(Publisher's Note: Traveling with children can be a pleasure if you are prepared. This article provides information on some of the more popular baby travel accessories.)

With so many things that are needed to make a trip away from home successful, there are even more baby travel accessories that are necessary as well. Whether it is time for feeding, sleeping, changing, or playing, there are many different items available to make any trip less stressful for both the children and the parents.

When in the car on long trips, any baby travel accessories that can help with entertaining the child or feeding the child are especially helpful. Unfortunately, infants and toddlers are not very neat and tidy when they eat, and many cars upholstery gets absolutely ruined from the messes that are made when snacking in the car. There are seat covers that guard the upholstery of your vehicle against spills, crumbs, smears, dents, and abrasions from infant and toddler car seats as well. Some of them are designed to only really protect against spills, but there are other more high end ones that contain a high rebound foam core and a non skid bottom to prevent the mat from slipping all over and off of the seat. Some of the mats protect the seat only, and others cover from the bottom of the seat to the top of the backrest as well. They are easy to use, they can be used with booster seats, they prevent those indentations in your vehicle seats that a car seat leaves, and best of all, they are easy to clean with a little soap and a sponge.

Another indispensible baby travel accessory is the playpen or play yard cover. Especially when a family is staying in a hotel, playpens that are rented or borrowed can have side rails that are full of dust, dirt, grime, and unseen germs from other children that have used them. It is difficult to tell for sure if the equipment has been cleaned or sterilized well, but with a play yard cover, all it takes is a few minutes to form a hygienic barrier between those germs and a child. These covers are like soft slipcovers that slide right onto a portable crib or play yard and pull right off when it is time to leave. The covers are popular for use also at day care centers, with babysitters, and with child care workers as well.

Have you ever tried to feed an infant baby food from a jar or give a toddler finger food snacks while traveling in a car? It doesnt take too long to find that it is incredibly difficult to do, and that is why there are dining dishes and utensils that are specially designed for such trying times. There are special holders that attach to travel tables on strollers and car seats by a suction cup to anchor bowls, sippy cups, and even baby food jars securely in front of your child so that they wont spill all over. There are also utensils that are made of silicone or rubber that are super easy to grip and hold on to so that your toddler wont get frustrated or upset when he drops the spoon in the car, and parents wont get frantic trying to drive while searching for them. Any of these popular baby travel accessories can help prevent what might be a stressful trip for the whole family.
