8 Tips to Keep Comfy on Car Rides

car-road-tripWhether its a car ride to see relatives or a fun weekend getaway, make sure you’re prepared to enjoy the whole weekend including the car trip. Car rides can be the perfect excuse to spend some quality time chatting, or just zone out to good tunes while enjoying the scenery. If you’re planning a road trip, it goes without saying that the main thing you’ll need is a car. However, you could opt for something else like an RV Rental Denver which would give you far more space for you and your family to spread out in and would allow you to explore the country in luxury.

Road trips are usually quite long, so your car needs to be able to travel long distances without breaking down. If you’re unsure whether your car is fit for driving a long way, you might want to consider purchasing a second-hand car instead. Some people like to use Autozin to find a selection of vehicles, however, picking the right car will depend on a number of factors. It depends how many people you’re taking and how much you’re taking with you. Choosing a spacious car might be a good idea, especially if you’re going to be in it for a while.

You could also consider renting a car purely for the purpose of your road trip. This can be particularly useful if you are heading overseas. Not sure where to start? There are some fantastic car rental companies out there online nowadays so do not be afraid to shop around online to find the best deal ahead of your road trip. For example, if you are looking for a car rental in iceland it is well worth doing some research into Icelandic car hire companies in advance of your visit so that you already have an idea in mind of the type of vehicle that you would like to rent.

There are no doubts about it, sitting for too long can be uncomfortable for anyone. As you get along in months in your pregnancy, make sure that you are ready to enjoy a good road trip! As mentioned above, if you don’t think the car you own is comfortable enough for a long car journey, look into Family Car Hire so the car is a bit more spacious and considerate to the needs of your growing family.

  • Check with your OB to make sure travel is a good idea.
  • Keep a couple water bottles handy in the trunk. Rehydrating boosts energy levels.
  • Also keep a couple snacks ready in your car in case you are feeling hungry. Granola bars or apples are quick, store well and create hardly a mess.
  • Take an extra jacket or shirt for layering options.
  • For longer road trips, travel with someone else – especially as you are further along in your pregnancy.
  • Wear your seatbelt low and snug around your hips.
  • If your traveling during your third trimester, take along a copy of your prenatal records.
  • Get out of the car frequently for “scenic” breaks and to walk around and stretch.

Prepare in advance and consider avoiding travels to places that go to places too remote. If you’re sharing the ride with someone else, take a pillow and catch a short nap. Enjoy these pre-baby travels!
