So your kids hate riding in the car. We get it, somethings keeping the little ones sane in the car is a chore despite our best efforts! Whether you're taking a vacation or just running around town, these tips and tricks have helped some of our clients cope with stressful car rides.

Activity bag:

Age-appropriate toys that are only brought out when riding. Special items they look forward to using and they stay in the car when you get out. Pack in an easy space-saving bag for convenience.

Art bag:

Much like the special activity bag, keep car-safe items in an art bag with a clipboard. Allow kids to create. Take it a step further and engage with them, asking them to draw and create things you find together outside as you drive.

Snacks:

Who doesn’t need a snack? Keep a small stash in your glove box. Pull them out and toss them in the back seat to help curb cranky kiddos due to hunger.

iPad:

Enjoying a movie or educational game can be a privilege left for when you’re in the car. With a childproof case and some wifi, they could stay busy for a while.
