2-in-1 Traveling Guppy
This fabulous fishy won the Dr Toy 'Best Vacation Product' award in 2004 - and it really does have lots of nice features to keep baby happy! The fins are knotted (great for fiddling with), the baby fish jingles, the ball rattles and the tail has that wonderful 'crinkly stuff' in it that has always kept our babies occupied for ages!

Kolcraft Baby Einstein Move & Go Music Mirror
'Mirror, mirror, in the car
My favorite travel toy by far!'
OK, so we're no poets - but babies LOVE admiring their reflections! With this groovy little entertainment center, they get to check their reflection while listening to music and watching the colored lights! Best of all, YOU get to set the volume by remote control! Oh - and this was named one of Dr Toy's 'Toy Products of Excellence' in 2006!

Learning Curve/Lamaze Octotunes
This colorful little octopus has eight legs (of course!) - and each leg plays a different musical note! It also has little knots around the collar that provide lots of fiddling fun!

Wonder Wheel Car Activity Toy by Tiny Love
Look Mommy, I'm driving!
Babies are great mimics and this excellent toy allows them to really feel as if they're driving right along with you! This wheel comes with a panel (not shown in the picture) that fixes easily to the rear of the front seat. When baby touches an image on the steering wheel, the same image lights up on the panel in front of him and makes sounds. Despite all these cool effects, our little one just enjoys turning the wheel as we go around corners!
Oh well, whatever keeps them happy!

Tiny Love Musical Take-Along Arch Ocean
This colorful arch is just too cute! When your baby pats any of the hanging toys with his hand, he'll be rewarded with music! It's pretty versatile and fits most car seats, strollers and bouncy seats and you can adjust the height of the toys as your baby grows. In our opinion, a great arch like this is an absolute 'must have' baby travel toy because it can be used pretty much anywhere!

Whoozit 10" by Manhattan Toy
If you've never come across Whoozits before, then you've just discovered some of the most popular baby travel toys with parents today! This particular member of the Whoozit family has high contrast patterns, that are designed to provide visual stimulation for tots! They also have lots of noisy bits (including that crinkly stuff again!) and attach to most car seats, baby carriers and strollers.

Whoozit Photo Album by Manhattan Toy
Another superb Whoozit toy - and this one has a real personal touch! Just pop your family photos (or other pictures that your baby loves) into the vinyl pockets and he'll have great fun lifting the flaps on each page to see who's underneath! There's also a nice, chewable, textured handle at the top for gnawing on when he's bored with the photos!

Kushies Fuzzi LoveBug
This toy has lots of nice features - his legs slide in and out, he's nice and colorful, he clips on to car seats and strollers and he giggles when baby shakes him! But the main selling point in our opinion are those silky ribbons - all our babies just LOVED that type of texture and would happily suck away at the labels on their blankies. The Lovebug provides loads of similar tag-sucking opportunities!
