Get your vocal chord ready for lots of silly songs to pass the time away and wear them out into a peaceful sleep!

dvd player with ear phones for the kids in the back, along with their fav movie and some crisps :) works a treat

I have a relatively young child so PLENTY of songs...and you can never get bored of counting cars......oh and not to forget colours of cars!

Have a good mix of songs for everyone to sing along too, lifts the mood and time will fly by.

Plenty drinks and snacks. Lots of books and pens. Their own maps to follow the road.

Do and say everything you can to make them understand the reason for the journey and make the journey an enjoyable part of the holiday.

Split arguing siblings up by sitting one in the front with the driver + one in the back with the the other parent then swop over during trip

Talk to them rather than switch on the radio/cd. Engage them with what's OUTSIDE the car. Guess what to expect in the next 10 minutes.

Always travel in a Mazda5, It puts De Maz in Da Drive!

Make a travel journal together to help them understand the journey, prepare what they need and adventures they'll have along the way!

Plenty of food & drink and DVD player or electronic games.

Get them to grasp the concept of travelling across the country - even helping with map reading... depending on their age.

Take a favourite toy each, their snuggle blanket and drinks and snacks. Also make up a cd of all of their favourite songs! Happy kids!!
