20 Best Baby Toys For The Car – Ideal For Road Trips

The Yowell Sensory Silicone Toy has been one of our favorite infant car seat toys because it’s so simple yet provides hours of entertainment. Even my older children love to play with it! The frame contains five different sizes of silicone bubbles that push in and out. The whole toy is BPA-free and non-toxic, so your baby can gum it as much as he likes.

Older babies will enjoy this educational words book from LeapFrog, even if it’s only for the joy of being able to turn the pages and hear the sounds. Each page has a different word category, and when your baby touches the words, the book reads them aloud and plays music.

This sensory car toy packs a lot of entertainment value in a compact size. It’s perfect for when your bub is teething, as you can pop it in the fridge before traveling to provide soothing relief to sore gums. In addition, an interior rattle is loud enough to entertain your baby without distracting the driver.

The Spin & Learn Steering Wheel is one of the best baby toys for the car because it’s both interactive and educational to help your baby’s cognitive development. Once your bub is old enough to be able to grasp toys firmly, they’ll love “driving” along with you or learning about colors, shapes, and emotions. Since it is a hard toy, I recommend these silicone toy safety straps to prevent any unwanted drops.

Although we could never fool our children into believing their toy keys and phones were the real deal, they still loved and played with them. The Battat car keys and cell phone make realistic sounds at a reasonable volume, and their chunky design makes them easy to grasp.

The cuddly and colorful Mini Buster is perfect for older babies who are developing their fine motor skills. The travel-sized buckle toy displays both numbers and shakes and has several brightly colored buckles to help your bub learn problem-solving skills as well. We love that it’s small enough to take anywhere and provides hours of engaging play.

Usually, we wouldn’t suggest giving your baby toy cars to play with in the car because they’ll more than likely get chucked against the window. However, these K’s Kids vehicles are soft enough to prevent damage, and your older baby can play with them during stops along the way. In addition, the colorful pull-back vehicles are suitable for babies nine months and up and help them work on several developmental skills.

We love the flexible, baby-friendly design of this Rattle and Roll Race Car. The webbed design of the cab makes this baby car toy easy for your bub to grab and hold on to. The tires are filled with beads, so the race car doubles as a rattle for added entertainment value. 

The adorable Infantino Hug and Tug musical bug is an ideal hanging toy for babies, and you can take it with you wherever you go. Your baby can pull down on the bug to hear stimulating music, and the bug also moves and offers several simple activities. Additionally, the songs only play for 90 seconds, which is tolerable for most car rides.

These hanging baby toys are jam-packed with eye-catching colours and patterns to instantly captivate your baby whilst riding in their car seat. The washable rattle toys have built-in jingles so that you’re not stuck listening to endless rounds of the same songs, and they also crinkle when squeezed to encourage hearing and touch.

Babies love to move and groove in their car seats, which is why this Penguin Play and Kick car toy is a perfect travelling companion. The soft kick mat is gentle on your bub’s feet as they move their legs, and the toy itself is compatible with both rear-and-front-facing car seats. You can also adjust the height of the mat with simple Velcro straps.

These simple ring link toys are ideal in-car toys for babies, especially because you can use them in many different ways. For example, connect several links to go across your child’s car seat or create hanging chains for your bub to tug on. They’re easy to clean and store, and you can attach them to strollers, cribs, or anywhere your baby needs some added entertainment.
