While when my family goes on road trips, I don’t usually
allow Noah to spend time on gadgets. I do think some gadgets are great to have
that serve a purpose. There are many cool gadgets out there that will help your
road trip be better. I am open to
letting Noah watch movies in the backseat with a portable DVD player and
headphones. However I wouldn’t want him to do it the whole trip. We like to listen to books on tape too. A satellite radio is a must have gadget to
listen to all kinds of music. No one really plays CD’s anymore. If your child
is listening to music or a movie, headphones are important if it’s something
like Barney or Everything is Awesome on repeat for the fifteenth time.
I just learned that
there are car seat coolers that keep your baby cool in the car. I wish I would
have known that when Noah was a baby. He was a juicy sweaty baby. I never thought to bring a handheld vacuum
cleaner in a car. That is brilliant. Noah is a messy eater. He eats a lot of
cereal and crackers in the car. It would be so easy just to vacuum it out at a
rest stop. Since its battery operated, you won’t need a plug. No more soggy snacks or leaky coolers with a car
cooler because you won’t need to worry about bags of ice. It really stinks when
you go to fill up the cooler with ice and you find out you have none. Bags of
ice are available but the ice is usually in huge chunks and it makes it hard to
put in your cooler. I am going to look for these things for our next road trip
and hopefully not have to worry about the cooler leaking or mountains of crumbs
in the backseat.
