While our kids always slept with us as babies, we always first put them down somewhere reinforced with no potential for an unfortunate rolling incident. That's where the playard came in handy when we traveled. I didn't have to worry about them getting up and exploring some decidedly un-childproof locale.
Jeep Trek Easy-Travel Playard: This unique playard puts the
"travel" back into travel playards, making transportation with baby
easier than ever. Rugged and durable for families on the go, the
travel-friendly design of the Jeep Trek Easy-Travel Playard
incorporates a compact fold, roll-away feature, telescoping easy-grip
tow handle and durable Jeep wheels. The playard includes a bassinet,
changing table and spacious storage area that eliminates the need for
additional luggage. A toy bar with soft toys and a protective cover
for travel is also included. $139.99
The selling points on the Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller for me? The Music on the Move feature, the odometer, and neato extra...an airpump. Can you imagine being out for a run with the baby and getting a blowout?
Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller: Built on a lightweight,
aluminum frame with 16" inflatable tires and featuring a safety tether
and hand brake, the Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller
provides a smooth, safe ride for parents and their child while exercising.
Focusing on the needs of parents, the stroller has a free-standing
fold feature, as well as an adjustable handle to accommodate the
height of both mom and dad. For days when mom, dad and baby really
need to move to the beat, they can utilize the Music on the Move
feature, which allows parents and babies to enjoy their favorite tunes
by playing personal cassettes, CDs or MP3 players. It also comes
complete with an adjustable canopy, reclining seat back, snack tray,
dual cup holder, cell phone storage, large basket and storage pockets,
height adjustable five-point harness, air pump and trip odometer.
$189.99
And now for our giveaway! I am a huge proponent of babywearing. So much so, that I was eventually forbidden from purchasing any more accouterments to strap babies to my body. Now, since my babies are just a bit big for that, I get to give them away! (The accouterments...not the babies.) Enter to win a Jeep 2-in-1 Baby Carrier.
The rules: We'll be giving away a Jeep 2-in-1 Baby Carrier to two lucky winners. The contest will run from Sept 25 - Oct 5. The question you must address in your comment is:
"Where was your favorite place you ever went on a family vacation? Either as a child, or with your own children"

Jeep 2-in-1 Baby Carrier: The Jeep 2-in-1 Baby Carrier allows
baby to face forward or face parent for the ultimate portability. The
patent-pending Secure-Fit(tm) indicator turns red to confirm a locked
latch so baby is always safe and secure. Extra wide padded shoulder
straps with bolster and sports mesh help to evenly distribute baby's
weight and provide a comfortable fit for parent, while easy-in/easy-out
buckles and self adjust straps make it easy for mom or dad to put on.
It also features seat and leg openings that easily adjust for growing
babies, reflective trim for better visibility at night and a mesh pocket
for storage. When not in use, the carrier stores easily in its own
travel bag. $39.99
When our children were little- age 9,7 and 3 we took them to the Badlands of South Dakota and Yellowstone National Park. We took 12 days and a conversion van. It was our happiest memory. We stayed in dives along the way. We've come a long way from that sort of travel but it was our happiest memory ever.
I love to take my daughter to San Diego...she loves the beach and Sea World!anglesmr@gmail.com
My favorite place as a child was, believe it or not, Gettysburg, Pa. I remember the great fun we had in the hotel pool, and we all got to do things we loved to do. cdziuba@aol.com
We love, love, LOVE to go to Myrtle Beach! It's the best family vacation!
My very favorite family vacation was combination of multiple camping trips to Big Bear in California. We lived in Cali at the time and up in Big Bear, as some of you know, they actually get snow. My brother and I were free to run and play as we pleased, there was a creek we could play and splash in, and one trip in particular was our very first introduction to snow; in which we built the most pathetic snow man ever, but had a BALL doing it. On some of those trips still rest the happiest moments of my childhood. Dingaling18@hotmail.com.
Seriusly camping used to be a blast when there were not koas and there were real forests all over. Space center might be the best place as far as touristy but I always loved spenidng a month with my grandma
We take the kids to Carowinds and other amusement parks
last year we went to savannah georgia and out to tybee island. the kids had fun and so did we.
we also went to sea world and universal studio last year. fun for the older child but not much for the little one.
We lived in Tucson for awhile when my children were small, and they loved to go to the Desert Museum. I think that is one reason why they were never terribly upset by creepy crawlies in other areas of the country that we lived in.

