...but faintly daft question regarding travel/food.

I'm going away for a week or so with a group of people and would love to be able to cook and bring some meals for the 2 DC with me in advance. There won't be much time to be cooking while we are there, no-one else has young DC, we'll be out and about a lot and I think we are going to be miles from the nearest shop... I just know already it will be an almighty faff trying to sort out food for them while we are there.

If I cook and freeze a few meals along the bolognese-sauce lines, will it stay frozen over a 6 hour car journey in of those cool bags with an ice pack thingie in? Or is that just to keep food cool not frozen?

If this will keep it frozen, can anyone recommend a good bag and how many ice packs would I need?

Or any other ideas about how to deal with this?

SORRY to ask such a ludicrous question but I know that someone here will know. I do love MN.

I don't think a cool bag is enough. You will need a proper cooler, with plastic walls and foam filling.

Depending on the ages of your kids, I would either take jars / non-refrigerated food or buy food out there.

Mine are 2 and 3 and eat whatever we eat. But, I would still take HIPP fruit etc., to make sure they are still getting fruit and veggies just in case.
