Travel Buddies And Bag Buddies By Noodle Head {Review & Giveaway}

A few weeks ago I posted a review of Pawparazzi, which is made by Noodle Head. I have known about Pawparazzi for quite some time now, but didn't realize that Noodle Head made so many other great products! They also make Jelly Flyers, Fun Kits, and products for Travel and Adventure. The Travel and Adventure products make travel fun for kids, and include Adventure Logs, Bag Buddies and Travel Buddies. We were given the opportunity to review some Travel Buddies and Bag Buddies!

My kids fall asleep in the car a lot, especially if we're taking a long drive. There have been so many times when I have looked back to check on them and they are sound asleep. I see their heads slumped forward and I always wonder how they can possibly be comfortable. Well chances are, they aren't. That's where Travel Buddies come in.

Travel Buddies™ neck pillows are designed to comfortably support sleepy heads on planes, trains, and automobiles. Kids will want to take them everywhere and won't leave them behind!

We received the Cat Travel Buddy for Rylie, and the Dog Travel Buddy for Bryce.

These aren't just any neck pillows for kids! They are super soft, and really comfortable. I have purchased other neck pillows in the past, and they were all just too big and bulky for little kids. These are just the right size for the little ones!

Rylie was "sleeping" in that second picture. She is already a little actress!

Rylie loves her Travel Buddy! She says it is soft and she likes to put her head on the kitty. It definitely keeps her head from bobbing around when she falls asleep in her car seat. Unfortunately, Bryce isn't able to use his yet. He is still rear facing, and because his seat leans back so far, the Travel Buddy doesn't really work for him. He does like to play with it in the car, though, and grabs it off the top of his seat every time we get in. The Travel Buddies are great for kids in forward facing car seats!

When my kids started at their new daycare last September, we were told they had to bring backpacks every day with their change of clothes, blanket, etc. The backpacks had to be labeled. Well since I didn't want to write on their backpacks with a marker, there was an ugly piece of tape stuck to the front with their name on it. Now that we have our Bag Buddies, though, the ugly piece of tape is gone!

Our Bag Buddies™ luggage tags let kids personalize any bag, backpack or stroller. A sturdy Velcro strap keeps this little travel companion securely fastened and a name tag is located on the belly of each animal.

We received matching Bag Buddies for both kids to review.

The first step was to personalize each Bag Buddy by writing the kids' names on them.

Then we attached them to their backpacks. It just so happens that the colors match perfectly!

You can put them in many different places, but Rylie decided we should put them on the straps. The Velcro strap holds the front legs of the Bag Buddy together very well, and keeps it in place where you want it. We haven't had them fall off yet.

Yes, Bryce is in his pajamas. He hadn't gotten ready to go to school yet. When I put the backpacks on the floor to take the picture, he grabbed his and put it on. He loves to wear his backpack!

I really like the Bag Buddies, and the kids do too! The best part? No more ugly tape!

These great Travel Buddies and Bag Buddies can be purchased directly from Noodle Head, or through many local and online retailers. The Travel Buddies are $14.50 and the Bag Buddies are $7.00.
