It is difficult for the whole family to be gone and not have the convenience of things that are at home that a toddler feels comfortable with, but there is a lot of different equipment out there that prove to be very valuable when a family is on a journey away from home.

Naptime is a very difficult time for kids when they are away from home, so it is important that they feel comfortable. Having a personalized little sleeping bag and pillow all in one is a popular solution to not having familiar bedding on trips. These little blanket and pillow sets are completely machine washable, and they conveniently roll up and are secured with snaps or Velcro to prevent unrolling while they are carried. They only weigh 2 to 4 pounds, so they wont add a huge extra burden to the task of transporting a lot of weight when traveling. They are also great for day care centers and baby sitters homes as well.

It is common for parents to use playpens when they are away from home, and to keep children clean and safe in a playpen that is rented or borrowed, there are washable slipcovers that are used to keep toddlers and germs on the playpen separate. These toddler travel accessories can be just thrown into the washing machine, and they come in many different patterns and colors. They slip right on and slip right off, and a lot of parents rest much easier knowing that the area that their child is napping and playing in is completely clean and soft.

Long car rides can be difficult for anyone to tolerate, and toddlers especially often fall asleep in the car. They fall asleep and parents look back and see that the child is hunched over with their head hanging ouch! There are new supports that provide head, neck, and lateral support that are recommended by chiropractors to prevent injuries to children when they fall asleep and let their head hang. These provide healthy spinal alignment for children, and are washable and provide a soft place for the childs head. Although some of the supports attach to the car seat, there are some now that do not, and instead of fitting around a childs neck they are placed on the side to cushion the head.

Also for napping in the car there are special blankets that are made that will not bunch up or drop to the car floor while the child is napping. These blankets clip to the car seats and stay on, without any time consuming hardware or ties. The corners have the clips on them, and they secure to any kind of fabric. The blankets are popular because they are small enough for infants and large enough for preschoolers, so these toddler travel accessories can make a big difference on a long trip in the car.
