Have all your car-journey essentials in one place, the organizer simply hooks over the seat in front and has seven pockets and two drink holders in a washable and waterproof fabric for your little ones to store their treasures, snacks and drinks to occupy them when they are on their way to and from school.

ReplyDeleteMy travel tips are (a) always take more of everything you need than you think you'll need to allow for delays etc. ; (b) story or music CDs are better than screens to work on and watch and help to avoid travel sickness; (c) always have some verbal games you can play up your sleeve - great as a distraction and help to pass the time.

ReplyDeletealways tell your child the journey is going to take longer then it actually does that way if you make the journey in good time the kids will be happy and if you get stuck in traffic the extra time you spend in the car means no odds to the kids as they thought it was going to take that long anyway :)
