As summer approaches, many of us will be travelling more frequently. If you’re travelling with kids, you’ll want to keep them safe and happy during those long car rides. To help you out, we’ve put together a list of must-have items and activities to keep your children entertained.
1. Tablet Headrest
If you’re planning a long drive with your kids, then it’s essential to keep them engaged and entertained. A great way to do this is by having a movie available for them to watch. With tablet headrests, you can secure a tablet to the back of your seat, which allows your kids to enjoy a movie of their choice while you drive in peace.
2. Fold-Out Tray
Don’t want to stop for every meal? A fold-out tray for your back seat is the perfect accessory. This tray table can also be a playing surface for cards and other travel games, especially for older children.
3. Window Shade
As part of a long road trip, we often take a nap along the way. With the bright summer sun, we’ll need some shade to rest peacefully. Additionally, these shades can also come in handy for reducing glare while watching movies on our tablets.
4. Proper Car Seats
Car safety seats come in different types, and the kind of seat you need for your child depends on their age, size, and developmental needs. Therefore, it’s crucial to have the appropriate equipment for our little ones. To ensure safe travels, review the safety seat manual each time you install the seat.
5. Art Supplies
Children enjoy drawing and colouring, which makes it a great activity to engage them in when they are bored. Despite being a messy activity, there are supplies available that reduce the mess while keeping the fun intact. Sticker books, coloured pencils, and paint-by-stickers are all entertaining ways to keep the backseat tidy and free of clutter.
