Plan Your Route

Pre-Road Trip Car Check
Check your oil and tire pressure before hitting the road. Some areas may not have roadside services, so it’s best to ensure your car is ready for the trip.
Pack Smart
Stock up on healthy snacks and drinks to stay energized. Bring entertainment like books, games, and downloaded movies or podcasts. Don’t forget chargers and hand sanitizer.
Keep Comfort in Mind
Dress in layers for changing temperatures. Bring pillows and blankets for comfort, and ensure everyone has enough legroom during long drives.
Create a Flexible Schedule
Plan for breaks every 2-3 hours. Allow for unexpected detours and spontaneous stops to make the trip more enjoyable.
Involve the Kids in Planning
Let the kids choose a stop or destination to keep them excited and engaged throughout the journey.
Stay Safe
Always make sure everyone is properly secured in the car. Carry an emergency kit with tools, first aid supplies, and a spare tire.
Play Road Trip Games
Keep everyone entertained with games like “I Spy” or car bingo. You can also download digital versions of these games.
