I will be making a 10 hour drive by myself with 4 kids ages 7 to 2. I've done 4 hour drives but I'm nervous about 10. I know we'll be stopping a lot but any suggestions on how to entertain them, letting them snack, etc? Normally I would divide snacks up into individual baggies and every 2 hours hand one out to each kid but I obviously can't do that if I'm driving. I don't want to just give them all their snacks at once because I know they would eat them all within 2 hours and whine the other 8 that they have no snacks. I'm going to be putting the 6 and 7 year old boys back into 5 point harness for the drive because they are really bad about slumping and not sitting properly in their boosters. We have an iPad which I could download movie on to but does anyone know of a way to hook it up in our van? I've seen holders that are attached to the front seat headrest, anyone know if those are okay? Any suggestions for a solo long car trip would be helpful. Thank you!
