You trust your pediatrician right? If you don't you should change pediatricians! There is something special about these physicians who have chosen to work with children. They have a tough job - they deal with sick kids and worried-sick parents. They deal with rashes and shots and sleep-deprived nervous-wreck moms. A pediatrician must have patience to properly care for patients (and the parents)!

Appropriately named, MD Moms was formed by two pediatricians - who are also caring moms. Not only are they moms and MDs, they have taken this combination to the next level and with their talents, became entrepreneurs.

Listening to what parents wanted, knowing what babies needed, they took their knowledge and combined it with their experience and parent feedback. The result is a baby friendly, oh so silky, convenient, product line!

The cleansing wipes are a great addition to their baby-friendly product line. Realizing that parents often use wipes for multi-purpose "both set of cheeks" as they say, the wipes are gentle, all-over clean cleansing towelettes. They work for baby's needs (top to bottom) as well as parent's needs (the wipes are great for makeup removal)!

The wipes contain a blend of marine silk, vitamins E and B5, certified organic aloe and comfrey - hello moisturizers! (and they provide antioxidant benefits)

Squeaky clean and silky soft - and best of all? Multi-functional! This is a travelers wipe.

Every now and then I come across inventors that just "get it". Such is the case with the inventors of "Chewable Jewels". Three beautiful, smart, and incredibly talented women entrepreneurs noticed that babies love to gnaw on jewelry. A dentist and mother, Dr. Helen Bloom Smith along with her sister, Dr. Joy Bloom Wright and Mary Wheeler Settlemier recognized the opportunity to provide babies with a safe alternative to toxic jewelry. They formed the company Dr. Bloom, Inc. to launch their product "Chewable Jewels".

This bracelet is fun to wear, practical, stylish, and best of all, my teething nephew enjoys chewing on it! One less thing to pack - and one more thing to be thankful for in flight when the drool starts dropping and the cheeks turn red!

Ever look at your child and want to laugh and cry at the same time? How about when food, paint, or mud is smudged all over the face, clothes, and in the hair?

Now visualize your baby eating food (messy process) on a plane or at a restaurant. your options for clean-up are limited. With a bath miles away (literally), what are your choices but to watch the majority of the smudge dry into a hardened glob in the hair and on the skin of your little traveler?

This little insulated bag was invented when the hot sun melted a bride's makeup and she decided to design a bag that would keep her makeup cool. However, for my flight I chose to use the IcyBag for storing my brother-in-law's insulin and my son's Colby Jack individually wrapped cheese. I placed the 3 ounce gel pack in the freezer the day before we traveled and wrote a note to myself to remember it the day we left.

The little gel pack was frozen solid -however, I did still remove it for security (since it is a gel) and placed it in the bin with the medical supplies I was also declaring.

The cheese snack was a great addition to the crackers and a nice cold surprise for my son mid-flight. It also was good for my breastfeeding sister when she needed a snack.

I was surprised when I was able to fit an entire sandwhich inside the bag without squishing it. The bag is larger than it appears yet very convenient to travel with as it fits into a diaper bag or purse and can be attached to a backpack or suitcase with the two different types of hooks on the bag.

I prefer to use this over some of the other bags I have used in the past to keep medication cool. No mess with this bag as the closed gel packet is inserted into a thin fabric cover and is tethered conveniently in the middle of the bag. The gel pack is reported to last 3 times as long as ice.

Like many products that are valuable for travel, this bag's many uses make it a necessity for life away from home-whether in the car or on an airplane.

From preventing makeup and lotions from melting or from getting piping hot- to keeping snacks or medication cold, this make-up size, water-resistant bag may surprise you how handy it is for your traveling needs.

This pillow/blanket combo is a ZoobiePet for adults! PlaneComfort is a convenient, nicely designed product. This quality made pillow/blanket/bag combo has a carrying strap to connect it to your bags or stroller. The bag has a pocket to store your small items and a nice zipper to keep them from falling out. The material is easily cleaned by wiping with soap and water.

