Use Your Noodle

We've all been on the same road trip. After the “Are we there yet?” chorus, the snacks and spills, potty breaks, and sibling squabbles, the kids finally drift off to sleep. At last, you can put on some grown-up music and have an actual conversation up front.

If only their little heads weren't so slumped over. They don't seem to mind, but you can't help yourself, and reach back to just lift their chins a bit ... and all of a sudden everyone's awake. Ready for more I Spy.

So much for adult time.

To maximize snoozing on the road, what you really need for their little heads is a U-shaped neck support pillow, the kind savvy business travelers use to make long flights bearable. Travel Buddies from Noodle Head are the perfect hybrid of cozy stuffed animal and useful travel tool. Each squishy, plush pillow is soft and supportive, and sized just right for kids. The charming styles include a lion, frog, giraffe and bear, plus a blue spotted dog and a purple cat (a horse, alligator, seal and pink hippo are in the works). Each critter is cleverly designed to cradle a child's neck and perch adorably on their shoulder, offering comfort and companionship as they eliminate bobble-head.

So don't forget the copy of your latest thriller. You just might have some quiet time to read.
