In reply to Jamie.

Haha, I’m not angry. I’m sorry it came across that way! I just felt the need to write that so people would stop commenting. I got some pretty brutal comments from people! Believe me, as I said, I feel very strongly about car seat safety, and yes, people need to speak up. But there’s a way to do it, and most of the people that made comments were very, very rude. I appreciate the first part of your comment – I hope you didn’t just comment to share the last part though 🙂 Have a great day! Good luck on your 33 hour trip. We had one of those when Jack was about two. It was hard but we made it!

Awesome list! Thanks for the tips! We are a bit nervous for this trip (33 hours of driving, not to mention stopping for potty breaks, food stops, sleeping, etc. makes for a few days of roadtrippin). A little mention about your side-note. Always good to know when people are aware of carseat safety, but instead of being angry about all the people telling you you’re supposedly doing it wrong, be grateful that people speak up about it at all. Because there are countless cases of people actually doing it wrong and are oblivious to the correct way. People NEED to speak up, even when the people being told off have actually got it down just fine. Just a thought. 🙂

In reply to Tatyana. You're welcome! My son always enjoyed them, and I feel like they have helped him learn. They are definitely great for road trips!

Thanks for the info on iPad baby apps. I had no idea there were apps for babies. Going to download a bunch now. We do take road trips quite a bit, so it should be very helpful.

In reply to Danica. I took a look at that seat and I think it would be an excellent choice for your child! It looks very safe. :) Also, thanks so much for the compliment. I appreciate it!

Hi! I am planning to get my child’s first booster seat, and I am looking into Sentinel II from this site: https://www.safety1st.com.au . I am just wondering if you have any opinion on it or do you think it is good enough? Thanks a lot and you have a wonderful blog with great tips! 🙂

In reply to Yulia. I never thought of using a flash flight for little ones scared of the dark in the car. Great idea! Our last road trip, I sat next to Jack the whole time...it beat having a crying toddler the whole time!

Great Tips! Our little one is afraid of traveling in the dark, so we usually have to turn the light on or use a flashlight. Also, someone is usually sitting in the back to keep him company.

Traveling with your little one can be difficult. Babies demand a lot of attention and love, which seems difficult to provide on a car ride. This post should give mothers some wonderful ideas and peace of mind for their next road trip.
