What foods are good to bring on a road trip?

The necessities...what should I bring for this holiday road trip?

  • I have a 5 month old whom has only been no more than 2 hours away from home since birth. She will be experiencing my side of the family for the first time who are approx. 6 hours from home. The trip will be a 3-4day stay. My wife insists on bring practically everything except the crib for the trip (exersaucer, toys, bouncy chair, play mat, etc.etc.) Keep in mind we also have to fit our stuff in this (4days worth of clothing for the both of us, toiletries, cold weather gear for outdoor activities. Not to mention, the babies clothing and blankets and other bare essentials) Top it all off it has to fit in a Toyota Matrix with a mid size non-rigid cartop carrier. Tried looking into renting a mid-size SUV/mini-van for the trip...prices are almost as much as it would for me to fly home. I want to go as light as possible. Anyone have any suggestions?

  • Answer:

    Let her know that an exersaucer, or a bouncy chair is not a travel toy. Promise her that if she feels the baby really needs a bouncy chair or exersaucer while on holiday, you'll find a store to buy one for her. (even if you do, it would still be cheaper than renting an SUV). A playmat and small toys are a good idea, as long as you don't take too many. The best way is to negotiate with your wife; try to come to a working agreement on what to take.

I think you need to man up and tell your wife you're not bringing all that extra crap. There is no reason to bring an exersaucer, bouncy chair, play mat, etc, etc,etc on a 3 or 4 day trip. Is the kid gonna spend all its time using those things at your families house. Or is it more likely you guys will be running around town showing the baby off to people.

its snowing where i live its a blizzard so u should bring chains, warm clothes, sleeping bags, tons of food, flashlights, and fleshlights if ur desperate.
