Make the travel part of the family fun

Plan stops and a realistic day rather than only a destination.

Before you go

1. Choose rest stops and food options before departure; leave time for unexpected breaks.
2. Pack water, chargers, medication, comfort items and an extra set of clothes.
3. Give children a map role or let them pick a stop from approved options.
4. Play a short Kindos Road Trip Game, then switch to quiet time or an audiobook.
5. Check route, weather and attraction hours before leaving.

A plan to try

Try a half day trip to a park, a nearby historic town, a science museum or a scenic viewpoint. Keep the first trip short.
