[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are debating when to tackle the drive from VA to NJ for Thanksgiving.  When my son was very young, it didn't rally matter since he slept during any car ride.  Now that he is 22 months he isn't the biggest fan of the car.  We often do try to time certain trips with his nap but that won't work for Thanksgiving (but will for the ride home).  Based on the fact that he is wiggly and can even get out of his car seat at time and the traffic around this holiday, when would you leave?  Would you leave late Tuesday night (he goes to bed at 8) with hopes there is no traffic and he will sleep and then successfully go back to sleep (we have never done this) OR leave very early (6 am) on Wednesday morning with hopes he goes back to sleep for an hour or two (won't happen!) and just suck it up and deal with the horrible car ride?[/quote]

If he can get out of his car seat unassisted at 22 months, the straps on his car seat are dangerously loose. The straps should be flat on him and when you try to pinch the harness strap together, you should not be able to the strap together.

Car seats don't work unless the straps are very tight and the seat is installed properly. Please see a tech.

Before my in-laws died, we had good luck with that drive leaving early Thursday morning and having dinner around 3. I don't know how that fits your son's sleeping. schedule. [/quote]
