Goodtimer was designed to go with your family, wherever the day may take you. Since Good Time is normally activated and deactivated by flipping Goodtimer over, we don’t want your child to miss out on Good Time just because their Goodtimer is bouncing around in a bag or the backseat of the family vehicle. So, Travel Mode turns off the “flip” sensor and uses a touch-activated metal contact ring around the speaker instead. Touching the contact ring will toggle Good Time on and off. If you are concerned that your child may get antsy on the flight, you can set it to travel mode and add it to your carry-on bag as it weighs less than a pound and Goodtimer can tag along for the plane ride to help encourage your child to hang in there for the long flight. Goodtimer will have to go through TSA, and because it has a battery in it, it will have to be put into a bin when going through the security line. If TSA asks you what it is, you can just say it is a nightlight/sound machine for your child. When you get on the plane, you may want to turn the volume down low or even off as you wouldn't want it to disturb neighboring passengers. Some Goodtimer families have shared with us that having Goodtimer along with them on their trips helped to manage challenging behaviors while on vacation. It especially helped during long car rides, while dining out at restaurants, and during downtimes at the hotel. But we do recommend letting Goodtimer stay in your hotel room or lodging during vacations, especially if you will be doing a lot of walking or swimming.
