Summer creates opportunities for quality family time and vacations. With the children out of school, parents are always looking to find fun and creative ways to enjoy the summer with their families. A common summer experience is the family road trip. Road trips not only create bonding experiences but are affordable means of transportation for the entire family. For families of multiples, travelling with many children can be quite expensive. Road trips allow the entire family to travel without spending a fortune getting to a vacation destination. During this difficult economy, parents are spending longer hours in the cars with children and road safety is key.
For over 85 years, Evenflo has been a worldwide leader in the development of innovative infant equipment and is now one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of high quality baby care and juvenile products. Evenflo has created the Savvy Parents Guide & Survey for helpful information and tips on how to keep the entire family safe on and off the road.
- The biggest worry parents have when taking car trips is that their young child will be harmed in a collision (76%)
- Integral to a safe ride is proper car-seat installation, but a full 65% of mothers and 72% of fathers encounter challenges when installing car seats
- Nearly half (49%) admit that installing the car seat caused them to sweat more than actually making the baby did! 🙂
- Some 48% of parents worry about keeping their child entertained while in their car seat.
- 34% worry that their little Houdini will wiggle out of the car seat
- 32% worry their child will have a temper tantrum
Evenflo’s Savvy Parents Survey indicated that preparation and creativity is the key to keeping car-seat-strapped kids happy (and to help reduce meltdown tantrums):
- 72% of parents stock the car with toys
- 54% rely on Cheerios and Goldfish snacks
- 37% leave behind at least a dozen Cheerios in their seat after a road trip
- 11% leave enough Cheerios for tomorrow morning’s breakfast bowl
- 46% sing silly songs
- 36% play DVDs
- 27% keep books on hand.
To help all families on their summer travel, Evenflo is offering the Ultimate Savvy Parent’s Car Kit Giveaway:
- $25 Gas Gift Card, a little treat for mom and dad
- Moist Wipes, for quick car clean up
- Baby Mirror, to check out rear-facing baby while driving
- Soft Book, to secure safety of passengers when thrown during tantrum
- Kid/Parent Friendly CD, to inspire a family sign along

I love the Classic™ Glass Feeding Bottles
I LOVE THE EVENFLO PRODUCTS I HAVE, WE USE THE INSULATED BAGS FOR SNACKS, AN EXCERSAUCER, BREAST PUMP, AND THE CHILD SAFETY GATE:)
TRAVEL FOR OUR FAMILY OF 5 TAKES A LITTLE WORK. WE CARRY BOOKS FOR OUR 2YO HE REALLY LIKES TO READ NUMBERS & ALPHABETS NOW. THE 8MO STILL SLEEPS SOME. BUT WHEN HE GETS FUSSY WE SING TO HIM.
I like Evenflo BabyGo Travel High Chair that I got from baby shower.

We always pack lots of snacks and toys for our kids while travelling. We also make stops along the way to let everyone blow off some energy.

We have 5 children and travel with all of them a lot. My favorite product and travel tip is keeping the chlorine free wipes in the main part of our van for easy and safe face/hand clean ups. I even like to keep the wipes in hubby’s car for the times he takes kids to their functions.
Peace,

My best tip for a road trip is make sure to stop often at a place where the kids can get out and get active. It really helps them burn up some energy and breaks up the trip for them.
I have always been a fan of the basic glass Evenflo bottles. I started all of my babies with these because I was a freak about sterilizing and these held up to boiling.
I liked Evenflo on FB and posted that Mami and the Multiples sent me.

Best tip for roadtrips is pack lots of snacks and toys!!
I visited the site! Some tips are to leave at night, if possible, bring lots of “new” toys (ones that you have hidden from them for a week :)), and be prepared to stop!
