in crowds or from running in front of traffic. Choose one shaped like your child's favorite animal or character for a snuggly solution your child just might love.
• Sassy Baby Powdered Formula Dispenser - Make preparing a bottle easy while out and about with this container that holds four servings of premeasured formula.
• Sit 'n' Stroll - This is a stroller, booster seat, and car seat all rolled into one, which can be used on an airplane instead of an infant seat! It is suitable for children from newborns up to 40 pounds. Oh, how I wish I had one of these when my kids were infants!
• ThinkFun - For toys that exercise your kid's brain, look no further than ThinkFun! These games and puzzles are especially handy for entertaining older kids and tweens. Many come with their own carrying case too, perfect for travel.
• Tots on the Go - Smart travel gear for babies and beyond. There are so many fun travel gadgets on this site, from gate check stroller and car seat covers, to on-the-go baby bottle warmers, kid-sized travel beds, and more.
• TravelKiddy - For a pre-packed kit of toys and activities for kids on the go, check out this site.
