This V Tech lamb has been a life saver when it comes to car journeys. While putting Tiny into her carseat I turn this on to music and it distracts her. Without it, she'd cry.
I've stopped travelling as far with her in the car. I feel it's a challenging place for little ones to be. When we do have to travel to get to granma's (a two and a half hour car journey) I pack a little basket of toys and books to hand out to her.
This series of books are her favourite at the moment and especially good in the car. She really engages with the pictures and spends a lot of time looking at each one.
This keeps Tiny happy and sensing her mood I find I can anticipate frustration and distract her with these.
When Tiny does cry, I sing her favourite song '5 Little Monkeys Jumping On The Bed' and she settles.
If she doesn't I find somewhere to pull in and feed her.
How do you keep your little one happy during a car journey? What do you find works?
