Disclosure: We received a sample product to help facilitate the review. All opinions stated, however, are genuine and my own.
My son LOVES the commercials for Seat Pets and every time it comes on, without fail, he says he wants one. Imagine his surprise when I gave him the dog (his favorite) a couple of days ago,without warning.
Right away he wanted to test it out, which we did. He's too young to go out sans carseat, but he brought it along to snuggle and snooze. The Seat Pets have three pockets, one that zips for storage, which means everything can be tucked nicely into one spot. And they're nice and comfy. I like it for the car (for older kids who are not in the carseat), and I like it for the snuggle factor.
Mostly, I am anticipating its use on our next long airplane flight. It has a strap to carry it across your back (like a backpack), and it's very lightweight, so at 5-yrs.-old, my son can carry it with ease. The pockets mean my son can carry his things with him, have them in one spot. The support it offers means his head won't be hanging while he's trying to sleep (I hate when that happens, it's so hard to position them so they're comfy while they're sleeping in a car or airplane). You can see from the picture that it's nice and long too, almost a body pillow for the little guy.
Ours is in the house now and has a name (never mind the cute name it came with, that's irrelevant at this point), 'Doggy Dog.' I'll let you guess who named him. Hint: It's the same person who named his fish 'Fishy Fish.'
Have you seen these around? Would you use one in the car? My teen loves it and wants to steal it. I told her it's her brother's. She said she wants one for Christmas. I believe her...she takes a pillow anytime we're in the car longer than a couple of hours. :) And...she may just get one, who knows? We'll leave that up to Santa Clause. ;)

Omg....so cute :D
ReplyDeleteThey have a lot of other designs that are just as cute too! Thanks for the visit. :)
DeleteMy 5 year old loves those commercials too. It's good to know that it's a good product. Perhaps Peanut has something else to add to his Christmas list. :)
ReplyDeleteMy son loves his. :)
DeleteThey look so cute! I could image having one as a bed pillow as well :) X
ReplyDeleteThat's where his is right now. :)
DeleteFirst I ever heard of them, but sounds like they do the trick. I just use a normal pillow in the car, can I name it pilly pillow lol
ReplyDeleteIt's your pillow, Pat. You can name it whatever you want. :)
DeleteMy nephew would love one of those! What a great idea! He would probably take it everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be our go-travel dog. ;)
DeleteI just got one to review too - the cow. We used it yesterday on a long car ride and the kids loved it. Thanks for telling me what the strap was for b/c I had no clue LOL.
ReplyDeleteThere's a video on the website that's awesome for showing what it does. I'd have liked to have had it embedded but there wasn't a code. :) Def. worth a look. The cow's cute. :)
DeleteI have seen these on several sites and think they are perfect for keeping kids content in the car. I wish they had these when my kids were younger.
ReplyDeleteThey're useful and comfy too.
DeleteThanks for stopping by. :)
That is one cool and cute seat pet Rosey:) Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Judy. I thought that was cute too, I'm glad we have it. :)
DeleteThat is absolutely cute. I actually want one for myself, because most of the time my husband is driving, so I could need a cuddle buddy :)
ReplyDeletelol, my daughter's as big as me and she wants it. ;)
DeleteThat would be perfect for the airplane!
ReplyDeleteI think they look fun! I could see my husband not liking them. He doesn't like toys going out of the house one bit! I think he'd feel like these are too much like toys.
It is perfect for the plane because it's SO lightweight!
DeleteMy sons have been asking me for one of these!! They'd probably go with the puppy and the lion :)
ReplyDeleteThey have a lot of cute options. :) I like that you can get different ones for the kids to quell arguing over who's is who. ;)
DeleteAwww... I like that they're like pillows too! You son is so handsome.
ReplyDeleteI like that they're pillows too. :)
Deletethanks for the review. I thought it wouldn't work with a car seat, but I can clearly see he enjoys it even with the car seat. Thanks for the info babe.
ReplyDeleteHe's not using it with the carseat though, he's just snuggling with it, and he's fallen asleep on it once too. When he goes to his booster car seat (any day) we'll attach it to the traditional seatbelt strap. :)
DeleteNever heard of them. Will have to check them out! We travel quite a bit...whether its just out of town or overnight and I'm sure the kids would appreciate them!
ReplyDeleteKids love these things! I'm hoping it's something my little guy will like for awhile because it does keep his head cushioned when he falls asleep in the carseat.
Deletethose look cute! i hadn't heard of it!
ReplyDeleteThey keep the seatbelt in place and comfortable for them too (when the're in a booster or traditional seat).
Deletebroxton wants one SO BAD... every time the commercial comes on, he asks for it :)
ReplyDeleteThey did a good job with those commercials. The kids knew what a Seat Pet was long before I did. ;)
DeleteLooks like he really loves his new pet. I have seen this product before and seems like a perfect purchase for kids.
