    We are taking our 8 month old on quite a long trip on Saturday - it's 2 hours to the ferry port, an hour and a half on the ferry then 2 hours onto where we are staying.

    Any tips on how to keep her occupied and / or anything I need to take other than the usuals? I'm hoping she will sleep for most of it but that's wishful thinking!

    Thank you

    How old is your LO? We have taken Sara away a few times and its a good couple of hours in the car and she sleeps the whole way, even if its not her nap time. She can get a bit grumpy but I just hook a load of things for her to look at on the seat and that keeps her busy for the short time she is awake

    While on the ferry we just wonder around and look at things and just play as if we were at home!

    Thanks Liz, she will be 8 months old on Saturday, at 17 weeks she would have slept but in the past couple of weeks the car has not been getting her to sleep at all! She is too nosey now
    I'm planning on hooking a lot of toys around the seat so she will have lots to look at.

    I think I'm just a bit nervous as we have never taken her more than 40 mins away!