The pillow/blanket combo is kept inside where you know it is clean! Once unzipped, the inside of the bag reveals a soft pillowcase. The inflatable pillow is easily blown up (my 3 year old was happy to do this) and the soft gray blanket is a thin, but warm blanket great for sleeping on those air conditioned planes!

And the best part of the blanket is that it is long enough to cover the feet, and wide enough to cover two airplane seats! Finally- no need to fight for the blanket.

When the pillow was completely inflated, it was rather hard and inflexible. Just let a bit of air out and you have a flexible pillow, covered by a soft pillow case. The great feature about this product is that the pillow case is stored inside and zipped closed - and clean! The lining is water resistant and that means that your blanket and pillow case will remain dry.

My son and I both slept comfortably on our late night flight from Minneapolis. We arrived late at night and it was chilly outside. I placed the cozy, soft blanket over my son's lap in the car and he slept all the way home. This is a great multi-functional product- great for travel AND at your destination.

Review #2:
This is a product that becomes more valuable to me everytime I travel. On this last trip, I decided to utilize the zippered bag to store vital items needed while in flight. I placed the 1 lb. CARES harness, the Ear Popper, and our sage green PlaneSheets in the bag. I also added a couple pens, some hand wipes, and a thin miniature book for my son's entertainment.

I then placed the zippered, water resistant red bag inside my son's Trunki alongside his "entertainment bag". So, the pillow/blanket combination now held 7 items (with room for more) and was conveniently zipped away and transported onto the plane inside Trunki.

This bag covers many needs. My son had a great time inflating the pillow and then relaxed against the soft material, eventually falling asleep. Since it was warm on the plane, I rolled the blanket up and used it as additional support for his body. I eventually used the blanket to cover him as the air got cooler.

PlaneComfort is my new essentials bag for all travel. With so many uses and such convenient features - why would you leave home without it?

I originally was interested in recommending these seat covers for sick children that are flying to children's hospitals, sick kids camps, or for the much needed family vacation. Many times a suppressed immune system necessitates extra steps - and we all know that flying exposes us to "international germs". I also liked these covers for people who have environmental and food allergies.

I reviewed both the disposable and the washable airplane seat covers on this last flight. That's when I realized - even though I had thought of this cover for sick kids, it was calming to me to see my child settle into his seat and be surrounded by a seat cover that I knew was "ours". The cover I reviewed was a pleasant sage color, but there are many different colors and patterns available to choose from - camouflage, zebra, and even hot pink - the list goes on to suit your taste. There is also a chenille material for an ultra soft seat. An added bonus is the monogramming option for the Elizabeth Collection solids.

My son sat in the seat with the washable sage cover and I sat in the one with the disposable blue cover. His seat was more colorful, softer and seemed to stay in place easier.

However, I think for those trips where you don't want to haul a cover around, the disposable option is great. The disposable covers come in a pack of two and the washable cover has its very own zipped case for keeping your cover clean and easy to transport.

For those who are traveling with compromised immune systems or allergies, or anyone who wants protection from soiled seats, PlaneSheets not only personalizes your seat, but protects from any "personalization" done by the massive amounts of passengers who sat in that seat before you!

Finally a place for all your belongings! Family travelers, business travelers, senior travelers, special needs travelers, unaccompanied minors - anyone that doesn't want to search for or leave their belongings in those disgusting, sometimes broken airplane seat pockets - the TrayBien is for you!

With compartments for everything, simply place the TrayBien over the tray table in front of you, and relax knowing all your stuff is right at your fingertips. The TrayBien covers the entire tray, front and back - which means that you are not placing food and beverages on the germ filled surface, but instead on your own TrayBien!

The TrayBien also has a small elastic hook and Velcro to secure your belongings so nothing falls out when the tray table is opened.

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.
