Now that the Holiday season is officially upon us, spending time with friends and family is of utmost priority. But this usually means hours of traveling in the car with antsy kids.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could drive peacefully while keeping the kids entertained without electronics? (Yes, it is possible!) The Car Valet by ALEX TOYS can help make this a reality for parents. It’s an art space and activity area for kids on the go — great for creating art, playing games or storing toys and accessories — all within easy reach.
We had the opportunity to put the Car Valet to the test on a recent ride and found so many great features in it. One of the many things that we loved was the tray that folds down onto your child’s lap for convenient drawing and coloring activities. My toddler has grown to love creating arts and crafts so this aspect of the product was a favorite. He had the option of coloring with markers and crayons, crafting with stickers or just catching up on some reading.
The Car Valet offers plenty of storage as well. There are two large zip-up compartments — which I was surprised to find fit the markers just as well as the crayons — and two mesh pockets that work great for books and accessories. An additional slit is available to hold paper and coloring books.
I loved all the storage it offered because my car is always cluttered with toys and books.
When my little one wasn’t in the mood for coloring, he was able to choose from any of his favorite books which the Car Valet had plenty of room for.
With a velcro attachment, the Car Valet secures to the rear of the front seat and can easily fold back up when not in use.
Parents and kids alike will love this car organizer and play center for on the go access.

It is a great educational way to keep my son entertained while I am driving
