Now THIS is how I like to travel with a baby!
When I got home, I coincidentally received the following guest post about keeping kids entertained
on holiday road trips. For our own train trip, the most useful thing we had was the laptop. (I also had mine
with me and actually managed to edit 81 pages of my miscarriage book on the trip home!) While we were
at my in-laws, I also bought some fun little ”blind bag” Playmobil and Lego figures and gave them to the
kids to play with on the way home.
Guest Post: Top 10 Kid Gadgets for Holiday Road Trips

Talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous. But a mid-transit chat pales in comparison to the
distraction of driving with one (or two!) children wailing in the backseat. Nothing increases adrenaline and
quick recall of four-letter words quite like crying kids.
As parents, we can mentally cope with crying kids to and from the grocery store. But long-distance
trips need more finesse. Careful preparation and a few necessities can prevent a few glitches and keep your
travel going smoothly. As you prepare for holiday travels, make the most of your trip with these handy
gadgets.
