Traveling with Children…Bring Diono Along! {2016 Holiday Gift Guide}

With the holidays literally just around the bend, we are all thinking about this year’s gift giving. Diono is a company that offers safety items for babies and children. Not only do their products meet all safety standards, but they are also practical and affordable. They have come up with two products that I find invaluable for parents, especially while traveling, or even just riding in the car. Both are excellent choices for holiday gift giving.

The first item is the Diono Dreamliner Travel Bassinet.

It is ready for use anywhere, anytime and it is a perfect travel “companion” for overnight stays. There is absolutely no assembly required, and the bassinet folds away into its own carrying bag when not being used.

It has a comfortably padded mattress with a removable mattress cover that is machine washable. Its hood is adjustable, and will protect baby from direct sunlight, as well as from wind and any other outdoor elements. There is even a net to cover the open space over the baby that will protect him or her from insects. The panels on either side of the Diono Dreamliner Travel Bassinet are a mesh material which gives baby plenty of ventilation and breathing room.

The Diono Traveler Dreamliner Bassinet comes in two colors, gray and teal, and runs about $69.99, which pays for itself hundreds of times over.

My two have grown out of their baby stage now, and, when we travel by car, they sit comfortably and safely in their own car seats. Thank goodness Diono has not forgotten about the older children! They have ingeniously designed the Diono Travel Pal, a bin that fits beautifully in the back seat of the car right between the two car seats.

It is deep enough to hold whatever my children want to bring with them on a trip, while keeping every item neat and organized. The bin has plenty of room to hold toys, books, and even games for their enjoyment while we travel. There are also two cup holders, both insulated, so the kids each have their own space for their favorite drink. The “cargo” bin has numerous pockets that they can fill with lots of small items, and the entire bin area is waterproof, which is one of my favorite features!

Diono Travel Pal sells for about $12.99, and is worth every penny! Before the Travel Pal, toys and books were everywhere, and would sometimes even end up on the car floor or under the seats. Drinks had nowhere to be stashed while not in use, and spills were a constant problem. Often a toy or a book was out of reach of one of the children, which would naturally become a reason to have to stop the car and retrieve the item in order to prevent a full blown melt down. With Diono Travel Pal, peace has once again ensued! Everything is within reach of each of the kids, and there are often such long stretches of silence that I have to check on them to see if they have fallen asleep. I take a look only to find them happily involved in their coloring books or games, sometimes with each other, sometimes on their own. But always having fun.

With a wide range of innovative and reliable baby products, Diono has proven its commitment to safety and convenience for parents. From car seats to strollers and beyond, Diono offers top-notch options for families on the go. You can find more options here including highly-rated and trusted best travel cribs.
