Little Jet Setters Travel Toys Review

I reviewed the Little Jet Setters grab and go set a few months ago, and when I found out last month that we were travelling to South Africa, with a 12 hour stopover in Amsterdam, and then doing a five-country tour by car with an almost 2-year old, I knew that it was time to call in reinforcements, so I stocked up on a whole range of Little Jet Setters stock to keep us sane on our many hours of travel.

My hand luggage stuffed with a Beach Sticker Book, two ‘Go To’ books and an Acquadoodle Tray Table Cover, my daughter and I set off on our adventure.

Little Jet Setters Travel Toys Review

First out on the plane, was the Beach Sticker Book. Basically, this is a two-page ‘book’ or play board, which opens up to reveal a glossy kind of paper with a beach scene printed on it (you can see what I mean in the image with my daughter above). It comes with reusable stickers, featuring the Little Jet Setters cast – a girl, boy, leopard and kangaroo – which you’ll find on all the range.

The great thing about this is that the stickers can be stuck on and pulled off again and again, and can in fact also be used in the ‘Go To’ story books.

There’s no age recommendation on the website for this set, but I did find that with a not-yet-two-year-old who liked to stick them to the carpet, the chair, the wall, herself and our in-flight blankets, they lost their stickiness towards the end of the flight, but they were still useable, if looking a little worn. For an older child who knows not to do that, I think it’s a simply superb set, but I must admit, for a younger child the magnetic set is much more suitable.  Even so, we definitely had hours of entertainment out of the set and at £2.99 per set, it can’t really be faulted.

Travel Accessories For Kids 20% Off @ Little Jet Setters: PlayPennies Exclusive

About six weeks ago, I wrote a review of the Little Jet Setters Grab and Go pack. With holidays coming up and being planned and so on, we thought now was a great time to revisit these packs, and everything else on the site and offer you a lovely 20% off too.

Grab your Little Jet Setters and Go

  • Discount: 20%
  • Discount Code:FirstTrip
  • Valid On: Everything
  • Expires: 31 July 2011

So what is this set all about?

Well, you can read the full Little Jet Setters Grab and Go review here, but in short, it’s a travel bag that contains everything you need for your next trip – especially if you’re flying – ready to go in a little bag.  It contains a soft toy, a (simply superb) travel toy clip, 3 paper bibs, 3 change pads, a reusable sticker play set and a reusable magnet play set.  There’s a crayon set and doodle area, 20 all-natural baby wipes, and an after mess gel.

Apart from the packs, you can for example buy a blanket backpack, which was £14.99, but now is £11.99. These are fantastic – a great way to have your own blankie, and keep it clean too!

And then, my personal favourite is, well, either of the acquadoodle totes (now £11.99) – the tray cover seems ideal for public transport, doesn’t it? (And at only £10.40 with this offer, is fantastic value for money.)

So there’s plenty to choose from – I’ve only highlighted a few – to make your travels easier this summer.

Happy travels!

Little Jet Setter Grab And Go Pack Review

Little Jet Setter Grab And Go Pack Review

Little Jet Setters Grab And Go is “all you need to travel with young children.” Or at least that's what the packaging claims.

I must admit, I pretty much agree.

The Grab and Go Pack includes:

  • A soft toy – small enough to be something to play with and cuddle up to without needing to book an extra seat.
  • A travel toy clip – this is a rather odd, but very useful little gadget if you don't want to be bending down and crawling around under seats to find lost toys for your whole flight or journey.
  • 3 Disposable bibs – although I'm not much a fan of disposable items, environmentally speaking, these are definitely very useful on longer journeys. They are soft but very strong, and plenty absorbent. And way better than a wet or dirty top after a bit of turbulence or a bump in the road.
  • 3 Disposable change pads – again, very useful – assuming you don't have a change pad in your nappy bag already. Still, they make nice little ground covers, and are very good quality.
  • A reusable sticker play set and a reusable magnet play set. I was really surprised by these, and they definitely made the pack a winner for me. We've saved the sticker set for our next trip, but the magnet set went down really well. I didn't expect my 18-month old to really care for it much, but it kept her entertained for ages. We actually just keep it in the car now for regular trips, and she loves it. The only down side is that the stickers themselves can get lost, but on the up side, the magnetic pad is travel toy clip ready.
  • Crayons and doodle area – the actual 'packaging' of this set turns over to be a colouring in page, which I thought was pretty inventive. The five crayons are thin though, so weren't ideal for Kyra, but then the packaging says it's for children 3 and up, so maybe it's fine.
  • All-natural baby wipes – ideal for travel, this smaller sized wet wipe bag is really useful too. They do say there's no alcohol, parabens or SLS 's, which was a relief because companies tend to go for the cheaper things sometimes, and here they obviously haven't. There are 20 wipes in the pack.
  • And finally, the After Mess Gel – while we don't normally use sterilisers and sanitisers, I did find this really useful on a flight where getting up to go to the bathroom to wash hands wasn't always possible. Of course, that's what the wipes are for too, but as I say, I found this to be a good substitute for water.

Overall, I'm really impressed with this set, its compactness and, especially in our case, its flight-readiness. Available at Little Jet Setters for £19.99.
