17 hours on the road with three kids for the first time was definitely a trip to remember. The kids actually did really well and it helped making multiple stops.
Things that worked:
Bringing entertainment:
@nintendoamerica, coloring books,
@yotoplay players, playing eye spy games.
Taking breaks: the kids played their switch for two hours and would get two hour breaks before playing for two more hours. Helped avoid screen time overstimulation.
Stops: We stopped for gas, and much were our bathroom breaks and food.
I packed snacks for the road and water.
Potty tip: I love our
@fridababy travel seat to us in public bathrooms. Emergency: plastic water bottles if you have boys ๐๐
Con: being in a car with Iโll make you tired and the aches are real. Overstimulation will happen! But I think it helps mentally preparing to be in a car. So open up the windows, have get the wiggles out during stops and bring a good book & music.
Would you road trip with the kids vs taking a plane ?...
