Tips for keeping 18month old amused on long road trip??

[Daydream Believer]

We got to Bright regulary which is a 4 hour trip for us. We make sure DD has plenty of snacks & water. Toys & books within reach. We have a portable dvd player but havent had to use it yet. We stop every hour or so, so she can get out have a play & run around. And we try to do as much driving as possible when she's due for a sleep, so more often than not we will drive at 730pm & she'll fall asleep in half hour-hour

Thanks Sal.
We are planning to leave at 4am as I think I will be able to take her from her cot and put her in her seat and she will sleep for 2-3 more hrs - so we can get a head start - she is a good sleeper in the car so may sleep for a good part of it - fingers crossed!!
