Pop-a-Tot – Making Babies Even More Portable!
We love to travel with our kids and whether it be a 20 minute drive or a 20 hour drive there are times when we would have given our right arms to have our Exersaucer in the van so we could put our baby down without the fear of her (a) crawling away or (b) touching or, heaven forbid, eating something really gross when we just weren’t able to wear her any longer. Thanks to the amazing PopATot we’re now free to rock and roll with the kids anywhere the wind carries us. Folding into an impressively small carry bag (picture a folding camping chair) it’s the most portable piece of completely necessary baby equipment we’ve yet to find. Except, you know – the baby.
Created by mom Stacy Ellsworth, it’s simply a portable baby activity center that packs away in its own carrying case. Just take it out of the bag, pull it open, secure two clips, plop the kid inside, and she can safely play with whatever goodies you clip to the five toy hooks on top. Each order comes with a free set of Sassy Lively Links to get you started – not that you don’t already have eleventy bazillion things lying around the house that you could attach, but the ones that come with the PopATot aren’t previously chewed; a nice bonus for a second child for sure. The PopATot features two cupholders and a built in canvas floor to protect the babe from sand & grass. It’s light enough to easily tote around – particularly if you’re used to toting camp chairs – but sturdy enough to stand up to my big boy and his buddies climbing in and all over it.
For a limited time you get a $10 rebate making the PopATot just $50 with free shipping. For international orders (that’s us Canadians, though we certainly don’t feel international) you’ll need to contact Stacy directly as her site doesn’t accommodate international orders at this time.
Win it! We’ve got a PopATot to give away. To enter, check out the PopATot site and then come back and leave a comment on this post before noon mst on February 23, 2009.
CONTEST CLOSED & WINNER EMAILED

This thing looks awesome.
February 16th, 2009 at 1:31 am
This sounds like a wonderful alternative to just floor play lying down. My son would enjoy it (well, for a little bit and then he’d probably get restless). We have to travel a lot to visit relatives and this would certainly come in handy.
February 16th, 2009 at 5:07 am
I learned this at their site: “Is this product for outdoor use only?
PopATot was designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the uses are limitless. Indoors it can be used anywhere in the house to replace those bulky plastic baby activity centers that cannot fit through doorways in your home. “
February 16th, 2009 at 5:27 am
Wow that is neat!
February 16th, 2009 at 5:44 am
I love that it has a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee!!! It is perfect to take anywhere and can be used outside as well as indoors!
February 16th, 2009 at 6:51 am

I like that they made it wide enough that babies can not grab stuff from all around. Much safer than other seats where they can drag down table cloths and grab stuff they should not have.
February 16th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
I love it, looks like a lot of fun!
February 16th, 2009 at 1:20 pm

February 16th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Great! Not just to take everywhere we go but also good to pop open in different areas of the house instead of lugging all the toys around when I need to do something away from our regular play area.
February 16th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
This is a great thing to have, especially when it gets warmer outside!
February 16th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
simple but great idea. wish I would have thought of it
February 16th, 2009 at 3:45 pm
I like that it can be cleaned easily. Thanks for the chance.
February 16th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
This is brilliant! We do a lot of camping, and this looks like a great alternative to my baby eating dirt & making for the campfire!
February 16th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
I like that your kiddo can have their own little spot away from home. Sometimes it is bewildering to be in a strange environment with strange furnishings.
February 16th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
Traveling with twins is always hard. The popatot looks like it may make it a bit easier
February 16th, 2009 at 6:28 pm

Oh, this would be heaven as my one year old Jaxen is part monkey and tries to climb out of everything. This would give him something new to master and me a little bit of relaxation, until he learns to master it. lol Sorry, I don’t get out much!
