Important Advisory:
We are now requiring companies to provide us with documentation that their products have been tested by an independent lab for phthalates and lead.
Please click here for submission requirements for new products. However, as we are not a lab, we will not be independently verifying those
results. Also, with the exception of the 2008 Platinum Toy Awards, toys
submitted for review prior to January 2008 were not tested for lead.

Travel
Toys for Summer 2003
|
| |
If you're
traveling by plane, be sure to bring snacks, extra changes
of clothes and your sense of humor! One parent told us that
she was sure that the police would be waiting for her on
the other end of the trip since her daughter cried for her
daddy for the entire five-hour trip to California.
With luck
we will remember the best parts of traveling with our kids,
and not just the horror stories. Planning ahead can make
getting there and back less of a chore, and leave more room
for happy memories.
Here are
some top-picks to keep kids busy along the way:

Travel Lite-Brite
|
(
Hasbro
$$7.99$
)
We are not in agreement about this toy (probably because one of us wanted this toy for her 5th birthday and never got it!). That said, there is the potential that all the little pieces (all 160 of them) will fall on the floor of the train, plane, or automobile. But still, it's a lot of fun if you like Lite Brite! Age:
Early School Years.
Phone: 800-752-9755.
