[@theateamtx]

God bless Connie we. Love you ur kids love you too❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😇❤️😇

[@caseynaaron06]

love the video! thanks for the tips! Just letting you know that for forward facing carseats the straps need to be at or above the shoulders, not below. I noticed two of them where forward facing with straps coming from below the shoulders. That could damage the spine in even a small crash.

[@rubyuna]

already love you, lizzy!! (your kids are adorable btw)

[@seherchoksi3725]

Hey Lizzy I love your show could you please test out products for rainy days

[@tmitchell79]

Thank you for these ideas! I haven’t heard of most of them before and I know my kids would be happily entertained by them. Not to mention, I love that none of them are involving the iPad. The more creative, the better! For the magna doodle I bet you could glue a plastic document pouch on the back to store the stencils. The dollar tree had some really cute ones with a snap closure in the fall and likely still have them.

[@paytonjacobellis8043]

Elle’s shirt matches the whatsupmoms logo lol it’s soooo cute though love this channel so much!😁💗😁💗😁💗😁💗😁

[@maikalaniplexico1585]

Looove this! I want to buy these all! With a road trip to and from Utah to Pennsylvania this summer (27 hours both ways) with five kids, I am soooooo excited to try these! Yay! Thanks guys!

[@StyleMySweets]

The water wow coloring books are AMAZING! We bring them everywhere and this is my daughter’s favorite thing to do!! I like the stencils on that magnetic drawing pad too!! 😍

[@angelinthemissionfield]

The artwork "problem solved" had me cracking up, I had to pause the video! 😂🤣😂

[@pallavit.3313]

Angel Rogers 👋 👋 hi

[@Maroon58]

Great video! Just ordered 2 of the products listed for my nephew. Thanks for including kids 5+..sometimes its a hard age to find toys that aren't too kidish or too old.

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

Woohoo!

[@HowToForYouChannel]

That magnetic doodle board is very useful! Kids get really creative and it has colors! It is a great tool if your kids love to draw and you can take it everywhere!

[@katepadilla]

Love all these ideas! We're a big road trip/travel family. We found a dvd/tablet combo, with wi-fi and a car plug in. We can download Netflix shows for options, and pack some movies for back up. Around $100, but so worth it.

[@tangytoms9885]

Amazing Lizzie and Elle keep it up 😊

[@andreaschultz7478]

Hey I’m a mom of three I love hearing all the great things that you guys have to say I know this car has really helped we actually went to Massachusetts I know my little boy really liked The magnet maze and my daughter she’s the middle child I know she really enjoyed the boogie board and actually I have this new thing that we tried out it was these pillows that go onto the car seat like strap it’s a little pillow but also it’s a blanket do you mind reviewing that And my oldest she’s six years old she really really really like little unicorn choice and we have this black little table thing that straps onto my kids car seats and they can like play with Plato on it so yeah I really enjoyed this video thank you

[@praisegirly1]

LOVE this! We have a 12 hour road trip split in two days coming up this summer! Great ideas for both of my kiddos! 😁🙌🏼

[@tracieperez2629]

Loved your picks! My kids are actually a bit older, I wish they had these available when they were younger. And you two were fun to watch! Great ideas for some of my mom friends with littles.

The multicolored Ikea kids dish sets are amazing, my kids love having color coordinated dishes at dinner, love having fork, knife and spoon. And at $2.50! Totally affordable

[@papercraftingmom98]

Please review lap trays for the car. I travel with twin 4.5 year olds. I tried the cookie sheet, velcro'd it to a travel pillow or to a plastic case with their activities inside. But it slides of their laps. Which ones do u use that attach to them or their car/booster seats?

[@Fallinginbloom]

My friend has a boogie broad thing, he uses it to write out his homework and any school reminders he has. It works really well for that cause he can change it when he needs to. So it doubles for big and little kids! Also, love this series and you seem like so much fun. I'm super excited to see what's next

[@doseofdicamillo1811]

Loved this! We're travelling soon, so I'll be looking for some of these products. I'm also stoked that one of these mom's shares my name😎 I'd also love to see a special needs mom series too!

I am in middle school and 13 and I have a boogie board for my schoolwork. Absolutely love It and don't only use it for schoolwork.

[@nestfeathers88]

This series is a great idea! It would be awesome to see videos on : different types of baby carriers and the pros/cons of the different options, different brands of "stroller gear" aka like organizers or accessories that make life easier on the go, accessories for organizing the diaper bag better, etc. Welcome, Lizzy! 😊😊

[@Kischa07]

Elle and Meg... I’ve been a follower for a long time and just have to say how much I am loving and appreciating your channel! It is evolving in such a great way. I’m a mother to 4. So much of your content is exactly what I need. It’s helpful and relatable. This addition and new mom is amazing. Maybe in future product reviews you could add things that haven’t worked? Mistakes to avoid type of review. Lol. Thanks for being authentic unlike some of the other channels... sponsorships on sponsorships. While I support the fact that sponsorships can be a good thing... too much of it can sway an authentic opinion! So yeah... Happy Aloha Friday and thanks again for all your hard work and diligence. 🌴🌸☀️

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

What an amazing comment that means so much Kischa!! This is a FANTASTIC idea and would be helpful/ potentially very funny. Adding to the list! Please keep the suggestions coming!! xx Elle

For the WaterWow, I remember having one as a kid, we loved it. Me and my sis brought it to the pool... We dunked it in the pool! It was cool to see it change all at once but it was not made to get fully wet, on,y a thin layer at the top.

[@crose174]

How about 35 hrs from florida to colorado with four kids (1 a baby) when we fled hurricaine irma. The kids were amazing and my husband and I decided we are definitely gonna do it every summer

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

OK, sounds like you need to make a video on this!!! Amazing! Glad you are OK. xx E

[@crose174]

WhatsUpMoms i dont make videos (i wouldnt even know where to start!) But I will say one thing I did was constantly compliment them on what a good job they were doing, and being super sympathetic when they started whining. And we played A Lot of old school games like license plate, I spy, off-key sing-alongs bc in our haste to leave I only brought one charger for all of us 😭. i brought a picnic blanket and the baby and I would lounge while the kids ran around like banshees at every rest stop. I encouraged them to roll in the grass, do jumping jacks whatever. People were really nice everywhere we went bc of the FL plate, so that helped too. And we'd never been out of state together so gawking at all the scenery changes took up a bit of our time too. We stopped at two state parks on the way back home (which was soooo much harder than on the way there) to break it up and we got to cross some major things off our bucket lists, including crossing 13 state lines! It was a bit crazy, but lets be real, life with four kids is always a bit crazy, even if you're just hitting up a grocery store 😂.

[@pinkymoreno8126]

Loved loved loved Lizzy! She's so laidback, easygoing and fun to listen to! Great choice with her. I really enjoyed and found this episode useful.
