Ellis, who spends a lot of time in the outdoors and travelling with her young family of three, shares some seasoned advice on how to travel with kids.
- Prepare lots of snacks for your trips beforehand.
- Stock up on art supplies. I always bring a big box of paper, paints, crayons and colouring in books to keep the kids busy.
- Give the kids their own bags with games, books and things they need in the car
Take lots of breaks on road trips, as the kids get tired sitting for a long time.
- Stop for lunch or cold drinks when you can.
- iPads with headphones for car trips can be a lifesaver. Those headphones are important, so that you’re not stuck with blaring sound
