Road Trip Checklist

Before your family hits the road, pack the following for a more enjoyable and healthy trip.

  • Map or directions – If you can’t get there, you can’t have fun! Plan for rest stops for longer trips.
  • Camera to capture your family fun.
  • For older kids, consider providing a journal to keep track of their travels and build memories.
  • Clean-up materials like baby wipes, hand sanitizers and napkins.
  • Pillows and blankets for a more comfortable car ride for kids in case they want to sleep.
  • First Aid Kit – Just in case! Pack any medicines your child may need while traveling.
  • For outdoor destinations, pack sunscreen, bug spray, hats, and a change of clothes, since kids love to get dirty and/or wet!
  • Books to read or coloring books to color in order to keep kids entertained. For longer trips, consider packing a bag of new toys for the car.
  • Trash bag to keep America beautiful.
  • Emergency road kit for your car including jumper cables, flashlights, etc.
