My dd (nearly 2) is unused to car travel and, when she's had enough, wails to get up. We tend to go by public transport (not because of this; just easier in the city).
When we do travel by car we try to time it to coincide with naps for long stretches of the trip, stop for snacks/ leg stretching etc, and offer snacks en route. We also have a DVD player in the car, but she's not really interested in this.
So I'd welcome top tips and strategies! Are there any products/toys you can recommend for this age group in cars? She is especially fond of dolls and animals.
Really keen to have a plan in place before we embark on a long drive north in a few weeks time...
