Tips For Having Happy Kids & Babies During Road Travels

By Rachel Hayes


Going on a holiday out of town is something to look forward to particularly when you are with your loved ones. But the traveling part can be the most difficult as kids tend to become irritable and impatient even with just a little over thirty minutes of being on the road. To help keep your sanity, it is 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, sketch pads, pencils, and some markers and crayons. 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 disturbance to the rest of the family members, it would be a good idea to invest in a portable DVD player so that they can watch cartoon shows or movies.

Make them feel comfortable by bringing along their favorite pillow or blanket. Let them have a restful sleep especially when you will be out for several hours on the road. Fill the cooler with some snacks to munch on so you will not have to stop by convenience stores or gasoline stations every so often just to buy food.

Give each of the kids his or her very own disposable camera so they can take photos of interesting sights that they will encounter. Let their creative juices flow by having them write down in a small notebook their fun experiences so that they may include such information in their scrapbook which they can work on as soon as you reach home. If it won't be much of a hassle, you can do a stop-over at a famous tourist spot so you can take better photos and maybe buy some souvenir items.

If you're with other families who have kids also, you can choose to travel together in just one vehicle so that the kids can sit alongside one another. This way, they can keep each other company and exchange stories over hearty snacks. Engaging a limousine service will allow you to have fun as one big family even before reaching your destination. While you are 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 company that you employ comes with a skilled chauffeur who will also ensure the comfort of everybody in the vehicle.