When I was was growing up we wnt to the Gulf of Mexico every year. I love bosies of water. Always have!
Another favorite trip we took as a family when I was very young was to Lancaster Country, Amish Country Pa. I loved it, and still return with my own children once a year! cdziuba@aol.com
my all-time favorite is lake winnipesaukee
I remember one year my dad took us to a camping spot somewhere in Sardis, Mississippi. We had a cabin and there were lots of kids my age and activities going on. It was alot like the resort in the movie Dirty Dancing only not as fancy. But it was the best time I ever had. I havent been able to find that place as an adult or even another one like it.
I loved going to Disney world as a child.
My favorite place is to the lake. It is so peaceful and the kids love it.
When my youngest daughter and I went to Hawaii.
Our cruise to Mexico was my favorite! I can't wait to go back!

When I was 12, my parents won a trip for all of us to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., then on a six hour cruise to the Bahamas, 3 night stay there, six hour cruise back, then three more days in Ft. Lauderdale. My parents are both teachers, so we took almost the entire summer on the trip back. We'd see a sign for "the World's Largest Skillet," or whatever, and my mom would point and shout and make my dad pull over. We were dead tired by the time we got home, but I'll never forget that summer!
My favorite place was Disneyland!
Buchannan Dam, rustic cabins with deer to be seen out the back door, lots of swimming and fishing. All in all, pure heaven for kids.
When my daughter and I went to St. Augustine Florida and spent time on the beach. Than we went to Sea World
as children we always went to the beach wonderful fun
My favorite vacation with our little girl was to Disneyland. She was so thrilled with everything she saw and did. It was a wonderful fun experience and I want to do it again.
When I was a kid, we went to Chincoteague Island, VA in the summer where my aunt had a beach house. We'd get to see the Wild Ponies of Assateague and that was really cool to watch.
As young kids we were always taken to Rhode Island and Cape Cod. Carefree days of exploring beaches, sand and a completely different environment than usual made a wonderful learning, stretching experience.
My kids love Disneyworld.
My favorite family vacation ever was probably PC Beach in Florida!
Disney World
My family was very poor when i was growing up so we never took a formal "vacation" but luckily we only lived about 70 miles from Myrtle Beach in SC and they somehow managed to get the funds to take us about twice a year.
I still remember the first time i ever saw the ocean. Its something that will stay with me forever.
The favorite way to keep the baby in
Grand Lake in Celina, Ohio!
Niagara Falls...still our favorite place. THANKS
Taking my kids to Disney in Flordia was a great trip,we stayed inside the park an rode the bus they have to the sites,so much easier than trying to drive an then you can go back to the room an rest an go back to any of the sites at anytime you want too,thanks

Opryland was always fun. And The Smokey Mountains are never a disappointment. There are ton's of things to do there.
My children loved New mexico....so did my hubby and I!
Another place I loved as a child was Stowe, vermont, the Trapp lodge.
The beach! We go camping along the Oregon Coast each year. We love it. :)
Thank you!! alison523 at gmail dot com
I grew up in Upstate NY and both my parents were teachers so they have the summer off from work. So, for something like 7-8 summers in a row my parents packed all 4 of us kids up in the car and we drove 8 hours to Cape Cod, MA. We would spend our days on the beach in Dennisport, MA and our nights going out for fresh catches of the day! I have always had a passion for New England, and it is just as quaint and beautiful as you would imagine it to be! My husband and I have continued the tradition and we have taken our 3 children to Welfleet, MA which is also on the Cape once so far and we plan to make more trips to the Cape as our schedules permit! (and gas prices, LOL!)

When I was growing up, we loved North Captiva Island in Florida.

