Entertaining Baby on a long car trip can help make everyone's trip that much better. But what can parents do to help their infants survive family time on the road? Try these tested tips from parents to help make your next road trip easier.

Amy Upton, a Virginia Beach, Va., high school guidance counselor and mom of four children ranging in age from 2 to 15, knows all too well the challenges that come with traveling by car with children in tow. "I have taken way more long car trips with my children than I believe any sane person should," says Upton. "With that said, what are the tricks that have worked with babies a year old or younger? Well, the best one is their siblings – they love to entertain their baby brother or sister."

Christine Hill, a Jacksonville, Fla., mom to Joey, 16 months, Christopher, 10, and Emily, 13, agrees with Upton. "One sure game that stops his [Joey's] fussing every time is good old-fashioned peek-a-boo," says Hill. "Emily holds up a blanket in front of her face and then drops it and he laughs every time. Of course, she's very animated and that helps."

"If you are not lucky enough to have a bunch of children to help you or you are traveling alone with a baby, bringing an ample supply of toys helps, but they will eventually be dropped, and it is not a good idea to pick up dropped toys in the back seat while driving," says Upton. "The best way is to get toys that attach to the seat."
