The Best Tips to Keep the Baby Safe on a Road Trip

October 27, 2021 by Annie

Travelling sounds fun because it is the best time to go on a social detox and cut off from your conventional routine. However, the experience becomes overwhelming when you’re planning to travel with kids. Because the little munchkins can be very hard to handle at times, ensuring their security during a road trip becomes paramount. In simpler terms, toddlers are naughty, full of life, and are always eager to explore the world around them. Your kids can get up to a lot of mischief in the back seat, and this can sometimes compromise their safety. Here, we will walk you through the best tips to keep your baby safe during a road trip:

Safety Tattoos for Kids

Lost children are a parent’s worst nightmare. If your child has a safety tattoo printed on their wrist, it will be easy for a stranger to let you know about the whereabouts of your child. A safety tattoo should contain your phone number or email address so that the stranger can get in touch with you quickly. This way, you can feel confident about taking your kids out in the open to play while taking breaks during your road trip.

Don’t Forget the First Aid Box

Children tend to play a lot and get injured simultaneously. Even on lengthy road trips, it can take several hours in a bumpy car to reach your destination, and kids can become restless. Never underestimate the importance of a first aid box that contains necessities such as bandages, cotton buds, stomach ache medication, or any other ‘just in case’ items that may be required for the journey.

Check the Car Seats

Make sure the car seats are comfortable for your little ones. If your child is very young or you’re about to travel with a baby, we recommend that you look for a child booster seat at Maxi-Cosi online. Choose one according to your requirements that will give your children a comfortable travel experience. After all, who doesn’t want to have a comfy journey with their kids?

Avoid Sunburn

The skin of young children is particularly sensitive to the sun’s harsh rays. If they’re sitting in the back seat of the car for long periods of time, or getting out at a truck stop for a run, they’ll need adequate sun protection. We recommend carrying a sunscreen with an SPF of 50+ that has a good rating. Make sure to apply it to their face, hands, arms, and ears. The sunscreen will protect their tender skin from the scorching heat of the sun.

Stroller Safety

Make sure to get a stroller before setting off. After all, every parent loves to take their little ones out for a walk during the trip. Develop a habit of always carrying a stroller every time you have to go on a trip with the family.

 

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
