(Australia-NewsWire.Com, October 07, 2015 ) Witta, Queensland -- Giggling Monkey understands that travelling with children in the car can be an experience like no other. Children do not handle the confinement well and are easily bored.
For the parents there are many joys like listening to the same Dora songs over and over again, many forced stoppages for another urgent toilet break, spending much of the trip turning around to the back seat to attend to the infant or having to sing non stop nursery rhymes. Children get bored very quickly in a car and have been known to fight, squirm, tantrum and the favourite one, say "Are We There Yet"? constantly. These are just some of the joys of car travel with kids! It can be exhausting.
Giggling Monkey suggests that departure time should be early morning before the sun comes up or after the sun goes down. If driving in the dark doesn't appeal the same steps apply for day time travel. Wake them up at least an hour before departure and tire them with lots of running, then feed, bath and dress them in pyjamas, this will encourage them to sleep.
Infants tend to sleep in moving cars. They usually only need to be woken just before departure with enough time to feed, bath and dress before heading out. If babies have a full tummy and are comfortable they should just sleep. Ensure that the car seat is soft and comfortable while being clear of any objects. Twisting around to check on infants that can't be seen is a major problem but Giggling Monkey offers a solution for this a little later.
Pack snacks for the toddlers and have plenty of extra bottles for the infant. If breast feeding then arrange the stop times around feeding times. Toddlers will require entertainment once awake so after feeding them ensure they have their favourite toys close at hand. In this modern technology era, ipads to watch their favourite shows on are wonderful for consuming time and also have a great Wiggles or their current favourite CD to play. A new toy hidden in the front for when things get really tough can lighten the mood. Parents know which toys work and which won't so prepare the favourites early.
Stopping occasionally is a great time for the toddlers to release some energy and for Mom to feed the infant. Make a game out of when the next stop will be so the toddlers can have fun with it. Offering a reward of some kind for playing well is always a great idea.
New Mom's or Dad's can find it difficult with an infant in a rear facing car seat as not being able to see them at all times can cause lots of stress. Turning away from the road to check on bub is a major distraction that is very dangerous. Giggling Monkey has a new Baby Car Mirror for sale on Amazon that will alleviate this problem.
With this Giggling Monkey Baby Car Mirror, one quick glance in the rear view mirror will show not only bubby in full but the surrounding area of the car seat. This will keep safety higher due to not having to remove the focus from the front. This product features a large mirror with a crystal clear image and also comes with a soft outer cover for added protection for bubby if he/she kicks out. The straps are securely attached so will not fall off.
This mirror has many more features which can be seen on the Amazon page. Giggling Monkey has had this mirror on sale for $19.90 with a 1 year guarantee. Judith from Giggling Monkey stated that "Giggling Monkey believes that this extremely important piece of safety equipment should be affordable for all.
