Travelling with 2 kids (3 & 1yr old) for 6 months in our Jayco Eagle... any tips

meant baby seat not capsule . I forgot to add that we made a sheepskin pad that fits over the seat belt button on the baby seat because our child was forever undoing the bloody thing . Wot i meant by the baby seat tilting down is that you can get them that the bottom slides forwards to give a more horizontal position so they can sleep in the seat while you are travelling . I have heard of horror stories of parents giving kids fenergon etc to put them to sleep on trips . This is child abuse and i dont agree with it one little bit .

Thanks for that. We've got a pretty well stocked first aid kit for both the kids & us (hubby is an Outdoor Edn teacher so is used to this sort of travel thankfully).
Know what you mean by the seat tilting back - very handy. And agree, fenergon is a no go!
Tass

We've got a KinderKot - it's for both inside & outside. Wasn't keen to use it outside because it is her bed for sleeping inside but to save on space I reckon we'll use it. It zips up - the only problem is she can't stand up in it but better than nothing!
Thanks

Got all 3! Wasn't keen on the DVD player to start with but I reckon it's going to save our lives...

What a great idea!! Michael

Well we'll keep you posted! Our plan is to do a few long days but mostly we have 3+ days in each spot to relax, enjoy, sightsee, etc. We know our kids don't like long trips already so will have to take it day by day.
I think the most important thing will be to be completely flexible and not stress if we don't make it to our destination some days!
Good luck.

Got it!!!

When no body is around I sing, they love it. We use to have a jolly jumper that we hung on a tree next to camper (that's if you have a tree). The oldies love it they pass by and have a chat to the baby enjoying the bounce. We also had a pop up play thingy that kept the flies out, in Darwin we put a cup of water in it and our little fella loved tipping it over and getting wet. it was washable to get rid of the dribble. Portable cot/ outside play pen was our most used item, Until they learn how to climb out that is. We have travelled around the place with three kids and since they were 3 months old. Tonka Dump trucks for the walkers boy or girl. The eldest is 9 now.
Now they understand things and enjoy the history lessons as we travel these days. The biggest thing we learned was to make sure the darlings are happy before you start setting up other wise the temper tantrums start and im not talking about the children. We also kept the bare necessities. Too much stuff hanging around is more work.
I feel sorry for kids that don't get a chance to travel its good for them.
Have a great time.
