Plush comfort toys for tots and moms (or even dads)

Oz is the name of this adorable Bumpas doll
You know those times when you need a hug but nobody is around? Well I just found a solution. It's cushy, weighted, loveable Bumpas doll that you can wrap around your chest. It is so comforting that I decided to take it on my next airplane trip. The doll's weighted arms, which help it stay in place makes it adaptable as a travel pillow – such an adorable alternative to the ubiquitous u-shaped neck supports.
The plush, cuddly doll can also warm you up on a chilly airplane ride, or while watching TV at home. My doll is named Lucky. The minute I took him out of the package I wrapped those big soft arms around me and felt warm and cozy. Well the toy comes with a card that reads: "I'm weighted to love, hug and protect you.".
As you might expect, the Dolls are primarily meant for children and are also perfect travel companions for them when on a flight or long car ride. Especially if the kids get rowdy or anxious, these wonder dolls work magic,
Bumpas dolls weigh three pounds and are recommended for ages 3+, the oversized plush dolls have arms and legs that are weighted and stay in place when gently draped around your shoulders. The reassuring hug they give provides an all-important sense of love, security, emotional support, and sensory calming.