I always loved going to our family reunion in Kentucky, it was a trip that I looked forward to every summer. Now we have changed the location, but we still have a reunion once a year, and my kids love it as well.

Elephant Rocks in MO. They were so much fun to climb on when I was little.
mathbook28 at gmail dot com
We don't get to go on many family vacations, and they are usually spent with extended family, but my favorite time of all was when we went to visit my grandparents in Florida. We spent each day seeing all the sites. Went to Daytona Beach. It was such a great time.
Please include me in your drawing. I sure would LOVE to win these items. I am pregnant again after 6 1/2 years so needless to say I don't have any of my baby things anymore.
Thanks

When I was about 10 my mom and grandma took us on a "surprise secret trip" - we went to a small, very German town about an hour away and spent some time enjoying sites, sounds, tastes, and smells of something so "foreign" :)
As a child we always traveled to Canada. I am looking forward to taking my son soon.
Favorite family vacation (with my own child) was San Juan Island. SO beautiful!
What a great giveaway!

As a kid we always went to the ozarks and met up with another family and camped at a lake. We also went to Silver Dollar City, but it's the camping adventures I remember best! :)
We love Emerald Isle, NC !!
My favorite family vacation with my child has been Grand Teton & Yellowstone National Parks. It was fun to see her entertained with nature's wonders.
My grandmas place in a remote village in India was by far the best place I visited. Nature at its best and the quietness and serenity of the place. No money in the world can buy you that.
Our favorite family vacation place was my Mom's hometown in upstate Wisconsin - Bruce. It was fun to be with the family that still lives up there. Thanks for the giveaway! afdr3d@umkc.edu
We used to go to the beach every summer when I was a kid and I loved it. There was a sea lion cave and you could feed them! I can wait to take my kids there!
My grandfather always wanted to see the Panama Canal, so we surprised him with a family cruise through the canal. It was a blast!
My favorite vacation was going on camping trips with my family where we stayed in a tent trailer and spent entire days at the beach. It would always rain for at least a couple of the days and we would stay inside the trailer and play games.
When I was small, my folks never had enough money to take real vacations away from home, but we camped and canoed a lot. I can't imagine anything more fun than those times were.
We went to Zion National Park. It was amazing. I remember scaring my mom half to death running on the cliffs! I dread the day we take our kids, but I also can't wait!!
My favorite place I ever went was to Alaska. I have to admit though my favorite time on vacation though was my honeymoon.
Alaska is just breathtaking and calm and peaceful and just plain beautiful.
My favorite place to go on vacation as a child was Brigatine, NJ. The haunted castle there was so much fun!
I love to visit my family in Monterey, CA and I love the aquarium.
hetz-junk(at)hotmail(dot)com
We took the kids to north carolina
My favorite trip when I was younger was to Australia and New Zealand.
We didn't go many places when I was a kid, but I always loved any trip that included fishing and campfires. Both fascinated me.
When I was a kid, I had a lot of fun on the Disney Big Red Boat cruise.
Now that I am a parent, my favorite vacation so far was to Sentosa Island in Singapore. That was my first son's first time to the beach. He was 2 1/2.
onlycancan at hotmail dot com
A trip we just took was a family trip to San Diego, and the kids and my husband and I LOVED it!
Maui, Hawaii. It doesn't get better.
Either as a kid or with my kids, I have never to been to any place recurringly but we have tried to find places similar. And that would be hiking trails. We started hiking with my daughter 6 mos old and now she is 6 , we still enjoy it everytime we do.

Like others, my favorite memories were of camping with my family. My dad was actually my Girl Scout leader, he was so into camping and the outdoors. We used his orange tent from when he was in the military and all four of us shared it. We rarely went anywhere longer than two hours away (come on, two kids int he back seat and no AC?) but if felt like a whole other world. We would cook over the fire pit, play in streams, go hiking, see wildlife and it was just such an awesome experience - I can't wait to continue this tradition with my future family!
I have SO many fun memories of all the camping trips we took as a family growing up. I remember our annual trip up to Trego, WI where we'd camp and canoe down the Namekogen river. Fun times!!!
Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite vacation spot was when we went to Minneapolis and walking through all of the walkways that connect the buildings together.. can I say HUGE awesome mall! It was a blast!
My fave vacation with my family when I was young was our week long trip to Disney World!! It was awesome!! I have so many fond memories there! It certainly is a magical place!! Thanks for the chance!

