Long Car Trips
Family Activities sheet No. 6
This Family Fun Sheet focuses on ideas to make long car trips less stressful - both for children and for parents.
- Include a wet facecloth stored in a re-sealable plastic bag for each person. Add a quartered lemon for extra zing and freshness.
- Pack a small chilly bin with snacks, drinks and frozen ice packs, and store in the boot.
- Audio books and music CDs will help to keep the kids happy and content.
- Attach car sunshades by suction cap to the back windows.
- Install a child view mirror so you can safely keep an eye on baby.
- Stop every two hours for 10 minutes. Driver fatigue is a common cause of car accidents.
