  • Stop often so the kids (and the parents) can get a chance to stretch their legs.

  • Pack a cooler with bottled water, diluted juice and other non-soda drinks.
  • If you will stop, try to find places that offer healthy kids' meal options. 
  • Eat a good meal before you set off on the road so you won't need food again for a while.

Keep the Kids Entertained on the Road

  • Play kid car trip games. 
  • Bring a mix of entertainment items for each kid . 
  • Consider giving each kid their own travel gadget, if it's affordable, such as music players and DVD players.

Don't Push Kids on the Road

  • Don't do long stretches at a time.
  • Plan regular (and frequent) stops to visit the rest room. Kids
