Cozy Time Announces the Launch of The Essential Travel Companion; Funky Airheads!

Online, September 17, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Holidays always start off with much excitement, the anticipation of freedom from work and some good quality family time. Combined with many of our favourite activities, such as hitting the ski slopes or soaking up the sun, holidays are considered a vital part of any calendar year, offering the chance to re-energise, get a tan and offload some stress. However, adding over-excited kids and uncertain travel to the mix can leave any parent frazzled and exhausted and in need of a holiday after the holiday itself.

Enter........ the Funky Airhead, that will become known as every pooped out parent's essential travel companion for years to come. It literally does what it says on the tin, in that it's both funky and an airhead! Building on the popular concept of the inflatable pillow and making it appealing for youngsters, those clever folks at Cozy Time, creators of the range of microbead cushions, have developed a range of cute animal themed inflatable cushions that double up as both toy and pillow. Genius!

Firstly, the Funky Airhead takes up next to no space whatsoever. Deflated, your chosen animal pillow is less than 6 square inches in size; it could even be a useful bookmark! (albeit in a rather large sized book) and is perfect for parents who are desperately trying to keep luggage size and weight to a minimum. Slip it in Mum's handbag, Dad's man bag or a child's backpack and you have a toy and pillow combo that will keep youngsters amused or sleeping comfortably for hours.

Secondly, during particularly stressful periods when travelling with children who are either :

a) Fighting over whose turn it is on the iPad

b) Getting tired, grumpy and fed-up of stationary traffic on the motorway

c) Bored of all possible eye spy options, or

d) At the end of the in-flight entertainment.

Pulling out a Funky Airhead will be a welcome distraction and provide some more stress free time.

We here at Cozy Time like to think of it as putting kids in charge of their own comfort. Hand over a Funky Airhead (one each of course) and let them have fun firstly inflating, then playing and hopefully, mercifully, snuggling into the animal pillow of their choice, with little heads held comfortable and upright. Those little angels will be snoring soundly in no time at all, leaving parents' to relax and even possibly enjoy the luxury of an infrequent adult conversation with each other!

With three adorable themes to choose from, kids can have fun selecting their own Funky Airhead. Maybe it's a lion from the African Savannah range, or a frog from the Woodlands scene, or a cute cow from the Friendly Farmyard, there's bound to be a Funky Airhead to suit animal loving children everywhere.

So to avoid the inevitable and dreaded head lolling, the hottest tip for comfy travel this year is to invest in a Funky Airhead. For just less than a tenner, it will be a sound investment for many years to come.

Funky Airheads will retail from £9.99 and will be available in all reputable retailers from October 2012. For more information about Funky Airheads, or their creators Cozy Time Ltd, please visit http://funky-airheads.co.uk/index.htm or www.cozy-time.co.uk.
