One of our family’s favorite things to do is to road trip. Actually, we love it so much – we’ve recently started a blog familyroadtripping.com where we chronicle our adventures and share some tips and tricks to traveling the roads with a family in tow.
We all can picture the cliche image of mom turning around, screaming at the top of her lungs while driving. “QUIET DOWN!” “NO, WE AREN’T THERE YET!” “WE JUST STOPPED, WHY DIDN’T YOU PEE THEN!”
The best way to survive, is to keep the kids occupied. When you have 4 kids, 2 of which are toddlers – keeping them entertained is the only way one can sanely travel for many hours at a time. I’ve rounded up 5 products that will help do just that. Another perk: these don’t just work on road trips. ANYTIME you are venturing out in the car, these will help keep the peace.
