I Took My Toddlers to Jackson Hole — This $7 Bib and Portable Car Seat Saved the Trip

The WAYB Pico Portable Car Seat ($449)

This car seat is incredible. It weighs just eight pounds, fits in a backpack, and installs quickly. It's worth the investment because you can bring it on the plane for a kid to sit in, or place it in the overhead compartment. This is a nonnegotiable for me as I've had airlines lose my car seats three times when I've checked them. Dealing with a lost car seat with tired kids after a 12-hour travel day is torture. I also use it at home to fit three car seats across one row of my car when I have family in town.
