I made sure I had heaps of individually wrapped potato chips, biscuits, raisins etc., and individual bottles of water with plenty of top up water next to me. Fruit doesn't work as well - as I usually find it weeks later stashed behind the booster seats! Also take lots of children's stories and music on tapes, plenty of cheap toys, and new books. I couldn't afford Gameboys but they might be a good idea! As previously suggested I had the kids constantly check out strip maps for me to 'advise me' how far we had gone. Pointing out any sights along the way kept the kids interest up, but I have to admit - I was EXTREMELY glad to finally arrive! Ruth Nathan ID922 - When selecting toys for your baby or toddler on a long road trip, remember to leave the 'noisy' or 'musical' toys at home. Although they are entertaining, they can be very distracting to the driver (especially anything that sounds even remotely like a police siren) and no matter how much your baby loves 'the cow says moooo', you're going to find yourself ready to throw that toy out the window after a few hundred miles! Cathy Brockway ID131 - One of the best toys we have found for keeping our toddler occupied on trips is a travel-sized MagnaDoodle. When he drops the 'pen', it is attached by string; there are no pieces to lose; and he doesn't run out of paper. We write easy words on it, and he learns to read them, and gets really excited when he knows one ... or, we draw simple pictures and he figures those out. It should be great for kids of all ages - Mommy & Daddy have fun with it, too! Kim Machir ID911 - When travelling on an overnight flight with young children, feed them dinner before you board the flight. Have them brush teeth and change into pyjamas so that they can go to sleep as soon as the plane takes off. If you wait until drinks and dinner have been served and cleared, it may be well past their bedtime and you may end up negotiating films with an overtired child. We have further tips for travelling with children in our blog. Happy travels! Dianne Stewart ID2267 - When traveling with children with medical concerns ... Make sure they have their own identification, whether it be a medical necklace or an identification card. Make sure it has your telephone number, the name and number of their physician, and their medical concerns.
