What’s safe and cushy as a spa chair? The Evenflo Momentum 65 (with e3 side impact) car seat, that’s what.
As bloggers for Evenflo’s cheeky-but-useful savvy moments in parenting blog (stuff like potty training at 30,000 feet, mantras for grandparent visits, and to DVD or not DVD on road trips), we were each given a car seat to take for a test drive as well as one to give away you. Read Whitney’s take on the car seat.
Want one? Evenflo provided us one to give to a lucky reader.

Make copies of all passports and keep them in a separate place.
My 10 month old loves to sing so we keep him entertained by coming up with songs on the fly! Mom and dad make up silly songs and our little one Oohs along!
We learned this one the hard way (by not doing it the first time) – we are going to have our baby nap in his Pack-n-Play for about a week prior to traveling. Unfortunately, we hadn’t done this before our Thanksgiving trip, and we didn’t sleep for about 4 days!
When traveling to Grandma’s house in the summer we like to pack a picnic lunch and blanket. We stop half way at a rest area to eat and play on the play ground. The lunch is healthier than fast food, and we run off energy while playing that our toddler usually sleeps for the second half of the trip!
If you attach something like the gogo traveler handle to your car seat it makes getting around the airport easier.
We have learned to travel at night!!! If your child sleeps all night its perfect! One night of not sleeping for the parents in MUCH better than a screaming child for a 8 hour car ride!!!!!
sadie is still little enough that i keep about 6 different toys out of sight. and every time she fusses a new one magically – poof! – appears out of think air for her to play with until she bores and we begin again. its not a new concept for any mom, but boy is it handy when sitting in holiday traffic!
a friend of mine taught me to individually wrap snack items in aluminum foil to keep our infant/toddler busy on long international flights. you only need a handful of tricks that take up an hour to get across the ocean
