Road trips with you friends can be fun. Road trips with kids can be also fun. That is, if they behave properly and do not get into fights or arguments throughout the long drive. Of course, aside from keeping your vehicle in top shape with quality parts from online stores like Auto Parts Discount, Edmunds.com provides families a list of ten indispensable things to bring along during a trip.
1. Cellular phone – You would be needing this especially if you do meet an accident or do need immediate assistance.
2. Detailed maps – This would work best compared to asking around especially if you’re stuck somewhere without any population visible.
3. Entertainment for kids – This would keep them quiet. Well, at least for some time.
4. Food – Something to munch on would do well, but not those huge complete meals that would make your car’s interior sticky all over.
5. Travel-sized supplies – This would mean coming prepared for battle. Bring with you first aid kits, baby wipes, disposable placemats, sunscreen, etc. Make sure though that you are bringing them in travel sizes only. Bring them as you buy them from the grocery would only eat much space on your luggage.
6. Prescription medicines – This way, you would not have to bother some doctor if someone in your pack needs them.
7. Change of clothing – Be specially prepared anytime, whatever the season. Remember, the weather can be very unpredictable.
8. Legal documents – Includes drivers licenses, IDs, atm cards, credit cards, etc. You never know when someone would be asking you for them. However, put them in a safe place.
9. Your child’s favorite blanket or toy – You would not want your small one fretting because he does not have his favorite thingie.
10. Shades – They would do well especially if you are driving a long one under the scorching sun. Keeps you looking cool, too.
