Have diaper bag, will travel

As part of the Daimler Chrysler empire, Jeep says its branded products are created for living without limits. That certainly is a tricky proposition when it comas to bringing up a baby. After all, what could be more limiting than caring for an infant or toddler?. Not to worry, as Jeep called in some expert reinforcements--specifically The Betash Group's Babyboom Consumer Products, Inc.--to design its Jeep Baby Traveler Cadet Diaper Bag ($19.99). like any good cadet, this one is totally prepared and heavily armed (with convenient features).

For starters, there is a wide-mouth, zipper-top opening that leads to a roomy main compartment that includes bottle holders and a "dirty duds" pouch. There's an easy-to-clean inner lining and changing pad as well as rubber guards for extra protection on the bag's bottom. The front pockets have reflective safety trim for nondaylight use. Perhaps most important, this polyester bag, which measures 28" x 12.5" x 8", is easy to carry-either over-the-shoulder with detachable, adjustable, and padded shoulder strap or by hand with soft-grip double handles.

Of course, if you're out and about with the little guy (or gal), you'll need to know what time it is and where you're going. The Jeep 9902-0 Cover Clip timepiece ($18.99, with miyota analog movement) comes equipped with a lobster clip to attach effortlessly to travel gear as well as a precision compass to ensure that no one will lose their way. A blue nylon strap connects the clip to an acid-etched dial cover that protects the crystal and sunray black dial beneath.

Jeep branded products are sold throughout the U.S., Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and South America. For more information, visit www.gear.jeep.com.
