Driving Across Country with a Toddler
Being a member of many mom groups on Facebook, I often see posts and questions made about a daunting task for many parents: Travelling long distances with a small child, and how to keep them happy during the trip. My son has never been a big fan of being in his car seat during drives, especially if they’re any longer than half an hour. So when my husband and I decided to up and move back across the country on a whim, in our little car nonetheless, the thought of how well our child would handle the trip caused me to experience dread. When we took the plunge and made the journey, however, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I had anticipated. I’d like to help put your nerves about the idea of travelling long distance with a young child at ease, and share with you the tricks to how we did it; without it being a nightmare experience.
