Fun Educational Videos for Toddlers/kids When Traveling.

She also doesn't sleep in the car that well, so I'm not counting on any naps. She isn't into TV just yet - but has just started watching Kai Lan, so we will download...

Good Travel Crib (Need to Buy or Rent for Stay in Brigantine, NJ)

Can anyone suggest a good travel crib for a 19 month old (33 inches tall, 27 lbs)?

We have a pack 'n play, but I think she's too be for sleeping in it now.
