Storing my sons toys is quite a challenge, but the real trouble comes when we are on the go. He has to bring a slew of toys everywhere we go, whether its a walk down the block to the mailbox or a trip to grandmas house. Transporting a handful of toys doesn’t have to be a nuisance now that we have a Lay-n-Go Lite! My son loves his new transportable activity mat, which serves two purposes. My son is always on the go and must travel with toys! We needed a simple and easy solution that would work at home or on the road.
The Lay-n-Go is literally what the name says: Use the bungee cord to expand the Lay-n-Go into an activity mat. Once your child is done playing, pull the bungee cord and it will become a small sack/bag for easy transport!
The Lay-n-Go was very easy for my 2 1/2 year old to figure out for himself. I demonstrated exactly what the Lay-n-Go did by laying some of his toys on top as it was flattened out on our floor. Next, I took my sons hands and helped him pull the string so he could see what and how it could transform from an activity mat to an on-the-go tote bag.
My son gave me one of those "I know, Mom" faces as he demonstrated that he was highly capable of figuring it out on his own. I should have given him benefit of the doubt, but I had to make sure my little man knew how to utilize his new Lay-n-Go perfectly! My son was packing his toys up for a trip to the playground only moments later!
The ease of use is what I really love about the Lay-n-Go. Mom can clean up toys in just a few short seconds, but the little one’s can also pick their toys to pack inside!
Whenever I assign my son to packing his Lay-n-Go for a trip we are taking in the car or stroller, I am always surprised when he has completed his mission within a few minutes. He will return to show me what he packed inside for our adventure outside of the house!
The Lay-n-Go Lite (18” diameter) retails for $24.95. You can opt for a much larger 5’ diameter Lay-n-Go, which retails for $64.95. Each of these versions can be purchased in blue, pink, and green. Make your purchase through the Secure Lay-n-Go Shop: store.layngo.com

I need this! My daughter makes such a mess when she plays with her toys. They end up all over the house.
This is a great invention!!!! Thanks for reviewing
Cool idea! That would be great for vacations/relative visits with multiple stops!
This is such a great idea – I’d never seen it before!! So simple – but this would be SO helpful!
Thanks for sharing! I love toys are easy to pack up and take along! We travel a lot. I can’t wait to check this out!!!
SWEET! I should get that when my son is a little older, what a great way to put toys away
I think I found the companion gift to Legos once they start entering our home!
Great and unique idea! Thanks for the review!
This would be awesome for all those little Lego pieces! Thanks for the review.
WOW – this is awesome looking
Simply GENIUS. I wonder if it was invented by a man, because this is how my hubby cleans up.
LMAO! I’m literally LOL’ing because that’s exactly MY husband also. He likes to stuff things in boxes instead of just putting them WHERE they belong, sorting, and filing away. “We’ll just go through the box later”. LATER? WHEN does later even come?? So far: Never.
This is a fabulous idea. to round up all the toys.
What a great item! Love it!
This is genius! I love that kids can intuitively use it too. It makes it so much easier for them to be on board when it’s easy. I definitely want one!
Taking steps towards a tidy house!
What a neat idea and product. Every time we go anywhere I have to pack a tote of toys. One of these would sure make my life easier.
I love this, not only great for home but sleepovers at the Grandparents…
Oh my, I NEED one of these. It would make visiting my mom soooo much easier!
Wow! So perfect for my son’s Legos! Thanks for the helpful review! We need this!!
