Are we there yet? As part of our Kid’s Travel Series the Giggle Guide™ has found some of the newest and most inventive products out there to keep kids busy, and quiet, on those long car rides and extended layovers. When children are in the van, go creative (like “Van Gogh”!). These brands offer little artists great MPG (masterpieces per gallon) when on-the-road: Alex Toys, Klutz, Alfonsi Venetis Kids and Lap Desk.

Stuffed animals, books, crayons, and tiny plastic game pieces with no home all somehow manage to make their way into little one’s packing. You simply cannot leave the house without “those” three blocks — they are essential! Packing with and for kids can be a maddening experience. As part of The Giggle Guide’s™ ongoing Travel Series, we are exploring kids’ backpacks — perfect for overnight trips, sleepovers, day outings, and weekends at Grandma’s! We have found some backpacks that should be front and center!

Traveling can cause jet lag. But traveling with kids may cause “kid lag,” resulting in pure exhaustion. However, vacation-bound Moms and Dads can breathe a sigh of relief because The Giggle Guide™ has found some products for travel that make getting on-the-go more fun and stylish! For the best in arrivals and departures, we found just the ticket with these baggage handlers: Dante Beatrix, Room It Up, Sassafras, TrendyKid and Faith Knight.

Heard of “The Golden Rule”? Here’s The Platinum Rule!

The Snugaboo line of whimsical blankets takes the concept of playtime a step further by teaching children to “Be Good” through play and make-believe. Snugaboo is built on the Platinum Rule, “Do unto others as THEY would have done to themselves!”

Not a bike or a scooter (or a paint brush!), the EzyRoller makes snake-like movements using the principle of cambering motion, the same motion used by gondolas in Venice. The swift movement is a sensation that can only be experienced with the EzyRoller. Feet are placed on the motion bar, and with a right/left motion the EzyRoller is propelled forward.

Hungry for some new products? The Giggle Guide™ offers a menu of innovative feeding items from Juvenile Solutions, My Plate-Mate, Baby Bistro Brands, BabeEase (Clean Shopper), OnTray by 42 Kids and Itzy Ritzy. All provide essentials that make kiddie mealtimes better, and most importantly, neater! Better a neater eater than a picky one? Now, if only adult-size bibs were also in fashion!
