long car trip with baby

Ask a Travel Expert

I have an 8 month old daughter We are planning two trips in the near future both about 5 hour drives I am worried about a few things 1) My daughter is now "on the move" and doesn't like to be held back from doing so Even if we stopped to let her move around 5 hours is a long time in the car 2) She often sleeps in the car I'm afraid she will sleep most of the way there and back and majorly mess up her sleep schedule Any advice would be SO greatly appreciated Thanks

crusing with a toddler and a preschooler

Ask a Travel Expert

Hi Jeanne

Against my better judgment I have agreed to go on a cruise (Princess line) with my 2 young children (ages 1 1/2 and 3)

What will I do to survive

I am used to going to a resort and hanging out at the beach all day where my kids can play in the sand next to me This is so different and I'm nervous Also there are 4 full days of "at sea" travel

Thanks for your input

hawaii trip

Ask a Travel Expert

We are taking a trip to Hawaii with our 7 month old I have two concerns the airplane ride and the time change Do you have any advice for the 5 hour flight Also there is a 3 hour time difference I'm afraid this is going to mess up her schedule and I will be up with her in the middle of the night (because she'll think it's morning )
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

turnpike travel

Ask a Travel Expert

Dear travel expert
We spent 325 miles on the NJ and PA turnpikes this weekend listening to Ernie and Elmo singing " beep beep beep " It got a little BORING for baby to be in the carseat so much and tiring for me as the back seat puppeteer and one woman show Could you suggest the best rest stops for kids where the food is mildly healthful where there are playgrounds grassy knolls fun kiosks
Thanks travel expert :ernie:
