Let’s hit the road!

Mommy’s Helper Inflatable Bathtub allows your little one to get their baths regardless of the bathroom style. Some homes and hotels feature standup showers, which can complicate bathing your little one. The inflatable bathtub remedies that, and it’s compact, making it easy to pack.

Mommy’s Helper Inflatable Tub is non-toxic and phthalate-free, adding to the level of safety. The saddlehorn keeps little ones from sliding down into the tub while bathing. The saddlehorn has its own valve, so if your child doesn’t need the extra protection, you don’t have to air it up.

“Amazing Buy,” says Rachel. They used the inflatable tub for their little one, who was eight months old at the time and continued using it until she was 15 months old. She isn’t the only parent out there praising the quality and usefulness of the inflatable bathtub; you can see for yourself what other reviewers have to say.

The Mighty Clean Baby Toilet Seat Covers have a plastic liner that creates a barrier between your little one’s bottom and the toilet seat. They’re soft and absorbent, too. These toilet covers are large enough to cover the seat and bowl, meaning your little one can hold on without their legs touching a potential germ-riddled toilet.

The toilet covers fit most standard-size toilets and includes an adhesive strip that will keep the covers from sliding about as your child gets off and on the toilet. The resealable package is perfect for traveling. With these seat covers, you no longer have to worry about how sanitary the toilet is.

Let’s face it, toddlers can be messy, but Munchkin’s Spillproof Sippy Cup is an excellent item to have while traveling. You won’t have to worry about any spills or leaks in the vehicle, diaper bag, cup holder, or an energetic toddler’s hands. 

The 360-degree rim design supports oral health and allows your little one to drink anywhere around the cup’s circumference. It also helps support the normal muscle development in a child’s mouth.  The cup breaks down into three sections, making it easy to clean and limiting the risk of bacteria or mold growth (which can be common with straws or spouts).

Munchkin’s Snack Catchers Snack Cups fit most standard cup holders in vehicles, car seats, and strollers. These portable snack cups will allow independent toddlers to self-feed with a bit more dexterity. The soft, flexible flaps make it easy for little hands to get in and out, but they’re also responsible for preventing food spills.

The two handles on each cup make it easy for little hands to hold, and the non-slip rubber bottom keeps the snack catcher in place on multiple surfaces. Your toddler will have the freedom to be more independent, while you can feel at ease about less of a mess – especially while traveling.
