It is advisable to have breakfast during the road soon after the children have just woken up. If you had bought them new toys, it is best to reveal it to them once on the road trip. The toys however should not be too noisy or irritating to the driver as it may lead to an accident. This will keep them very excited and in a joyful mood. In addition to the toys, a portable DVD player will also come in handy with at least three DVDs to watch along the way.
