Being a parent who’s always running out the door means being ready for anything. Whether it’s managing a grocery run between school pick-up and soccer practice, or creating a dentist appointment schedule for three kids in one afternoon, “efficiency” may just be one of your favorite words. But even in all the hours you’ve saved by being one step ahead, the best part of the chaos is witnessing the occasional joy that comes when your family is together.
Experiencing joyful moments together enriches the lives of both you and your children. And the memory making, conversation having, getting a little silly time doesn’t have to end just because you’re in the car, at the grocery store, waiting for a dentist appointment, etc.
We design products that bring families together. We also have the best of our line ready for all of your On-the-Go needs. Keep reading to learn more about ChatterTime On-the-Go and Mix It Up On-the-Go.

ChatterTime On-the-Go
ChatterTime® On-the-Go is made up of six different categories, each one serving a different purpose to give family conversations a boost. The best part is, the little zipper pouch will fit right into your purse, diaper bag, center console—anywhere! The categories include:
Convo Cues
Convo Cues is meant to serve up questions you might not have ever thought to ask, helping you spark imagination and see the world through someone else’s eyes. When we’re with the same people day in and day out, it’s easy to think that we know them better than anyone else does. Turns out, they may still have some fun facts to share.
Lots of Laughs
When you’ve got some hangry kids in the back seat, a joke might lighten the mood. Good thing we’ve got our Lots of Laughs deck, ready to serve up smiles, card after card.
Which of These
Drive a different way to soccer practice every day for a week, or have to bring a new recipe to a bake sale every day for a week? If you HAD to choose, which would it be? In a world of hypothetical wacky scenarios, we all have some very important decisions to make.
Future Plans
Sometimes when you get in the car, all you can do is think about all the things you want to do when you get out of it. There’s no time like the present to talk through future plans!
Name Who
