Kids / Child Travel Pillows

Toddler Travel Pillow or Neck Pillow! Power Naps on the road!

In addition to having plenty of activities to keep your children busy in the car on long trips, it's also important to make sure everyone is well rested. Traveling can be very tiresome, especially for children and toddlers. Nap time is extremely important for everyone on your trip -- including the parents!

One way to make sure your child is well rested is to make sure they are comfortable and can actually sleep while they are buckled into their car seat. There are several types of child travel pillows that are available depending on the age of your child.  One of the biggest problems that travelers of any age have is trying to sleep upright. 

There are car seat travel pillows that work well for toddlers. Also, just a general child travel neck pillow. Finally, there is a nice travel pillow option for older children. 

These are my top picks for child travel pillows:
 

Noodlehead Travel Buddies - Neck Pillows Adorable with a capital "A"

Look how cute these are!  This is another very popular child's travel neck pillow. We have several of them and my children love them! I personally give this one two thumbs up, and I've had many readers tell me how much their children love these. Neck pillows are great for older kids. They are perfect for  adding a little extra comfort in the car, whether just riding and reading, or for resting. They have several different animal pillows to choose from. The fabric is really soft and the cute characters make them extra cuddly

 

Seat Belt Snoozer - Travel Rest Travel Pillow for bigger kids This car pillow is designed for children who have moved out of their car seat. It attaches with velcro to the shoulder belt and is very easy to use. The Travel Rest pillow stays firmly in place. It cradles your child's head for a comfortable and safe snooze while their seatbelt remains securely buckled.
Or, try the Sunshine Seatbelt Pillow.  This works on the same premise as the one above, but with a slightly simpler design. It doesn't have the behind-the-neck-suport shown above which can sometimes plop that head too far forward on some children.

 
 

Rest UpRight Travel Pillow This thing looks crazy, but it works!

Unfortunately, this item doesn't seem to be currently available at amazon right now. I will let you know when I have found a substitute supplier! It stops that head from flopping forward in the car seat, and it's adjustable to the height of your child, which makes it great for children of various ages.  There are dozens of positive reviews on this travel pillow from parents whose children love this thing. An occasional parent had a child that didn't take to it, but overwhelmingly most of them love it. This childs travel pillow is fantastic on a long trip. It comes as a pink upright pillow or other colors. Kids love to "hug" it and plop their head forward for a snooze. Zzzzzzz!

 

Cradler Adjustable Car seat Pillow This is a set of pillows made especially for your toddler or infant car seat. It helps them keep their head from flopping over so that their neck is more comfortable.  Works best when your child is still in a rear facing car seat.

Child travel pillows help make your child more comfortable for long journeys. It can be a place to rest their head, or even their feet!   Remember -- More comfort equals less whining!
