Traveling with kids, be it by plane, train, or automobile, has its challenges. Immobilizing children (ironic, isn't it -we're moving, sit still!) while asking them to maintain an indoor voice, a sweet disposition, and, while we're at it, hurry up and have fun, is a bit like asking the sun not to go down at the end of the day. Good luck with that. But help (of the fun, playful variety) has arrived. SeatPets, the ultimate t...Read more
