 Star
Kids Snack & Play Travel Tray
Why
Shelly recommends it:
We like this tray because it's large
enough to accommodate coloring books and drawing paper, and the
extra-high edges help keep toys and crayons from escaping--even if
the tray is at an angle (from the sloping car seat). The side
pockets are helpful, but a small toddler may not be able to reach
much in them. Since it's soft, you can roll or fold it to stuff
beneath your stroller, too hands free for
the luggage cart, your child's stroller, too.

 Toddler Car Seat
Sun Canopy
Why
Shelly recommends it:
If you've used an
infant carrier car seat, you already know the benefits of having a
sun canopy in the car. This generous canopy with adjustable side
flaps
helps create a shady retreat for
kids in convertible and toddler car seats, and also helps keep
headlights and street lights from disrupting nighttime sleep. On
overnight flights, it can also help ensure neighbor's reading lights
and air vents don't disturb your child's slumber. This model works
with virtually all brands of car seats (including infant carrier car
seats, but chances are yours already has a canopy) in either forward- or
rear-facing positions, though we recommend it most for use with
forward-facing car seats. Filters 98% of UVA and UVB rays.
Lightweight, stretch fabric and flexible frame let you fold it out
of the way when not needed. Available in blue or black.

 Car
Seat Head Cradler
Why
Shelly recommends
it:
Especially great for older children
who no longer benefit from a recline in forward-facing car seats,
though it's designed to grow with children from infancy up to 5
years old. This clever cushion lends support where it's needed most
at nap time, preventing head from slumping forward and only slightly
to the side.

 Taby Tray
Why
Shelly recommends
it:
While on the road or on the airplane,
car seats often have to serve double duty when dinner time rolls
around. This tray helps keep meals, snacks, and cups within easy
reach, and can also be helpful for reading, coloring, and other
activities during long flights. It will NOT work on car seats with
armrests that slope downward or boosters with chest protector
shields. It WILL work with nearly all car seats with regular
armrests or overhead shields (when shield is lowered in front of the
child), and with booster seats that have normal armrests or no
armrests. Meets safety requirements for use in moving car. 19"L x 15.5"W.

 The PiddlePad
Why
Shelly recommends
it:
Long hours spent in the car seat only
increase the risk of diaper leaks and blowouts (especially during
potty training). Not to worry. This car seat liner can help contain
accidents using a quilted terry liner to wick away moisture from
your child. A waterproof vinyl shell protects the car seat. You may
want one for your stroller, too! Machine
washable. Available in blue or black.

 Sit-Rite Rear-facing Car Seat Leveler
Why
Shelly recommends
it:
It's so simple, it's so basic, it's
so much easier than rolling and folding up towels or
blankets--especially as you travel. The Sit-Rite helps all infant
and rear-facing car seats achieve the proper angle while adding
stability in any range of vehicle seats. LATCH-compatible, works
with infant carrier bases as well.

 The Snuzzler
Infant Support Cushion
Why
Shelly recommends
it:
Most infants are so small they almost
get "lost" in their car seats. This
award-winning infant cushion is ideal for newborns, giving them
total support where they need it on those early rides in the car
seat--and also in the stroller. It continues to give babies added comfort as they grow, with
its height-adjustable head support. The Snuzzler also works
marvelously in jogging strollers. Height adjustable head support.
Designed to work with all types of seat harnesses without
rethreading straps. Machine washable.
