Why kids' fun animal travel pillow make a good gift

  • Sized for smaller heads and necks, so it fits better than an adult travel pillow.
  • Playful animal designs give kids a cuddly companion to look forward to on trips.
  • Works on planes, in the back seat and at sleepovers, so it gets use beyond one vacation.

What to look for

  • Check the recommended age range and size to match the child's height and build.
  • Look for a removable, machine-washable cover, since kids' travel gear gets messy quickly.
  • Pick an animal or colour the child already loves, and check for small detachable parts.
