items 
We use this all the time. We like to sit outside and eat in the summer so the baby can come and sit safely by the pool. We've also taken this everywhere from plane beach trips to car rides and it's super compact and been a lifesaver.
Bright Starts Pop 'N Sit Portable Booster Chair
This is the only bag my toddler has ever pulled on his own. And it's so funny and fun when he rides it and you get to speed through the airport like it's a fun game instead of lugging bags and a heavy toddler all around. It fits a lot too.
Fast Forward Spiderman Kids Ride-On Luggage 18''
Every toddler is obsessed with magna tiles. Now make them mini!?!?!? Life saver on the plane.
Magna-Tiles microMAGS 26-Piece Travel Set
Got green for one son and blue for another and out their specific plane toys in each. Was amazing to not have to keep digging through my bag for things and so helpful to have them organized in who's is who's. And they loved having their "own" little ...
Narwey Large Hanging Travel Toiletry Bag - Black
These are so cute and perfect for little heads and ears haha not too crazy or too expensive so I've they get dropped or lost in travel it's not the worst thing in the world. They fold up small and are perfect for the plane.
Snug Play+ Kids Headphones, 93dB Volume Limit, Foldable, Blue
Must have beach shoes for kids -- so easy to clean and to pack and the kids love them because they can (sometimes) put them on themselves.
Native Shoes Unisex-Kids Jefferson Sneakers
I cannot express to you enough, how grateful I am that these exist. These provided entertainment on the plane AND every day on our last trip. They're washable too which is great, but my 1.5 and 3 year old LOVED these. Not great for 1.5 year old becau...
StickiKubes Mini Stacking Sticky Blocks 125pcs
Get one for each kid and you will be very happy. No mess/resuable stickers. It's like a book and stickers and art all in one. Plus entertaining for them on the plane to stick on the wall or seats.
Stick4Ever Jelly Waterproof Reusable Sticker Book - Vehicles
Brought these on our last trip instead of a ton of books. They were great because both kids could be popping away at the same time, they didn't have to fight over one thing. And there's a ton so if they get bored with one color/picture set, there's a...
Melissa & Doug Poke-a-Dot! Alphabet Cards
I will never understand why, but my kids are tape obsessed. Whipped this out on the plane and they were quiet for a while. A lot of un-taping things before we landed, but they had a blast with it.
Colored Masking Tape 6 Rolls, 1in x 13yds
The gift that keeps giving -- super compact and easy to travel with. Great for the plane or restaurants or quiet time in the hotel. Other kids and sometimes grownups want to join in and try it so it keeps it interesting to the toddler too.
Magnetic Fishing Game Book for Toddlers 3-5
a friend told me about this and I'm so happy we got it -- genius idea to have a puzzle on the go. Plus, it's magnetic so you don't lose the pieces. Also very compact for a carry on or behind the airplane seat and comes in different scenes. I think I ...
Melissa & Doug Magnetic Jigsaw Puzzle Set - On the Farm
These are so fun for a plane or just on the go...They're a fun texture and can open them up/squish them down without too much noise. When they discovered they could also suction cup them to the seats/armrest and pull them up, this kept them busy for ...
KRUMPLES Fidget Plungy On-The-Go Pack of 6
TY to whoever posted about these on their TikTok. This $21 may have been the best money I spent in the past few months. HOURS and DAYS of fun was had (and still being had) with these weird sticky balls. Can throw and stick them to anything or just sq...
Crayola Globbles Squish Toys 16ct Easter
Best "toy" I've ever bought for my 3 year old boy. He always wants to swing on door handles or hang on our towel racks. We're stuck inside most of the winter and if you know 3 year old boys...that is not good. He LOVES this and plays with it ALL the ...
PreGymnastic Folding Gymnastics Bar with Rings
Bought this to be a mat under the gymnastics bar for my 3 year old, but it turned out to be more fun than that. You can run and jump and do somersaults or even use it as a less crazy trampoline. This is a great thing for gymnasts learning tricks and ...
FBSPORT Inflatable Gymnastics Mat 4/8in
If you have young boys, you need this. All their friends and cousins who come to visit always want to play in this. Also, if the 3 year old is angry or being agressive he has to go in the “arena” and work it out. Me and my dad are boxers and it's als...
MMA Arena Playpen (Boxing Set Not Included)
