Long car trips with your toddler

Long car trips with your toddler - how to survive…

June 26th, 2006

Cd’s - kids songs, fun songs, a wide variety of things (Lil’ Duck loves Veggie Tales CD’s).
Portable DVD player - with DVD’s of favorite shows of course.
Some people drive at night so they will sleep.
Take frequent breaks - let them out to run around when you get gas, etc.
Put a soft basket of toys by the car seat within reach - use new toys or toys that have been retired that now will seem new.
Put a snack/cup holder on the car seat.
Point out things outside, play little games, talk to them

Do you mind if I link to an article here in the future?

Thanks for linking on my “Hooray for 100″ link exchange!
