We've written about the gogo Kidz Travelmate before, but after using one for the first time I have to sing its praises. The gogo Kidz Travelmate transformed my experience of traveling with my daughter. The airport portion of our trip was a breeze. (The flight was not so hot but getting around the airport was easy!) If you're traveling alone (like I was) or with your partner, this is the best invention for traveling with a toddler.

Find the gogo Kidz Travelmate at One Step Ahead for $89.95 and worth every penny!

Get Smart with a Wisey Baby Play Mat Bag

Talk about a pack and play! When you’re toting baby around from place to place, sometimes you don’t have the luxury of lugging a play pen along. A solution? The play mat. A better solution? A Wisey Baby Play Mat Bag.

The Wisey Baby Play Mat Bag is a padded play mat with a waterproof outer shell that converts into its own bag. Wherever you are, you can spread the play mat out for some tummy time. When play time’s over, simply toss the toys into the center of the mat, fold in the sides, and voila! You’re packed and ready for toting to the next destination.

Available at The Silly Wagon for $60.95.

Earn a Road-trip Peace with Killy Keeper Car Toy Tidy Bag

Heather Kuldell — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 16:36:00 GMT

Sigikid’s Killy Keeper, aka Killy the soccer goalie, guards your car from toy messes -- well, at least in theory. The Car Toy Tidy Bag secures to the back of a car seat and has many pockets for the toys, books, snacks, drinks and other road-trip necessities. While it probably won’t stop all the “Mom, I needs” and “Dad, I’m so boreds,” keeping a few fun things within arms’ reach of the kids may help the trip go just a little smoother. In theory.

Available at Moolka for $54.99.

7 Days of Traveling Helps: Multi-use to the Max

Lisa Mulcahy — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:28:00 GMT

I can still remember the first overnight trip with baby in tow. My car was packed to the gills, it took a couple hours before I actually left the house and somehow I still managed to forget something. As a believer in the less is more mantra this drives me crazy. So when I saw this handy all-in-one piece of baby gear-to-go I thought it’s probably worth the wait to ship it from down under.

Willibean n’ Lilibean’s Willi Lili Buddy, $AUD 69.95, (almost the same price in US dollars) made its first appearance on the Australian version of the reality TV show American Inventor. There’s nothing sleek and sexy about it, but it’s a portable highchair, simplified bouncy chair, changing pad, and shopping cart cover-up. Enough said. It also comes in a carrying case with an inflatable booster seat.