We took my daughter to San Jose, CA on Halloween last year to visit her aunt. We went trick or treating in Chinatown and loved the Monterey Bay aquarium. There is so much to do there and the weather is usually ideal! m_huston(at)hotmail(dot)com

My favorite vacation when a child was to Gettysburg Pa.
The most magical place on earth - Disney World!
When my husband, my firstborn, and I went to Maine, New Hampshire , and Vermont. We drove for ten days, and saw so much beautiful countryside. As a result of that trip, my husband and I would like to retire to Maine when the kids have flown the coop.

The tradition when I was a child was to go to Myrtle Beach, SC every year. We have continued this with our own children, I love watching them experience the ocean and same beach that I did.
Our favorite place was the Jersey Shore where we would take a boat out and crab, I did this with my parents, and cousins. Than as fate would have it I/We moved here!
as kids we all loved going to the lake and visiting family

When I was younger, my family rented a beach house each summer that housed like 25 people. All of my extended family would come down and we would spend the week enjoying the beach and scarfing down anything that could be cooked on the grill. Such great memories!!!!
sherri419 at gmail dot com
I know it sounds crazy but as a child my family never went on vacation. I guess that is why I love it now that I have children. My favorite place to go is the mountains. We rent a cabin and just go play miniture golf and ride the go carts. The kids love it. Thanks for the great giveaway! ecghick@yahoo.com
There have been so many great vacations...but as a kid we had a cabin "up north" in Michigan. We spent a lot of summer weekends there. Ah, good times.
We enjoyed Lake Lure in NC last year with the whole family. cdziuba@aol.com
the best was when we went to Universal Studios and they picked me for the ET demonstration.

I think the best vacation my family went on was when we went to Las Vegas when I was 10. It was a surprise vacation for me and my brother and we had a blast!
When my oldest was 7, we took him to Disneyland. I can't wait to go back with the other 4 kids.
We can't ever seem to afford to go on vacation :(
I have so many happy/fond/nostalgic memories of going to Disney World as a family. I remember crying every time it was the last day of our vacation because I didn't want it to end!
My family used to take me and my sister to South Padre Island Texas. It's not SSOOOO much a place for kids, but amazing just the same. We would spend hours walking up and down the island (it's not very big) and going to all the little shops, eateries, smoothie bars, oyster bars, theaters to pick up an afternoon show, and then head back to our hotel room. Then we would spend the afternoon/evening on the beach or rollerblading. There is just something about being on the ocean. You can rent jetski's and/or boats too! It was the best vacation ever!!! At night the hotels have beach parties that are the best...and kid friendly too!
My favorite place we went as a child was Yellowstone Park. I was absolutely fascinated by the geysers, the bubbling pools, and even the boardwalk paths. Also, back then bears and moose, etc. were spotted all the time. I loved it!

We went to North Carolina
My favorite place was Lake Somerville (Tx) when I was a child. My family would go camping all of the time. On one particular night, a mama raccoon and her three babies came to our camp. We watched the mama teach her youngins how to steal our food: they opened the cooler and got what they wanted etc. One of them grabbed a bag with a onion inside and took off. It stopped, smelled it then dropped it..... We laugh about this even to this day.

