Children often eat out of boredom on trips. Because of this don't give them chips, candy bars, licorice, fruit twists, ect. you are just going to be keeping them up all night and/or making them have a upset tummy in the car (not very delightful) A list of "Travel Safe Snacks" are : pretzels, animal crackers, all-natural fruit rolls, raisins, cereal, granola bars, and cheese sticks.

If you are leaving home anywhere from 5:00am - 8:00am ,don't eat breakfast at home, stop at a fast food restaurant AFTER you have been traveling for about 1 1/2 ,this then breaks the trip up a little. If you are still on the road for lunch, EAT in The CAR, this saves time, trust me, If you are on the road at about 4:00pm-6:00pm eat dinner at a fast food restaurant.

Non-Peak times to eat:

Breakfast- 5:00am-7:00am

Lunch-Don't even stop at a restaurant for lunch, eat in the car

Dinner: 4:00-4:45pm

Lunches in the car should be simple yet filling, good foods are:

PB&J, cheese sticks, juice, roast beef sandwiches, turkey sandwiches, pretzels, ect...

PS-make sure and BRING A COOLER!!!
