Car Trip with Just 1 Year Old

I am taking a 4 hour car trip with my two boys, ages almost 4 and just turned 1. The big boy is easy. He colors and has a little computer and can keep happy just fine. The one year old only wants to walk around carrying things and wants to dismantle all household items. Not very conducive to a car trip. I cant think of what to bring for him. I guess I have some ideas, but none that would last more than 5 minutes. Any ideas would be great.

20 Month Old on Airplane

Hi Moms, I am getting ready to travel with my 20 month old son on an airplane.

The flight is almost 3 hours long and I tried to scheule it close to his nap time. Any thought on keeping him occupied and preventing ear pain? Thank you so much!

Toys for Hotel During Vacation

Hi moms! So we're traveling with our 5 year-old boy and 2 year-old girl to Mexico for Thanksgiving. One issue we always seem to have is that there is not enough for them to do (play with) for the time we're in the hotel room.

At home she plays forever with her dollhouse, puzzles, and books. We're staying in a rather remote area of Mexico, and there...
