Tips For Having An Enjoyable Road Trip For You & The Kids

By Rachel Hayes


Going on a vacation out of town is something to look forward to particularly when you are with your loved ones. But the traveling part could be the most difficult as children tend to become irritable and impatient even with just a little over thirty minutes of being on the road. As a way to keep your sanity, it's best to always be prepared ahead of time.

Take their favorite toys along with you and stash them in a light-weight tote bag. Create an activity kit for each child and put in their own puzzle and activity books, word search and coloring pages, doodle pads, pencils, and some markers and coloring materials. These should be enough to keep their hands and minds busy in case you get caught in a traffic jam. To further keep them fastened in their seatbelts for a good two hours and not cause distraction to the rest of the family members, it would be a good idea to invest in a portable DVD player so they can watch cartoon shows or movies.

Prepare individually packaged healthy snacks like sandwiches, cut up fruits, or veggie sticks partnered with chilled fruit juice boxes and water to satisfy hungry little tummies. Make them feel comfortable with their own pillows, blankets, and plush toys which would come in handy for when they feel weary and would wish to take a nap.

Let them document their travel experience. Give each of them his or her own camera so they can take photos of anything that catches their fancy. It may be an interesting tree, a flock of birds, a herd of animals crossing the street, or a magnificent sunset. Tell them to jot down their road trip experience to serve as added details when they will already work on their scrapbook.

If you're with other families who have children also, you can opt to travel together in just one vehicle so that the kids can sit alongside one another. By doing this, they can keep each other company and share stories over hearty snacks. Renting a limousine service will allow you to have fun as one big family even before reaching your destination. While you're still on the road, you'll have the opportunity to engage in bonding activities without having to fret about safety especially if the limousine service Singapore firm that you employ comes with a capable chauffeur who will also ensure the comfort of everyone in the vehicle.
