I don't enter a restaurant without a zip pouch of essentials to keep them entertained until the kiddie cocktails and french fries show up. We all know the crappy crayons they hand out will break and only entertain them for so long. Here are some of my favorite products that are forever packed in my diaper bag and car for these family meals!

As parents we find ourselves swimming in toys. How on earth am I going to store all of these little pieces and keep them organized? We polled our community on the type of toy storage solutions you were looking for and have so many great recommendations. We ordered all of these items and personally tried them out for you to ensure they were good solutions.