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun/useful invention. :)
DeleteBrilliant idea! I would like to have one too. I always want a pillow on long trips!
ReplyDeletelol, it's funny that some of you big people (my daughter included) want these. :) They're easier to store than a pillow, that's for sure (and cuter too ;) ).
DeleteAllison would totally flip for one of these. Stuffed animals are her weakness, and being able to have one in the car at all times? Pure bliss for her, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteChristmas maybe? My son's on a Lego loving spree now, I have a sneaking suspicion his Christmas want-list is going to be more expensive this year than it was last year. ;)
DeleteI think these are adorable and have been wanting to let my daughter try one out! Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteI think they're cute too. Thanks for the visit. :)
DeleteThose are SO cute!! Great gift idea too and I've never heard of them so different from the usual gift options.
ReplyDeleteThese are a great gift idea, and they're nice and big too (kids like big gifts ;) ).
DeleteLOL, do they make these for adults?! I always pack a pillow for longer road trips..
ReplyDelete:) These are big enough for adults to use, I think. I haven't tried it though (I'm almost always the driver ;) ).
DeleteThis is so cute. I need to get my granddaughter one. She carries a stuffed animal everywhere.

I think these have a cute, animated look to them. They're sweet. :)
Deleteomg how cute i totally want one 4 my kids!!
ReplyDeleteThere's a bunch of different styles too, if you check out the site. :)
DeleteThese have got to be the cutest things I have seen in a while! I love that they will help keep the kids occupied on trips, too!
ReplyDeleteThey are cute! And the storage adds to the travel appeal too. I especially like the pocket with the zipper.
DeleteThat's really cute! I think my son's still too young for this. It looks like it's as big as he is, but he loves stuffed animals. I could definitely see myself buying one for him in a couple of years.
ReplyDeleteThese are big! I like that though, my little one's about to be 6, so it's just right. ;)
DeleteMy son loves his Seat Pet. He actually took it with him on our road trip to Chicago in July and I loved that he used it as a pillow when he fell asleep in the car.
ReplyDeleteI like it as a pillow too. It's a huge relief to know his head's not going to be flopping around when he falls asleep now.
DeleteLOL Doggy Dog!! Your son is adorable, he looks quite happy with his new buddy
ReplyDeleteHe does enjoy his new friend, and he likes using his new name too. ;)
DeleteThe seat pets are such a great idea!! That dog one is so cute.
ReplyDeleteI like that dog too. :)
DeleteOh I havent seen these before, very cute pet!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ashley. :)
DeleteThat photo on top is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI think these would be very nice for travel, especially driving long hours.
Thanks, Colette! It is great for travel!
DeleteMy son has been looking at the commercials and asking about one as well. He has a road trip scheduled for NY so have been thinking about surprising him with one too. Thanks for the review. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a great road trip surprise!
DeleteI love the idea of having something for the girls to rest their heads on. These look really cute.
ReplyDeleteThis one's a win-win for parents and kids. :)
DeleteSince my "baby" is 22, I have not seen these. Your son seems to really enjoy it though.
ReplyDeleteYour son is probably too old for it, hahaha
DeleteMy 20 yr. old takes a pillow on road trips though, still. ;)
My son is BEGGING for one! It's always a hassle with the falling asleep in the cars bit - I feel like they are going to snap their necks when they catch themselves middoze! These are really great - and I love that your boy loves his Doggy Dog!
ReplyDeleteIt's a terrible feeling when they're sleeping like that, I know. This was a good invention.
DeleteOh my gosh...those are SUPER cute! We just went on a road trip and I was searching for a pillow for my son. This is just the thing he needs!
ReplyDeleteIt's big but it doesn't take up a lot of room in the car because it's so flexible and thin.
DeleteThey advertise these pretty heavily on the kids stations and my boys have been asking for them for a while now.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what my son's going to say when the commercial plays now that he's got his, lol. That child's a walking commercial too, he knows everything they say.
DeleteMy daughter will love this. She always has to have something in the car with her.
ReplyDeleteThese are useful and cute. :) Thanks for the visit.
DeleteThat is so cute... it also seems like it could also double as a pillow.....
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool concept!
It does double as a pillow. :)
DeleteWowsers they are cute! But are they available in the UK **fingers crossed**
ReplyDeleteThey're available in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. :( Keep your fingers crossed and maybe they'll work their way over to your space! :)
DeleteThose are adorable and it looks like your little guy enjoyed his! I hadn't even thought about plane rides. It might be a good way to calm down a fidgety kid
ReplyDeleteHeather @ www.craftcravings.com
You can put surprise goodies in those pockets for the plane ride too. :)
DeleteThese are so cute, and I have to get one for my nephew because he would just love it. I think the dog one that your son got is the best one! I will have to take a look at these adorable pets.
ReplyDeleteWe like the dog best too, but there are a bunch of cute ones!
