Trunki Travel Luggage for Kids
This little rolling carry-on is a multi-function asset. Accompanying us on our trip to Europe, the Trunki held everything our son needed for flight, was great for him to pull, and was noticeably light when slung over my shoulder. It even fit under the airplane seat when turned on its side.

But what is so special about the Trunki? Kids can ride on it!

As we all know, those little legs get tired when walking through the airport. The Trunki doubles as "in airport transportation" for kids.

The Trunki has a handle on top for those times when you have to grab and go. It also has a pocket inside as well as straps to secure items inside. My son uses the attached key to lock and unlock his own suitcase (prevents unexpected openings).

I was pleasantly surprised at the durability of the Trunki. My son received lots of smiles from passing adults and envious looks from other kids who wanted one for themselves!

On our cruise ship, the Trunki became a source of entertainment. The long carpeted hallways were a great "road" for the Trunki to travel on -providing endless entertainment for a toddler.

The Trunki rides smooth and fast - sometimes too fast! Adult supervision is definitely required to keep little ones on track.

A few words of caution about using the Trunki:

The wheels do not allow quick turns. In airports and cruise ship inner hallways, this is not an issue. However, keep this in mind to avoid tipping over your little one if pulling him/her around corners!

I allowed my son only to use the Trunki in wide open areas so he did not get lost in the crowd or run into other people.

Save Trunki for travel and use at the destination. Kids are more likely to get excited about something if it is not available on a daily basis.

EZ Show Retractable ID Holder
I use this product to hold my boarding pass and ID. It really does help since we have to show our boarding passes multiple times going through security and my hands are busy removing shoes from my toddler and myself as well as getting my laptop out of the bag. The ID holder clips right onto your belt loops or can be worn around your neck.

PortaPocket
The PortaPocket carrying case is great for travel. Need a small space to store items while on a day-trip? Use the PortaPocket to hold essentials like keys, iPods, cell phones, money, etc. The detachable pocket is designed to fit your calf, thigh, ankle, arm, or waist. Great for those miscellaneous items you'll need to have access to in the airport. Just remember to remove it through airport security. My brother-in-law even used the PortaPocket to store his insulin pump.

Identitee Contact Card
Contact information is kept private inside a stick-on pocket, but a good thing to have on your child if they get separated from you. I write my name, cell phone number, and a back up number on the contact form.

Road ID

Whether you're traveling with kids or without, having identification is essential! Be a smart traveler and wear your identification. In case of emergencies, especially medical emergencies, seconds can be the difference between life and death. Road ID was invented after a warning from a father and a near accident. In 1999, Edward Wimmer was training for his first marathon. Edward's concerned father suggested that he carry his ID with him on his many training runs. His father wanted a way to be notified in case of an accident or emergency. Edward took his father's suggestion seriously after he found himself run off the road and into a ditch after a close call with a pickup truck.

After this instance, Edward realized that had he been hit by the truck he would have been identified merely as a "john doe." His family would not be notified and his medical records would not be available to the hospital. How much precious time would be lost due to the lack of identification? Edward and his father, Mike Wimmer, decided to make a difference for outdoor enthusiasts, and possibly save lives by inventing the Road ID.

What a great invention! And what a valuable invention for travelers! Road ID offers laser engraved ID tags for the wrist, ankle, or shoe. The IDs come standard with a 3M relfective strip to enhance your visibility in the dark. The newest version, The Road ID Interactive, even allows you to build a fully updateable, secure Emergency Response Profile that is available to first repsonders via telephone and internet.

Be prepared for emergencies with Road ID. Order yours today!

Two in One Harness Buddy
My son has the puppy harness and loves to buckle it himself. I have found that it can be very helpful to alleviate fears about going through security. He tends to focus on being the caretaker of "Puppy" and tells his little puppy that he has to go for a ride on the belt if he wants to go on the airplane. My son is usually so focused on getting through the metal detector to see puppy come through the other side of the belt, that he is not intimidated by the metal detector itself.

The puppy harness is put away with his suitcase when we are not traveling, so he is happy to see it when we get it out. He also uses the puppy as something to hug on the airplane (and can double as a pillow) – it is really soft!

Many people comment on how cute it is – and it really does help when my hands are full to feel that "tail" around my wrist. When we walk through the airport, I hold my son’s hand, even though the tail is around my wrist. I keep him close and he is used to that. That way when I have to let go of his hand, he tends to stay close from habit, but if he gets distracted, I still have the tail of the puppy around my wrist.

This product is becoming a familiar sight in airports and all the parents I have spoken with are happy with it.

Whos Shoes Child ID
I use the Whos Shoes Child ID. I feel strongly that if I should get separated from my son, someone could immediately notify me when finding him. I write my name and my husband's name as well as our cell phone numbers as the contact information.

The tag Velcro's over the laces or Velcro straps of shoes.
