FOR ROAD & PLANE TRIPS
One for the Road
If your vacation plans include visiting family, chances are they won’t have a toddler car booster seat in their vehicle or for the dinner table. And you can’t necessarily rely on car rental agencies to provide them either, at least not without being charged a small fortune. Be prepared by bringing along a BubbleBum, the portable and inflatable car booster seat that won’t take up much space in your luggage. $29.99 from BubbleBum, Target, BabiesRUs and Walmart.

Organized Chaos in the Backseat
The term “road trip” might strike fear into the hearts of many parents, but Prince Lionheart’s fantastic kids travel gear like the Back Seat Organizer ($25) keeps little ones occupied and their toys, books, sippy cups and snacks organized. For babies, we also like the Baby View Mirror ($17).
