hi guys my husband wants to take our toddler 19 months old to a road trip. it's going to be 8-10 hrs by our car..... I'm actually not sure how to do it. my son doesn't talk right now he is on whole milk he eats everything. but I'm really not sure with such a small kid it's right to travel such a long journey. he says we will take breaks n all..... but will it not be tiresome??

definitely its gonna b tiresome for u.. coz he mite get irritated many times in between.. u know even wen my daughter was year n half v had been to kodaikanal.. n she was totally on my lap.. v actually travelled midnights. Both up n down.. got scoldings from elders but it was little more convenient.. coz she was asleep almost 3/4th d distance.. it mite not b safe if u aren't confident.. I was kinda confident coz of my husband's driving.. I can giv u a suggestion.. at least start off sumwhere at night 3:30 or 4 ..at least 4- 5 hours he Wil b asleep.. but do go n enjoy u al need a break too :)

hii mansi, even I went with my daughter to a road trip, shezz 1 year plus..... we started from Delhi to vaiahnodevi to patni top n back. it took us 4 days to return to delhi. whole day we were driving n at night we stayed in hotel n morning again same routine. my daughter also eats everything. I kept use n throw cups n spoons to prepare baby food. we were buying bananas, apples n oranges n curd on d way. hot water was not a prob at all. we were taking proper breaks too like breakfast, lunch, snacks, at that time she use to play. also kept her fav toy in car........ I carry lot of home water whenever I travel with my girl.

my daughter was 15 months old when i travelled manali through the delhi to manali road by car and it took 18 hours to reach there and overall the trip ended by total 47 hours road trip. i carried the food like oats,dalia and fruits also. there was actually no problem as because kids are enjoying more than us

thanks a lot ppl but the problem with my son is he doesn't eat these chips,cakes, chocolates.... actually we r only 3 in the house so we don't eat all that so we don't get it at home so he also doesn't have taste for it.... he eats ghar ka khana all paratha ,sabzi , dal n anything which is being made at home. n more over he doesn't have sweet tooth he don't eat sweet.... but I'm sure I'll find something for him to feed. else I'll try all chips n cakes hahaha hope he will eat

http://www.mylittlemoppet.com/instant-khichdi-mix-recipe-instant-homemade-rice-cereal/ http://www.mylittlemoppet.com/broken-wheat-porridge-powder-recipe/ hey! if u staying in a hotel do carry induction stove n it's two vessels along wid any little ingredients dat u can cook easy n quick if he gets too fussy since he luvs wat u make ..it won't b messy.. I carried stove wid rice sooji n sugar.. ordered milk from hotel restaurant n Made sooji sweet mix. u can carry salt n onions since he dusn like sweet.. anyway u can avoid even dis if his stomach is ok wid light foods of restaurants.. like rice n dal.. but always prefer only moong dal ..it's lighter

Recently, I experienced that when my transponder malfunctioned and refused to transmit tolls. I subsequently received multiple fines at once and had to set aside a sizable sum of money to pay them. Finding a unique and capable application is therefore the best course of action. Uproad is one such program that I use. Additionally, because there is no longer a difficulty if you cross the I-495 Express Lanes https://www.uproad.com/toll-point/495-express-lanes-toll-info-prices-cost-payment-options , I advise it. Finding it and being able to travel without worrying about paying the highway on time or getting fined was very helpful to me. The program runs smoothly and virtually without any bugs.
