Color Me Travel Pillows
Long car trips and kids are never a good combination. Between sibling squabbles, boredom, and the migraine-inducing animated toys that are so popular these days, it's enough to make you want to steer clear of family vacations altogether. But fear not, because there is help out there. The Coloring Card Company has devised a kid-pleasing and parent-friendly solution to long car trips. Their new Color Me travel pillowcase provides your little ones with a creative outlet for their pent-up energy (not to mention a surface you don't mind them scribbling on). Kids can personalize their very own travel-size pillowcases, and when its time for a nap, they've got that covered, too! The Coloring Card Company also offers ready-to-decorate t-shirts and a slumber party kit that includes enough materials for up to four kids at a time.
All of the Color Me products are 100% cotton and American-made. And if you want to feel really good about it, Color Me donates 10% of its gross profits to kids' charities. Their goal is to raise $1 million for good causes. They've given to Book First, a child-literacy promoting organization, and The Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation. To date, the Foundation has given about $24 million to help the children of Marines and Federal law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty.
Kids will love being able to personalize their pillows and you'll love that they're concentrating their creativity on something constructive instead of the backs of your car's seats. Encourage your little ones' creative sides to come out on the road with Color Me pillowcases today, and skip the headache altogether!

Just get yourself a WedgEZ Outlet Plug Remover for easy and safe removal of child safety plugs. If your idea of outlet plug removal is to snag a butter knife from the kitchen drawer, this tool is for you.

Car Seat Poncho
There's a lot to learn about safety when there's a new baby around. For instance, babies and car seats don't mix. To deal with the dangers of combining babies, coats, and car seats there's the Car Seat Poncho. This invention takes care of two problems at once: the hassle of dressing young children for travel and the dangers posed by coats. It's really easy to use, just slip on over baby's head. When you get to the car, the poncho fits over both baby and car seat. From there, it's just a matter of zipping and buckling, and you're all set for the road! No cumbersome coats to worry about, and no danger to the little one!
ABC Fun Pads
Speaking of dangers to little ones, sharp corners are another major worry for concerned parents. But they don't have to be. Those sharp-cornered coffee tables that give you visions of black eyes, bumps to the noggin and emergency room visits will never cause you a second thought if you've got an ABC Fun Pad. This colorful padded buffer is the perfect way to child-proof sharp-cornered coffee tables that happen to be right at your little ones' eye levels. And the folks who designed it took the ABC Fun Pad one step further by transforming the table into a play area for your kids. They've designed a great city scene for kids to play with toy cars, tractors, trucks-whatever strikes their fancy. And on the opposite side, there's a decorative design for occasions when company comes calling. That way, you can clean up for visitors and still protect your children from potential hazards. This is especially great for that crucial time when kids are learning to walk.
Walking Wings
And if your baby is entering that wonderful time when they're learning to take their first steps, we've found something to help with that, too. Stooping to support your little one as he or she toddles unsteadily across the room can be a real pain in the back, however rewarding. But Walking Wings can help. The designers have created a nifty little device to help both you and your baby. Basically, Walking Wings is a harness to allow you to support your child without having to stoop and stretch baby's arms up in an unnatural manner. Think about it: the poor little one is trying to learn to walk with their arms pulled way up over their heads, which does nothing to improve their already unsteady balance. With Walking Wings, babies can feel both confident and independent, and you can be right there with them every step of the way, only without the crick in your back afterwards! It's available at Targets and Babies R Us stores across the country, or check out their website for more information!
