This fun backpack from Zid Zid kids is a practical gift idea for a little guy on the go. Many kids are fascinated by planes and other mechanical gadgets, and this plane-shaped bag is a great way to carry around toy cars, daily necessities, or other treasures. The metallic vinyl and brightly colored accents make it attractive and hip. It closes with a zipper for easy access. You can purchase one of these handmade bags for $52 at theredballoon.com.

Here’s a unique diaper bag that either a mom or dad could carry without feeling out of place. Made by Allen Ave., this bag features a great orange air plane print on a rich brown background. Designed to stand upright on its own, this bag is easy to pack and unpack. It has lots of pockets to keep all those infant essentials organized, and a padded shoulder strap to ease the burden of all that stuff. Plus, since it doesn’t look like a traditional diaper bag, it will serve you well as an overnight bag once your little one is out of diapers. You can purchase one for $99.99 at Oompa.com.

Even though by children are all girls, my attention is occasionally engaged by something geared toward boys. This airplane blanket from Cocalo is one such product. I really like the print and the color combination. There is something very aesthetically pleasing about it. It measures 30″ x 40″ with this modern airplane print on one side and solid blue on the other. Brown satin trim completes the look.  It is fully machine-washable and perfect for on the go. You can purchase one for the very reasonable price of $24 at Kangaroodles.com.

This Airplane Berber Fleece Pullover looks perfect for the cold weather. It’s made by Cyndy Love Designs from 100% polyester and is generously sized - which means it’s a very comfy fit. It looks especially roomy at the neck opening for easy on, easy off. Some kids get a little panicky when they’re trying to pull a sweatshirt or t-shirt over their head and it’s a little too snug. I like that this Pullover is designed with kids in mind.

Oh, and the little airplane on the front of the Pullover - it’s a real toy! It’s completely contained in the acrylic pouch. This just makes it more fun for kids. Visit CyndyLoveDesigns.com to view this item, priced at $45. It’s available in sizes infant to  8 and comes in Navy, Red, and Black.

This Baby Boy Airplane Bib looks luxurious. Made by Two Elizabeths, it’s not just a bit of terry cloth - it’s reversible, with top-stitching that gives it that finished look. There is a matching burp cloth and t-shirt (sold separately) that would make a great gift for moms expecting a little boy. I think this Airplane Bib has a kind of retro-look to it (must be the WWII  airplane) that makes this a unique gift. Visit BarefootBella.net to order this item, on sale now for just $8 (down from $10).

What little boy doesn’t imagine he’s an airplane at some time during his toddlerhood? This Zoooom-Arounds Sky Rider by North American Bear Co. allows him to fulfill that dream. It’s made of soft velboa and has a velcro back flap that adjusts to fit the waist sizes of most 3 year olds. It also has  “engaging surprise sounds” according to the manufacturer - I can only guess what those might be (and how loud they could be as well!)

The Zoooom-Arounds Sky Rider measures 26″ x 27″ and sells for $49.95 at HunkyDoryOnline.com. It would make a great holiday gift.

Over 90% of all injuries on commercial airlines occur during flight, yet children held in parents’ laps are unrestrained. The Baby B’Air Flight Vest has been tested to exceed FAA stress tests levels for aircraft seats.

It’s not comfortable to think about, but for parents who must air travel with their infants or toddlers, it is something you must be prepared for. Your child will be restrained while wearing the Flight Vest; however, it is designed to be comfortable and easy to wear allowing the child to be held, fed and changed while in the garment. Just think of it like a child front carrier that allows you to “bond” with your child.

The Baby B’Air comes in two size options: Toddler (6mos-2years) or Infant (6 weeks-6mos). You can purchase one for $29.95 at OneStepAhead.com.

One of the best toys I remember playing with as a kid is a little cabbage patch car that I could ride around for hours on end. They same concept still applies with this great Red Baron Pedal Plane that is a huge step up from the ones that were around when I was a kid.

This baby has custom wheel pants, engine cowling, a padded seat, an extra wing with struts and custom decals so it looks like the real thing! The best part is that when your little one is pedaling the propeller spins too!

The nonslip pedals and powder coat paint helps keep your child safe while riding. You can check this plane out and others at poshtots.com. The Red Baron Pedal Plane goes for $598.

Want to take your mealtime play to a whole new level of realism? The Baby Plane Spoon can help you out. This spoon certainly looks fun, although I’m not sure how you hold on to it. The plastic plane piece can be removed from the spoon for easy clean-up. I think this would make a cute gift/conversation piece, but I’m not sure I would want to deal with it myself for regular feedings. If you would like to purchase one, you can find them at www.wishingfish.com. Each spoon costs $15.
