#1
Stop Every Three Hours
Spending a few minutes apart is sometimes the key to maintaining harmony while road tripping with kids. Pull over on a regular schedule even if no one needs a potty. Some organizations, like AAA, advocate stopping even more frequently on family road trips—every two hours or 100 miles—but if the kids are quiet, push for three.
#2
Really Stretch Those Legs
Bathroom breaks offer a chance for kids to crawl, run, and bounce off cabin fever. Have jump ropes, Nerf balls, and bubbles ready in the trunk, or referee a high stakes game of tag with prizes to get little ones moving. To make family road trips fun, challenge older kids to a photo scavenger hunt.
#3
Double Check Car Seats
Never assume someone else strapped in your little ones—double check for yourself before you hit the road. A lot of kids (along with all babies) will sit unstrapped for miles without alerting an adult. "Have every grownup in the car confirm children are safely strapped in before you get on the road," recommends Dr. Baer.
