In a holiday by car with the child: not only simply, but also it is very interesting!

Very often I hear a phrase that with children it is impossible to have a rest and relax normally on a holiday. Or "Why you travel with the small child if he all the same remembers then nothing?". To me always is what to answer these, I can explain the questions which for a long time are worn out, and the point of view with ease.

So it developed in our life that we with the husband live far from parents, we see them at most 2-3 times a year, and still very much we like to go somewhere, to open for ourselves new and novel. With the son's birth we did not become homebodies, complaining that as to us it is heavy, the child there is nobody to leave, and is so wanted a vacation. And began to travel even more. At once I will make a reservation that to travel does not mean for me only rest in far-away countries, in principle a trip to grandmothers and grandfathers and overcoming 2000 km by car - very fascinating voyage already in itself.


Today I want to share the brief experience how to make comfortable for all a travel with the child by car.
For reference use: the son will be four years old soon, and he very much likes to go with us.

On any distant trip to a car three components are important: safety, food, entertainment.

Safety

Only children's car seat or if the child is more senior, it is possible to use the booster. Any indulgences, any exceptions. You can be sure of how you operate the vehicle or your partner, but are not responsible for driving of other drivers. How many people thoughtlessly climb on overtaking, and at the same time do not see a real situation on the road how many I saw terrible accidents on the route from which I then some more days morally could not depart.



Food

If we drive the car all day, surely we stop to have dinner in cafe or the dining room along the route. The main reference point - long-distance truck drivers. They will never eat anywhere and will not wait while the dish prepares to order. The more costs trucks at the building of the dining room, the more trust inspires in me this institution. Large portions, food tasty and safe, prices adequate. And on route M4 at gas stations of Tatneft there are tasty cafes. At once it is possible to service also the vehicle and to have dinner quickly and to take coffee to go. A huge bonus - existence of children's rooms. While the child entertains himself under supervision, you slowly enjoy food.


Of course with myself I take the whole bag of various nonperishable snacks: bananas, apples, for us with the husband nut mix, for the child fruit bars.

Very much natural bars from Frutilad, "Dara pamira" and a fig from "Eko a fruit candy" are pleasant. Tasty delicacies, do not contain some sugar, are made on the basis of fruit puree and the pressed mulberry.


Obligatory existence of several bottles of still water - air in the car quite dry, it is necessary to drink much.


Entertainments

It's clear that about active games and the speech cannot be. The child sits in a car seat, I am fastened by a belt too. But the eldest son, the is more than simple entertainments which are thought up on the run, it is possible to find. We play police officers and robbers - the son hides the machine at himself in a chair, and my fingers - in combination police, go to look for it. Musical toys too perfectly will help to pass away time on the way. And still we will eat each other songs, we tell verses and fairy tales, we look from a window at the rivers and the railroad, and trains so just delight children!


Last year we with the husband bought the small DVD player which fastens on a seat head restraint. On it the son watches animated cartoons. It is naturally dosed, no more than two times in a day thirty minutes everyone. I downloaded in advance kind Soviet animated films which want to be revised many times.

As we see, the travel with the child by car does not seem tiresome at all. It can be made interesting and very fascinating.

Good rest!
