We did a lot of long distance car travel when we lived in Oz and will be back again next month. I think I actually prefer flying! Great tips though #fearlessfamtrav

In reply to MrsS. Yes wipes can come in very handy! We have learnt our lesson with the back up bag. 8 hours stuck on a motorway is not a fun experience!

What great tips!! Wipes- how can anyone forget wipes 🙂 and the back up bag is a great idea for when they run out of nibbles and are bored with their bag of toys! Thanks for sharing 🙂 #fearlessfamtrav

In reply to Baby Loves Travel. Yes road trips with a baby are a little easier when they sleep so much. Take some of her fave toys/books etc and stop often. Hope your trip goes smoothly :-)

The only long road trip we have done so far was when our daughter was 6 months old, so she slept most of the time – this year she will be 18 months old on the same trip, so I may well be needing some of these tips! #fearlessfamtrav

In reply to Ian. Oh no that's not good. Love the name your wife calls the ponchos! :D I would imagine if our boys were car sick all the time that we would dread them too.

Nice to see you enjoy a car trip! We tend to dread car trips as every single one of my kids gets car sick. Now we fill them up with Gravol before going anywhere and pack a change of clothes. We also put art smocks on the youngest ones just in case. These are affectionately refered to by my wife and I as “barf ponchos”. #fearlessfamtrav

What a useful guide! Qatar is such a small country our lo is not use to long road trips so this will be invaluable in the future
