ANTRIM--Family on Board, a catalog of family travel gear and entertainment items launched earlier this year in Antrim, received a boost Sunday with a review of its luggage for kids in a nationally-syndicated newspaper column.
"Taking the Kids," a weekly column written by Eileen Ogintz, focuses on family travel destinations and issues. The Los Angeles Times Syndicate column appears in 52 large-circulation newspapers around the country, among them the Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, New York Newsday, Houston Chronicle, Philadelphia Inquirer and Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The total U.S. circulation of the column is over 11.9 million homes.
"We are thrilled with being recognized as a player in the family travel market," said Brian Beihl, president of Family on Board. "We have lots of great products for family travel but it takes time to get the word out to parents who travel frequently. This is a tremendous boost to us."
The column included a mention of Family on Board's Kelty K.I.D.S. Rolling Sojourner, a soft-luggage case on wheels sized for children over age 5, along with products from Lands' End and L.L. Bean, and interviews of parents and suppliers about the benefits of wheeled luggage for kids.
