I recently did some over-seas travelling with my two children. If any of you have ever made a trans-Atlantic flight by yourself with two toddlers, I’m sure you can sympathize with the situation. Even though my youngest is under two, I bought her a seat to save myself from a gruelling 9 hour ride with her on my lap. Unfortunately, it didn’t put an end to all the pushing, jostling and climbing over one another for comfort and entertainment.

Other than the fact that they had both pushed all the buttons on the armrest – calling the flight attendant to our seats several times – lifted the window shade up and down repeatedly, opened the table top over and over and kicked the chair of the person sitting in front of us more times than I can mention, the flight wasn’t that bad.

On the other hand, the amount of stuff I had to take on the plane with us was ridiculous. Diapers, wipes, milk, snacks, toys, games, books, crayons, flash cards, extra clothes, favourite blanket, small pillow, bottles, and medicine (as my little one was sporting the start of a fever), all got shoved into my tiny on-board suitcases.

To prevent all of it from jiggling and sloshing around in our bags I used the amazing Goober Baby Tote Bag that I got online at babygrins.ca.

I can’t say enough about these simplistic yet ingenious tote bags. Built with a clear plastic front, they made looking for something so much easier because I could see exactly what was in the bag without having to open it and dump out the contents. They were the ultimate in keeping similar items together and important things safe, and protected all my things from the cherry cough syrup spill that happened on the way home. Easy to label and fun to use, I only wish I had more.

Babygrins.ca has a delightful selection in trendy fabrics, for all kinds of uses.  They also have other neat products form Goober Baby such as Goober Baby Change Purse, Travel Size Wipes & Diaper Tote. The Goober Baby Change Purse has won Seal of Approval from PTPA Media, where parents test and approve great products.

I also have to say, if you haven’t been to Babygrins.ca you may want to just check out some of their amazing and brilliant products. Babygrins is easy and convenient shopping for busy parents and savvy gift givers. With great items like LegHuggers, the TogetherBe Peekaru Original Fleece Baby Carrier Cover, and The Snack Trap Spill Proof Snack Container just to name a few, you are certain to find exactly what you are looking for.
