I have five year old and 12-year-old and I know that traveling with a toddler or baby can sometimes be more of an adventure than the trip itself. Summer vacation is a perfect time to take a road trip with the family and there are a few products available that I think will make travelling easy and enjoyable for everyone.
Toddlers snacking in the backseat can be messy and inconvenient. Drink spills, dropped cups, and crushed animal crackers into the seats can set any parent on edge. However, stopping for just a snack is not always ideal, either. Cubbie cup has the perfect solution. It’s a spill proof sippy cup with an attached snack cup. The snack trap lid makes it easy for little hands to reach in to grab a treat, but won’t spill the treats if the cups are turned upside down. Bonus, the drink won’t leak either. The cup handles are easy to hold and pick up. While Cubbie Cup doesn’t fit in a standard car seat cup holder, I found that it fits in most pockets on car doors. Alternatively, it is easy to hold and my daughter doesn’t have any issues with holding it in her lap.
Cubbie Cup retails for $12.99 and is available for purchase on the Cubbie Cup website.
During long car rides kids will inevitably fall asleep. At least we hope they do, right? Don’t you hate the neck cricking positions toddlers have to endure while sleeping in a car? Enter Baby Moon Pillow! The Baby Moon Pillow is horseshoe shaped to comfortably fit around the base of the back of the neck. It provides support for the back of the head and a snuggly resting place for the ear to shoulder nod off. No more kinks and no more waking head jerks.
Baby Moon Pillow prices vary between $27 and $28 and can be purchased at ShopBabyMoon.com.