My favorite place I've ever been is the Grand Cayman Islands this past December. My grandson won a trip and
we had such a beautiful time.
My favorite trips wereones I took with my parents to Yosemite. We hiked the falls and really had a great time together. vidomich(at)yahoo(dot)com
my favorite would be the couple weeks my husband and I spent in Montana and Yellowstone National Park-it was beautiful
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
As a kid I loved visiting my aunt and uncle who lived in Fallbrook, CA. We spent the days in Carlsbad and I still love the beach! My favorite vacay was a couple years ago when my husband and I took a trip to Argentina for a month! IT WAS FABULOUS, such delicious food and SOOOO cheap! We hope to go back and live there someday.
We went to the Grand Canyon amongst other places out West when I was a child. I'm 34 and I was 9 at the time, but I can still remember the magnificent beauty of the Canyons, Yellowstone National Park, Mt Rushmore, and the Hot Springs (Old Faithful). I can't wait to take my kids there someday...that vacation was 3 and a half weeks long and it was a blast!
As a child we traveled to the mountains where we hiked and fished.
Our favorite was a three generation trip to Hawaii. I went with my daughter and her two grandmothers. It was fun for all of us!!!
Thank you for the opportunity to win!
Give my family a week at the lake in a nice cabin. Hought lake in michigan is great
Walt Disney World! It was awsome we went first class!!!

Our favorite vacation that I took our children on was a Royal Caribbean Cruise. My kids loved it so much, they learned alot about the places we went and had a blast in the kid zone on the ship. They were always on the go doing something new. People thought we were crazy for taking our kids but I wouldn't trade it for the world.
My favorite family vacation was when I was about 14. My parents took my little brother and I to a cruise in the Bahamas. We had a blast.

One more place I loved as a child was beautiful Sedona, Az! cdziuba@aol.com
It has to be Disney World, the happieast place in the world!
My favorite place to vacation as a child was Sebago Lake Maine. The waters are crystal clear, there are sandbars where you can walk in the lake for what seems like miles. As a family we love to vacation there every year as well.
When I was little we always went to West Virginia, it was so quiet and calm. Now that I am grown we love to go camping and our son loves it too. So our vacations are campgrounds, Mohican Adventures was a really nice one in Ohio that has tons of things to do.
The family vacation I remember best as a child was actually the first and only one we took as a total family. We went to the Gulf Coast and enjoyed it greatly, although my father continued to assert that he was really taking too much time from work.
We went to Mount Rushmore with our kids 3 times in a year we loved it so much :)
As a child, I loved going to my grandparents' farm in Indiana.
The best vacation I ever had was when we took our grown-up kids and their spouses to the Outer Banks for a week. We had so much good family time and bonding that I will remember it forever.
My most favorite vac was to disney World in florida. A great family vacation
Emerald Isle, NC
we took our kids to salisbury beach ma...and we camped out and had the best time of our lives :)
I loved going to ocean city with my parents. swimming all day and having a picnic lunch of fried chicken and potato salad. those were always good days
Although I was never able to visit Disneyland growing up, when my daughter Andrea was four I was fortunate enough to experience the wonders of The Magic Kingdom through the eyes of my child.

My parents took me to Europe and it was absolutely amazing...

Hands down, absolute favorite had to be at 34 weeks pregnant with baby number 3. We took the two girls, aged 3 and 17 months camping at Oconee State Park. We had a late start, so we set up in the middle of the night, followed by a string of tornadoes and torrential downpour. BUT - the girls caught their first fish and had a great time! Still one of the biggest memories either of them (or myself and husband) have!
I loved going to Disney world as a child.
My favorite trip was just last month! Pregnant with baby #2, we took our almost-2-year-old daughter to the Cayman Islands and Aruba and had a wonderful time. It was so relaxing to spend time playing in the sand and swimming in the ocean and pool and just enjoy the sun and the time spent with each other.
Thanks!

Disneyworld.
Bro worked there and we always got in free :o) oh yeah how sweet it was!
My favorite place to go on Vacation as a child with my family and as an adult with my child is Ocean City, MD. Best boardwalk, best fries, best waves and best MD blue crabs :) It's a family tradition! kylienkate@aol.com
I enjoyed going to Hong Kong.
We would go to Ocean City, MD every summer. Back then, there were no shild restraint safety laws, and my little brother and I would sit on the floor in the back of my parents' cargo van. The trip was almost as much fun as the amusement park rides.
Disney World is our favorite.
