This Play Mat Ensures You’ll Never Step on a LEGO Again

by Shahrzad WarkentinJanuary 1, 2021

Creative play can be messy, but that doesn’t mean that cleaning up has to be a challenge. With the new SlideAway storage system, clean-up time is a breeze!

The SlideAway is a unique toy basket which doubles as a play mat. So how does it work?

Simply dump your toys, like blocks, dolls or those mischievous LEGO bricks that always seem to go astray on to the mat for play time. The play area is surrounded by a small lip to ensure that toys stay on the mat. Once play time is over, all you have to do is pull the basket’s built-in handles and the SlideAway does all the work for you. The mat along with the toys will disappear into the basket until next time.

The creative storage system was designed by parents of five, Adam and Dana Sue Hinkle who obviously discovered a need for a streamlined way to organize and store toys in their own lives.

In addition to the SlideAway Toy Storage Basket and Play Mat which sells for $69.99, their company Creative QT, also offers a smaller On-The-Go Toy Storage Bag and Play Mat. The smaller version, which sells for $20, is perfect for trips to Grandma’s house or storing school supplies.

mifold Just Launched a New Travel Booster & It’s Way Comfy

by Karly WoodNovember 3, 2020

Traveling with kids is a ton of work, especially when you have to plan for all the extra gear. Luckily, if you have booster-age kiddos, there’s a new seat in town––and it’s a game changer.

mifold has been around for years, but the new Comfort Grab-and-Go booster ($34.99) next level. Like the original, it’s ten times smaller than regular car boosters but the new version offers a seat cushion that is three times thicker––super important for long car rides.

The mifold is great for traveling abroad, ride-hailing, carpooling and pretty much anytime you don’t want to lug a bulky booster seat with you. The compact size makes it ideal for slipping in a purse, backpack, luggage or even your glove box. Bonus? It makes fitting three kiddos in the backseat a breeze!

The new Comfort Grab-and-Go booster is available on mifold.com or on Amazon in three colors: charcoal gray, ocean blue and royal purple.
