[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello I am planning a 5 hour car trip with my almost 2 year old this summer. It will just be the 2 of us in the car and she will be backward facing.

I read a recent thread about activities I can give her (thanks for the tips!) but I am curious about the dynamic of not being able to help her if she drops something or needs to switch activities bc I will be driving.

I plan to depart at nap time and hope to get 2+ hours before she wakes up.  When she does I will stop get her situated with snack and activity.  My hope is that I get another 90 minutes and maybe one more stop before we arrive.

I am happy to let her watch tv/movies but I have some concerns bc there will not be anyone else in the car to manage it for her.  At home she watches short shows (Teletubbies, Mr. Rogers, some Winnie the Pooh episodes). Also even very G rated Winnie the Pooh can cause her to get upset if something bad happens to one of the characters.

Am I over thinking this?
