Little Jet Set's Online Store Makes Family Travel Easy and Fun with Award-Winning Travel Products for Kids

Interlaken, NJ (Vocus) February 18, 2008 -- In 2007, more than 26 percent of commercial flights arrived late or were canceled. It was the second worst year on record for the airline industry, and analysts predict that it is likely to get worse. Thus, it is imperative that parents traveling with kids put extra time and effort into planning, preparing and packing for their trips. First stop -- Little Jet Set (http://www.littlejetset.com) -- an online store that sells fun and functional travel products for kids.

Launched in June 2007, Little Jet Set is the brainchild of two moms, Hana Wolf and Nisha Cordero, who know how to keep young travelers comfortable, engaged and unplugged on long trips. Drawing upon their own considerable travel experience with kids, Wolf and Cordero seek out books, games, puzzles, toys, arts and crafts, and other activities that foster creativity, thinking, happiness and family interaction, and absolutely nothing with batteries or licensed cartoon characters. Plus, everything is specifically designed for, or appropriately packaged, for travel.

To keep kids comfortable, Little Jet Set offers super soft travel pillows and blankets in bright colors, fun patterns and animal designs, as well as plush travel companions. And to carry all this great stuff, parents can choose from a wide selection of fun and functional kids' luggage, backpacks, totes, diaper bags, and even lunch bags for packing healthy snacks.

For families getting ready to take a trip by car, plane, boat or train, here are a few Little Jet Set favorites to consider:

About Little Jet Set:

Little Jet Set was conceived in November 2006 (site launched in June 2007), by Hana Wolf and Nisha Cordero, two time-constrained moms and attorneys who were frustrated with how much time and effort went into preparing and packing for family trips. They were tired of spending countless hours going from store to store either online or on foot in search of everything they needed to ensure the most enjoyable and least stressful travel experience possible. Enter Little Jet Set: a one-stop shopping destination for everything a parent needs to make traveling with kids easy, fun and educational.
