We are going on a long road trip this weekend. What are some snacks, tips, advice and piece of info…

At that age I wouldn't worry too much. But You don't want them eating in the car

Build in lots of breaks for everyone, try to find a park or rest stop with an open space for everyone to stretch, and we try to travel during nap/bed times so they fall asleep in the car!

I always take red apples. They do help your hunger lol. Portable DVD player, kid friendly games on iPad or phone. It’s been forever since I travelled with my son at 1 years old but he got accustomed to it fairly easily. He now does fine even on trips that take days and days lol. If you aren’t in a hurry, I’d map out interesting places to visit & use those as breaks. @may042017, I’d also have plenty of snacks and iced drinks (ice chest) where you can grab it from inside the vehicle. I’d read up on historic places & teach my older son as we pass by or visit lol.

Oh I read the 7 as you have a 7 year old not 7 months pregnant. Still might be fun to do that if you’re traveling with another adult lol (the history part). @may042017

@newlyironman really?! Why's that? Lol

@sarahbethk we are not gonna have time to take alot of breaks. We are stopping overnight at a hotel to split the trip up.

@whoswhoo thanks for the tips! I'm actually 7 weeks pregnant. Which may be worse, dealing with morning sickness. Ugh.

Omg I had the worst morning sickness! Zofran is the only thing that helped me and after awhile even zofran didn’t work lol. I took some barf bags that extend from a small round opening from my last Er visit. Take some bags with you so you can vomit as needed. Tylenol. A pillow and blanket lol. Crackers, orange Gatorade, applesauce lol. I craved lemons but I kinda feel it made my ms worse. Good luck! @may042017,

@whoswhoo Thanks! I actually bought some Gatorade :)

@may042017, because they can choke on food if eating while traveling. It's best to eat snacks during breaks/rest areas. 😊

@scruffy.nerf.herder oh geez I didn't think of that.... I was hoping snacks would entertain her while driving lol

@may042017, be careful with Gatorade.... there’s a lot if sodium in it, it can cause swelling especially on a road trip (from experience 😩).

Last trip we did with our girls, I bought a bunch of little treats, kept them hidden in a bag. Every hour or so pulled one out.... short book, small doll, coloring book, slinky...

@sarahgrace1977 thank you for the tips!!
