Aurora World Inc. is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year! They're helping parents gear up for summer travel with a line of plush accessories based on one of the company’s top selling characters, Cheeky Charlie. Developed particularly for boys and girls ages three to seven years old, Aurora’s "Are We There Yet?" collection features Cheeky and his jungle buddies as plush, backpacks, neck rests and even "My Name Is" ID tags.

The collection features Cheeky Charlie and Gerome the Giraffe bean-filled plush animals, Cheeky and Gerome "Keep Me Comfy" Neck Rests and four fully functional "By My Side" Backpacks (Cheeky, Gerome, Lion and Panda). They will also be selling "My Name Is" ID Tags, available in a six style assortment including monkey, giraffe, lion, shark, panda and gator. Each ID tag has a carabiner clip for hanging on a belt loop or backpack.
My Take:
Aurora World sent me a Cheeky Charlie "Keep Me Comfy" neck rest pillow and a Gerome the Giraffe "My Name Is" ID tag.

The neck rest pillow is so soft, and I wish it came in my size!! The twins love playing with it even when they're not in the car. It will really come in handy on our next trip to Rochester so they can sleep without getting a sore neck.

After the recent events in NYC this past week, I am even more delighted about the ID tag. Not only is the giraffe really cute and fluffy, but with my information on the back I can feel secure knowing that if a child's bag (or a child) should get lost, they'll have our address and phone number right there so we can be reached ASAP. The paper that I wrote our information on is securely held inside a small clear window on the back of the giraffe. I know it's secure because I had a difficult time taking the paper out to write on it and an equally difficult time getting it back in. (That's a good thing!)

Cost:

• You can buy the Cheeky Charlie "Keep Me Comfy" neck rest pillow for $13 + shipping.
• You can buy the Gerome the Giraffe "My Name Is" ID tag for $6 + shipping.

Overall: We give the "Are We There Yet?" collection a 10/10!

How would you like to win a "My Name Is" ID tag for your child?





We were sent a neck pillow and ID tag free of charge for the sole purpose of this review; no other compensation was received. All opinions expressed are my own.
