[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.  We leave before nap time, stop from around 3-6pm and then drive over night [/quote]

I drove by myself with a 6 month old for a normally 10 hours trip recently. Did it coming and going by myself. I don't really see how air travel is a reasonable option for many when you consider all the things for an infant (pack n'play?, stroller, lots of clothes/sheets/towels, bottles, toys). I have friends that do it - more power to them.

We left right before the afternoon naptime around 12/1. I made sure we spent A TON of time outside and physical activity. We had a short nap in the morning (30 minutes).  The afternoon naps were about 2.5-3 hours and then I stopped when the infant demanded a stop between 3:30-6:30. It was about 45 or an hour between stops...etc. DC's carseat had special toys - and DC played with them. We would eat outside and walk around (me walk, DC in stroller or arms). DC fell asleep around 7 and stayed asleep even when we arrived at our destination. Yes, it wasn't easy - but I could do it again. I think if I had someone with me it would be half as difficult.
