I spy games, you can vary it, ie items outside or inside, counting cars of a certain colour, its a must in our car for car sick kids

Take plenty of ebtertainment - in car DVDs work well for us.

make sure they are safe

I pile all of my sons cheeriest CD's into the car and we sing as loudly and as long as the journey takes!

Plan your route know what's on the way, what to look out for and where the breaks will be

LEAVE THEM AT HOME !!!!

Keep the kids entertained with i-spy games while travelling. Helpd the time pass very quickly.

Keep calm and make a couple of pitstops. It might add to the time of the journey but will make for calmer Mums, Dads and children
