The other day I was looking at a list of people tweeting about travel and noticed that quite of few of them were traveling parents and some that were traveling with their kids. This inspired me to take a look at some of the travel gadgets that are available for the parents and the kids.
One interesting gadget I came across was the "Ride-On Carry-On."
This baby travel gadget could be useful on a family trip through an airport, train station or bus terminal. "Ride-On Carry-On" turn your suitcase into a stroller by strapping on to just about any suitcase with wheels. It is made of a durable and washable 100% polyester fabric and is made to fit all 18" to 22" carry-on-bags. The chair comes with a five-point harness, similar to the ones found on car seats for toddlers. This way you can navigate through busy airport foot traffic without worrying that your child is going to fall out. You can also tilt or stand the suitcase up and the chair and your child will stay attached. It also collapses to fit in the overhead compartment and has a tray table built into the headrest. (Image)

Here are some more baby travel gadgets I came across:
Carriers and Backpacks
Car seat and toy and accessories for a car ride
Futuristic baby carrier - maybe too futuristic
Travel Car Bottle and Food Warmer
Easy View Back Seat Mirror

Airport travel 'gadget'

Priority Pass - I came across this travel 'gadget' awhile back while building out an affiliate account with CJ.com. When I read about what it does and how it can be used, I thought it was a great idea for a lot of the travelers who are frequent fliers or those that are just fad up or do not want to deal with the usual airport waiting areas. I do not fly as often as a business traveler to make this a viable service for me, but definitely would not mind the avoidance of hustle and bustle of the usually waiting areas. With the PP membership you would receive VIP access to hundreds of airport lounges, previously only accessible to select few.

One of the great things about the Pass is that you do not have to be in business class or 1st class to be able to get into these lounges.

While traveling economy, you can watch TV and enjoy complimentary drinks at such places as the Delta Sky Lounge and American Airlines business class lounge. The membership also includes access to over 600 VIP lounges in more than 100 countries and 300 cities worldwide, privileged access to over 70 US Airport VIP lounges, email, internet and conference space. And you do not have to buy into an annual membership, as they also have plans for paying as you go. Here is their FAQs http://www.prioritypass.com/FAQs.cfm
