Enter Exhibit A:
Do these children look comfortable to you? Sure, they are sound asleep…but you and I both know any adult who falls asleep in either of those positions is going to wake with one heck of a crick in the neck…and at least a month’s worth of much needed physical therapy!
The solution:
THIS, my friends, is a travel neck pillow designed SPECIFICLY with CHILDREN in mind!

How Two Little Monkies was “born” (Written By Andrea, the owner and creator)
“I opened up Two Little Monkies in May 2010 as a small shop selling a few sets of hair clips. I quickly expanded and I now sell several types of hair accessories, clip holders, children’s neck pillows, diaper and wipes pods and wall decor.
As a family on a budget, I’ve always used my creativity to make items that weren’t affordable otherwise. When preparing for our family trip in April, I found some children’s neck pillows in the store and thought ‘I could do that, and for much less!’ I loved the idea, because my 3 year old and 1 year old fall asleep in the car on long trips and I hate seeing their little heads slumped over, knowing how uncomfortable that is! I designed a children’s neck pillow that I felt better fit young children, wider on the sides and narrower in the back so it didn’t push their head forward as they were sleeping. After my daughters used these pillows on our vacation (ok, I’ll admit, I gave it a test run too), I decided I would add them to my Etsy shop to see how they would sell. Since then, they have become my most popular product!
Andrea has graciously offered one of her fantastic travel pillows as a giveaway prize for one lucky blog follower! The winner can go to her Etsy shop and select one of a varitey of avaliable fabrics!

LOVE THE Toddler or Children’s Neck Travel Pillow – Monkey pattern!!! We just drove to Iowa and my son was all slumped over and even wanted his pillow behind his head. I might see if she can get one to us before we have to head back to Texas!!
I love the pillows! Not only when the kiddos fall asleep in the car does it look extremely uncomfortable, I am always worried about the dangers in it, hit a bump and their poor little heads go bouncing forward….wish I had one, and if I am not the lucky contest winner, I am so going to order one! I love that they are not sooooo ridiculously overpriced that I would pass it up, thanks for offering them for budget – friendly mommies!
