Plush toys are great because they’re soft, cuddly, and huggable, but sometimes that’s all they are. That’s why Necknapperz are refusing to be placed in the gigantic storage bin full of kids’ no-longer-wanted stuffed animals by offering kids more than just a stuffed pal to sleep with.
Necknapperz look like a regular stuffed animal at first, but then magically transform into a comfy neck pillow that can be best used during plane, train, or car rides, or when kids are simply busy living the life, while watching some Paw Patrol on the couch and asking Mom to grab them a cup of warm chocolate milk.
Designed for kids ages 3 and up, Necknapperz are ultra-soft and come in more than 20 different animal characters from a Red Ladybug to a Dolphin. The plush is cushiony enough to use as a real pillow, but when kids convert it to a neck pillow that’s how they will want to use it when they’re traveling or relaxing. Or if you’re me, you can use it to take a quick cat nap during work—toy testers get tired, too!
The transformation process takes about 45 seconds and it’s impressively easy to do. The plush pillow does include instructions, but you really won’t need them. Simply unzip the zipper on your pet’s tummy and start pulling out the fabric inside. You will notice right away that the fabric is shaped like a neck pillow and then you basically turn the pet inside out and use it to stuff the neck pillow with. Say “so long” to your pet friend and “hello” to glorious neck support, zip the zipper back up and voilà! You have a neck pillow that’s soft, light, and not lumpy at all, which was one of my concerns before I tried it for myself.
The neck pillow has a snap on the end, so kids or parents can attach it to luggage or backpacks while in transit. It’s not a cheesy magnet snap either—it’s very secure so you won’t have to worry about the Necknapperz falling off and getting lost in the airport.
