#23: 7 Road Trip Strategies for Traveling with a Toddler and Infant
Road-tripping with kids doesn’t have to be chaotic - if you plan with intention.
In this episode, we’re sharing exactly how we prepared for and took a 16+ hour family road trip to the mountains with a toddler and infant.
We’re sharing the 7 strategies we implemented that made it easier, more enjoyable and aligned with how we want to travel as a family. This is the behind-the-scenes of what it really takes to stay aligned as a couple and family while traveling.
We cover:
- How we used ChatGPT to plan stops that matched our values (think: nature, playgrounds and a small town ice cream stop)
- What we packed (and how we packed) to reduce stress for both us and the kids
- Why we involved our 3-year-old in the whole process and how that changed the experience
- How we handled the return trip when things didn’t go as planned
- What we’ll do differently next time, so the lessons learned
You’ll hear both the practical strategies and the small mindset shifts that helped us stay connected and flexible throughout the trip - even when our son gave himself felt-marker face tattoos!!
Whether you're planning your first road trip with littles or you want to make your next one more easeful and intentional, this episode is filled with real-life takeaways you can try on your next adventure.
We believe in traveling and adventuring WITH our kids and not waiting until "later". This is exactly how we do it and minimize arguing and fights!
