We had a blast on our vacation. It was a great time for us to do things together as a family. That said, I wouldn't do everything the same if we took another road trip with a crawling baby. Here are some tips, some that we did and some that I will do on our next trip!
#1 Do most of your driving during nap times.
#2 Don't plan on driving for more than 4 hours a day. Its hard to keep an awake baby happy in a car seat for long!
#3 Bring lots of toys and pacifiers.
#4 Know places that you can stop if your baby needs to get out of the car.
#5 Bring some sort of large blanket for your baby to crawl on anywhere you stop. (We brought an old sheet)
#6 If possible, have another child or an extra adult sit in the back seat with your baby.
#7 Be ready when bedtime comes. Have camp set up before baby starts getting tired.
If you are prepared, you can have a great trip with a baby!
