Moms and dads are always on the go... whether it's around town on errands, fun trips to the park or road trip vacations. That makes things to make life on the go great gifts. Here's a look at some unique ideas that you won't see everywhere... (Check out part one of this article for a must-have on the go: the best baby carriers!)

Zip-n-go blankets were invented by a mom of two young boys looking for something easy for on the go comfort. They're really cool and a perfect item to always have in the car, no matter baby's age. The Zip-n-go's are weatherproof. They fold up then zip up to become their own bag. You can use it everywhere from the park to the floor at a hotel. They come in lots of cool fabrics - my fav: the eco-blanket made from recycled bottles. Plus they're all made in the USA. How fabulous on all fronts!

Stokke Xplory Footmuffs from CSNBaby.com are a top of the line baby snuggler made for use in strollers, baby carriers and more. These are high quality, soft and quite handy. Babies being born now will be the perfect size for one of these bad boys this winter, making them a perfect baby shower gift. Added bonus: they're one-sized for babies about six months through about 30 months. So you'll get several winters use out of this one product and it will still be in good shape to pass down to a younger sibling or a friend afterwards.

Another item perfect for upcoming winters that will make a stand out baby shower gift are Baby Capes. These are warm, fuzzy capes made to be alternatives to big, bulky coats that fit improperly under car seat safety straps and buckles. Baby Capes are like coats, blankets and buntings all rolled into one ingenious product. Check out an informative safety video on Baby Capes HERE. For little babies they have a foot snuggler for when baby is seated in a car seat or stroller. When standing, they just look stylishly cute! Another cool part to this product - one size fits little ones from newborn through preschool!

The Parking Pal Magnet is a life saver, literally. It was invented by a mom of three boys because she saw a need. My daughter Ava burned her little fingers two summers ago when she stuck her hand on the wheel of our car while waiting for me. That wouldn't have happened if we had this product then. You just stick the bright, fun colorful magnets on the car and tell your kids it's their spot to wait while you load up their brother or sister or shopping bags. Kids think they're neato and want to stand in "their spot." This is a must have product that my girls and I love! It keeps my girls next to me and the car and away from the dangers of the rest of the parking lot where traffic moves too fast most days.

Another cool product for parking lot safety is The Cart Stopper. This product attaches with a big suction cup to your car. The other end of it has a knob that slides onto the cart. This little product does two things: no more worrying about the cart running away from you with baby inside or having to hold the cart with your foot while you adjust everything and it prevents damage to both your car and other cars in the parking lot.

ChicBlvd.com's Baby Zabu is the ultimate playmat for on the go. Not only is it hip looking, but it's so practical too. It can go inside a pack n play laid flat or with its corners tied up on the floor for a travel bed for your babe. The designs are bright and eye catching for little ones too. Its really soft to the touch yet firm enough to be safe. For storage or easy travel it rolls up. Baby Zabu's come in two sizes and regular or eco-friendly fabrics.

Baby Goin Places Pocketchanger is a machine washable portable diaper changing pad that has two pockets for diapers and wipes. It's mom-made in the USA too. The mom who invented it made it with the idea of having everything you need to have for changing a diaper in less than ideal conditions - which always seems to be how baby likes it. These are way cooler than those thin vinyl changing pads that you find in the baby aisle of big stores. I keep mine in my car for changes on the go. You could also keep it in your stroller.

DisneyStore.com's reversible personalized character blankets are sooo much cuter in person then on DisneyStore.com where they're sold! A photo just doesn't capture the details. It's modern looking with several types of sewing techniques used. Right now they're price at under $12 each, making them a bargain (though you have to add another $8 if you want them personalized). A blanket like this is perfect for every season both at home and on the go for newborns on up.

Keep rain, cold wind, and snow at bay with Jeep's Deluxe Stroller Weather Shield. This product is easy to put on and take off. It has netting on both sides to provide plenty of ventilation so your little one is comfy in all seasons. The Weather Shield fits on most strollers and also comes with a convenient storage bag that you can keep right in the bottom of the stroller so you have it whenever you need it.
