Gearing Up For Summer #3: Noodle Head Toys ~ Travel Buddies Children's Neck Pillow Review and Giveaway

As with many people, summer time is when we find ourselves traveling the most. Whether it be a family vacation or a day trip to the zoo or waterpark...we are usually out and about quite a bit. This means frequent trips in the car. Thankfully both our kids don't mind car rides too much...but being cooped up in a car for very long gets uncomfortable for anyone. That's why I was thrilled when I came across Noodle Head Toys.

Over the past 5 years, Noodle Head has managed to grow an exciting set of products which include Pawparazzi Pets, Flip Flop Fun, Bag Buddies, and so much more! They are dedicated to providing high quality items that are fun for kids and encourage creativity, pretend play, design and more!

Noodle Head sent us the Moose Travel Buddies Children's Neck Pillow to review.

Features Include:

• Machine Washable
• Hypoallergenic
• An adorable travel companion
• Irresistibly soft and cuddly
• Practical
• Fun
• Stimulate tactile learning
• Suggested for ages 18 months and up

My first impression was how incredibly soft it is! Pictures do not even do it justice! I could definitely see how this would be very comfortable for a child while in the car and couldn't wait for Kaelyn to try it out!

The moment she used it, she loved it! She immediately wanted to rest her head on the soft material. It not only supports her head, but is very soft and comfortable for her to rest on. She even likes to cuddle with it. Aside from the fantastic quality, I also love the fun animals to choose from. All 19 are so cute! We just love the moose! Having cute, familiar animals really makes it more fun for a child to use and has Kaelyn begging for it whenever she is in the car....or even at home.

Before receiving it, I couldn't help but wonder if the head of the moose would get in the way of Kaelyn's head. The moment I slid it behind her neck I saw that it was not going to be an issue at all. In fact, it actually gives a little more padding and support which is fantastic!

I am thrilled with the quality of this adorable Travel Buddies Children's Neck Pillow. It's been perfect for naptime on the go! I can't wait until Kaden is old enough to use one, because I'd love to buy the Dog Travel Buddies pillow....isn't it cute?!
I would highly recommend this product to other parents who are planning trips this summer...it's practical and a lot of fun for kids to use.
