 | ERGO Baby Carrier - Camel w/ Camel
Buy new: $105.00 This in the NUMBER ONE thing I would recommend to anyone traveling! It is super easy to use, shoves into a ball, can be worn front or back, comfortable for male or female and most importantly is actually comfortable to wear with little strain on your back or shoulders. I have had more than my fair share of carriers and without any hesitation, I recommend this one over and over.

 | Chicken Socks Totally Tape
Buy new: $9.95 / Used from: $2.88 Another one to keep them busy! This one has pictures where they put the tape. The tape doesnt stick to everything, and is easy enough for my 3.5 yr old to do.

 | Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether, Brown/ White
Buy new: $17.61 The squeaking can get old to you.. but your baby will love it and it will keep them busy for a long time!
|
 | Melissa & Doug Flower Power Bead Set
Buy new: $7.95 This was a real winner. When she was exhausted, this was a great quiet activity for her to do and she was so proud. The wooden box is great to keep from beads going everywhere also. If you can find a bigger box of beads... I recommend it. My daughter used this up in about 30 minutes but would have been happy doing it for another 30 or more!

 | Gotz Mini Muffin 8" Bald Girl
Buy new: $15.23 This isnt the exact baby we used, but the idea is the same. Babies LOVE babies, and our 8 month old couldn't get enough of her little baby doll we bought (from Wal-Mart for about $5). I recommend all hard plastic and only about 6"-8" tall. Our baby was also "naked" the whole time and seemed to be more appealing to her that way.

 | Fisher-Price View-Master Discovery Learning Viewer
Buy new: $15.99 This is a great one and even young ones (2.5 or so) can use it. This particular version of the the old school view master has sound. You can get several different cartridges for it... we have everything from farm animals to dinos to Dora. This is great for in the car or on the plane. LOVE IT!!!

|
 | Car-Go Fun: Go Diego Go! And Dora DVD Travel Game
Buy new: $2.85 My daughter loved this and I loved that she wasn't just zoned out watching a movie, but was engaged in the game. It does need an adult to help with unless you have a pretty savvy 4+ old that can use a remote for the DVD player or the controls on the DVD player to select the correct answer. But she loves it.
