[quote=Anonymous]I have done trips of this length with babies up through toddlers alone and rear facing. My strategy was to leave at bedtime and get to my destination around midnight. It was doable to stay up that late for me and the kids slept. If I had to do it during the day I would plan out numerous rest of stops where they could get out and move around to break it up. Hopefully with numerous stops and naps it would go okay but would likely take more like 7 hours than 5. Truthfully, in this situation sometimes they will just have to cry, be upset, and wait to get their be needs met same as if you are driving a shorter trip and can't stop. It's good to have options to entertain them but it's unrealistic to be able to manage it for them when driving.[/quote]
