Going on a road trip with toddlers may be stressful, but if you think ahead and expect what you will need you and your child may have more fun and arrive at your destination calm and relaxed. Whether or not you don't have what you need, it will make the trip a lot harder on both of you.
Keep things you will need while driving in a centralized location. Commonly, bringing your Dad Gear diaper bag and placing it in the passenger's seat or on the floor amongst the front seats is a great thought. Pack the diaper bag with all the necessities: Diapers for the trip, wipes, your child's favored blanket, toddler safe snacks, water, non-spill cup and toys. In the trunk, be sure to pack various full changes of clothes for your child and a change of shirt for your own behalf.
Be choosy when packing for the long car ride. Only take your child's favorite toys and favored books. If you’re unsure what to bring, tell your child to go pick the toys they want to take with.
Weather is at all times a key factor in planning for your trip. Be sure to check the weather forecast for area you are journeying to, bring clothes that will match the temperature and keep your toddler comfortable. Also, if your toddler is breastfeeding, do not forget to fetch a blanket or cover up, for privacy.
Choose car snacks carefully. As you pack your food, consider what will be easy and least messy. Sliced soft vegetables and fruits make for a great healthy snack. Crackers and arid breakfast cereal work well. They are easy to eat and easy to clean up.
Do not forget to cut your child's snacks into small pieces to prevent choking.
A small planning goes a long way to making road trips with your toddler fun.
