Be prepared for anything (and we mean anything!) with these must-have on-the-go baby gear picks.On-the-Go Baby Gear! Perfect parent products in a pinch.

by Vicki Salemi

We know your type: You’re hip. You’re happening. (And let’s say it together now…) You’re super busy.  On the go 24/7, you do what any smart parent would do – you check out cool baby products geared toward helping out parents in a pinch.

Fold Away Potty Seats

Unlike those nasty Port-a-Johns (the outdoor make-shift green little outhouses we’ll use in case of emergency and we do mean an emergency), these mini portable potties for your little one are almost worthy of being called Port-a-Janes; that is, they’re that sweet. For instance, the On the Go Potty by Kalencom is for your little tyke 18 months old and up. With three disposable liners and a plastic carrying case with drawstring, this lightweight potty is geared for your road trip pit stops and fits right on top of normal toilets.

Dad-Focused Diaper Vests

How much do we love these, let us count the pockets… The folks at DadGear have the hottest invention in parenting gear. Think style. Think purpose. Think manly mangear.  This innovative twist in which the traditional diaper bag meets fisherman’s vest lets fathers grab diapers in strategically placed compartments.  Two large pockets on the interior can be used for diapers or other baby gear, two pockets on the side of the vest may be used for bottles, and as for the right chest zippered pocket? Quick access to baby wipes for spit-up emergencies, of course.

Portable Snack Trays

Courtesy of the folks at Fisher Price, we’re particularly gaga over their car seat snack tray. Where else could you have a make-shift tray that attaches to most car seats and strollers? There are two clamps for a better fit and get this – it hsold sippy cups, juice boxes, and bottles. The three different sections are fab for snacks on the go like chopped apples or little PB&J triangles.

Travel High Chairs

Picture it: a high chair that’s lightweight, safe, sturdy, and goes everywhere you do! This high chair clamps onto most tables and voila (snap fingers here!) it creates an instant high chair whenever you need it.  The travel high chair from Phil & Ted’s weighs only two pounds and collapses to one inch of thickness. The nylon seat makes it easy to clean and the frame and clamps provide a secure grip.

Take Along Toys

They’re portable. They’re adorable. Better yet, we’re wondering if they’ll make them for adults!  For instance, the Manhattan Toy Company’s dog take along toy is designed to stimulate and strengthen your baby’s new skills. It rattles, squeaks, and rotates as your little one can honk the paws, pull the legs and arms, and wiggle-jiggle the entire body.  As for the best part? The fabric loop allows you to attach it to strollers, carriers, and car seats.  Road trip, anyone?

Portion Snack Cups

If you sometimes feel like a walking kitchen, you’re not alone. In your right pocket perhaps you’ll find a baggie of Cheerios. In your backpack or purse, perhaps a banana. As for the left-hand coat pocket? A bottle of water. In any event, The First Year’s take & toss portion snack cups allow you to carry customized portion-controlled snacks in a no-spill container that’s sectioned off so your raisins don’t intermingle with your Goldfish. Now that’s what we call smart snacking.
