What to take/pack for camping?

RVs, Carseats, Lifejackets, Camping, Food for Camping (Toddlers?)?

• If you or someone you know has gone camping or traveled in an RV with kids that are still required to be in a toddler seat... How did it work? Were you able to buckle the seats in? Did you have to use booster seats? Did you end up not using seats? (I don't really want to - I would stick them in the other car first but my MIL wouldn't like that) - We are going camping in an RV for one night at the end of May and we have a lot coming between now and then so just trying to plan. My kids are 1 and 2 yrs old and I will be 37 weeks pregnant the day we go. So if you know anything about RV seats and carseats let me know. Or about what I should bring for kids to go camping 1 night at the lake (we will have my 2 kids and my MIL is bringing her 11 kids ranging in age from 6 - 21) Also, another question... we will be having hamburgers the second day for lunch so what should we do the first day for dinner? (don't want the same thing) and what can you make for breakfast on a campground grill/fire pit? (Last time I went camping I was like 11 so I didn't pay attention to things like that lol) Oh yeah, I have an infant life jacket for my 1 yr old but need one for my 2 yr old what kind do you like and lasts for a while. Thanks for all the help Oh and its a 45min - 1 hour drive in the mountains to the lake and we will be towing a set of Wave Runners

• Answer:

  I have twin daughters that are 15 months. We have camped their whole life. Take a deep breath. It would be the safest to put the children in a safety seat the whole ride and put on some cheesy music. tell them what you will be doing. Maybe you will not even have to go, being that pregnant. Food while camping is easy, give them what they want. i know it sounds bad, but they will have fun with all the other kids. Speedo makes a great bodysuit/lifejacket that straps in the crotch and is easy on them too......let me know what you think.
