I never believed it would be feasible to travel with an infant, but I came to realize that this stage is actually the best time to explore the world with them. Infants go through frequent naps which can extend into overnight sleep. Nevertheless these toys have proven to keep my daughter engaged and entertained while she is awake. Soft books have not only fostered bonding moments between us during flights but have also sparked imaginative storytelling that we both enjoy. Additionally, the presence of soft toys has offered a sense of security amidst new environments and unfamiliar faces. Teethers have consistently offered pain relief during flights and while traveling. Holding onto these comforting, vibrant items have also played a significant role in ensuring her sense of security and entertainment. Spinner toys, with their repetitive motion, provide both relaxation and amusement for my infant, making them great travel toys.
