You're not stupid! Read our in-depth reviews before purchasing that product you saw on TV!

Let’s face it, road trips with kids can be a real chore: The kids get cranky, particularly since they are strapped into their seats. Even if they eventually drop off to sleep, they tend to be sore when they wake up, because their heads droop and the seat belt cuts into their neck.

I know that my kids were always complaining that they were bored and had nothing to do on trips. We would end up making a lot of stops so that the kids could get out and run around, making our trips take a lot longer than they should. Still, there wasn’t much we could do about it. So whenever we went for a long drive, we, and the kids, just had to suffer.

Then I saw the ad for SeatPets one day on TV and thought it was a pretty interesting product that would at least help make the kids more comfortable on long car rides. We ordered one for each of the kids and, wow. . .what a difference! While it may not necessarily solve the boredom issue, it definitely has made them much more comfy while in the car and they tend to sleep better too.

How SeatPets Work

SeatPets look like stuffed animals, but they are actually cushions that contain an interior space for storage along with an adapter strap in the back. Just slide the seat belt through the adapter strap and you are good to go. When the kids get strapped in, the SeatPet sits in front of them, acting as a pillow for when the kids want to nod off.

The SeatPet’s inner compartment has several zippered pouches where you can tuck surprises, such as candy, crayons or stickers. There’s also a larger compartment you can fill with books and scratch pads. The kids have a fun friend to travel with, along with plenty of things to do!

Another great aspect about these things is they are machine-washable. So when the kids get them dirty, you can just throw them in the wash and they will be good as new.

Here’s a few closeup pictures to give you a better idea how they work:

Pros and Cons

Like any product, SeatPets have their pros and cons. Here are a few:

Pros:

• Soft, fun plush animals calm kids during long drives.
• SeatPets heads act as pillows, preventing sore necks and red marks from seat belts.
• If you order online, you can get a free backpack strap, turning SeatPets into a backpack when not in the car.
• Inside compartments can be filled with in-car activities. Add extra treats during your trip if your kids behave!
• SeatPets are machine washable.

Cons:

• They only come in one size.
• Some of the light colored SeatPets can get dirty quickly. This is why it’s good that they are machine-washable.

Where to Buy

I would definitely recommend you buy your SeatPets through the official website which is where I got mine from. You’ll get a money back guarantee and special bonuses, such as a discount when you buy more than one SeatPet. You’ll also get a free backpack strap so your kids can turn their SeatPets into a backpack and use them all the time, not just when you are in the car.

Final Recommendation

If you have kids or grandkids, get SeatPets. This product can really keep your kids more comfortable while you are on the road, making trips less stressful for both you and them. I am very happy with my purchase and I know you will be as well!
