Planning a road trip

in about a month my family of 4 girls (all 6 1/2 and under), my husband and I will be taking a 4ish hours (longer if there are more pit stops than normal) and I'm looking for some things for them to do in the car. I'm really hoping the youngest sleeps most of the way, b/c she is the hardest to keep confined in her seat, she HATES rear-facing (but tough poo to her, LOL, she's 18 months, she'll need to deal!) so she cries a lot when she's awake. Soft books just hit her sisters (sitting in the 3rd row) in the face or body. I have given her stuffed animals, small stuffed babies, ect and she just throws them b/c she wants OUT of her seat. Thoughts on activities for all of them?

Our DVD player is the only way we get through road trips. We have the flat screen ones that strap to the head rests, we only use them on long trips and avoid putting them up till short people start shrieking but they totally do the trick.

That's a tough age (the youngest) because they're not really good at entertaining themselves yet. Some cd's with kids songs might buy you some time. Also, if she likes being read to, you can bring some of her books and read to her from the front seat. The older girls may be able to keep occupied with paperback books for a while if they're anything like my dd. Good luck!
