Trail mix - nuts, seeeds, some sultanas.
Savoury mini muffins or quiches
Melon Balls
Bananas
Piklets or crumpets (my girls love these cold with butter O.o)
Popcorn
****tail franks
Hard boiled eggs.
Some great suggestions already.
My tip. Pull over every 2 hours or so for a snack time in a playground. They can run off the sillies and you won't get the messier snacks all though your car.
we did a trip to sydney with a 20 month old so had to factor snacks into it - i know we stopped every 90mins to two hours for a run/play/toilet break, and had proper "meal" type food then. but in the car we had dry fruit mix, sultana buds, rice crackers, vegemite sandwiches and water. we had more interesting sandwiches (chicken and salad) when we stopped, as well as yogurt and things.
surprisingly (to me anyway!) the little girl that snacks all the time at home didn't want to eat all that much while we were travelling. i guess she's more like me than i thought (i tend to go into "not sure how far til the next loo so i'm not going to eat or drink too much" mode lol)
These are some great ideas, we are doing a 10hr car trip with 3 in a couple of months so some good ideas for me as well.
We are planning on leaving pretty early to get through Melb before they are due to wake and have breakfast - so will stop for about an hour - and then try and get to the next stop for lunch after they have another sleep, then a stop for afternoon tea, so hopefully we won't need too many snack during the actual drive part of the trip
