It’s that time of the year again when parents get a bit of time off work and kids get excited about not going to school for a few days.
You don’t want them screaming and asking if you are there yet every half an hour or getting irritable because mom and dad are concentrating on the road and not giving them attention. It’s best to keep them busy, that way you can focus on the road and they won’t be creating havoc in the back.Easier said than done, I know, but it can be done. The one thing I always make sure of before we all get in the car to travel is that the car is properly organised.
So for my two girls and husband, I always use backseat organisers because we don’t have a bakkie with lots of space. I ordered these online and they are perfect to keep order in the car because I have a neatness freak for a husband. Not complaining though. She is such a perfectionist and continuously tries to master every game she plays, so this keeps her silent for perhaps an hour or more.
For the youngest one I have a diaper changing station where I keep all the nappies, wipes and a plastic bag for dirty diapers at the back of the car. This is a must-have, I kid you not.
