Driving with kids as a dad
We have listed some of the best tips a dad can look at when travelling with kids.
Driving with your kids can be absolute fun as a dad. However, the best way to enjoy the road trip is by planning properly and also ensuring that your kids are entertained throughout the entire journey.
We have listed some of the best tips a dad can look at when travelling with kids.
- Do not drive at night
It’s not just unsafe to drive at night but kids tend to get bored over time. Also, you do not want to make stops at the bathroom late at night with the kids.
- Have snacks
Pack more snacks from vegetables, fruits, yoghurt and other items that your kids love because kids love eating more while sitting down.
- Kids backpack for car activities
Kids enjoy being entertained. As a dad, make sure you have some entertainment such as a backpack that contains their books, toys, crayons, markers as well as colouring books.
- Bathroom breaks
This is one important moment for you and the kids. At every stop, be it a service station, food outlet or etc, the kids must go to the bathroom. Also, diapers need to be changed as often as possible.
- Have toilet paper and wet wipes
We all agree that kids can always dirty themselves. Always have wet wipes and toilet paper as this will always help should you need to have an emergency roadside stop.
- Buckle up
Safety is a must. Depending on their age, ensure your kids are strapped in their car seats. Although some of them might find it uncomfortable and will keep on asking where mommy is, assure them that safety remains a priority.
