Hi!

We are heading to see my hubby’s family tomorrow (baby’s first time meeting most of that side of the family!) and it’s going to be about a 15hr drive. We’ve always traveled at night because it’s less traffic and less stress, and we plan to do the same for this trip. My son is 9m tomorrow and sleeps about 10-11 hrs at night, so I’m hoping he’ll sleep most of the way. Usually when we travel it’s only a few hours so it’s never been a big deal. But this trip, we’ll be stopping periodically to stretch etc. Should we be pulling the baby out of his car seat (and therefore waking him up 😳) to stretch too?

I know it’s not good for them to be in car seats that long. But I also know some people’s babies only sleep in their car seat. I’d really like to keep him sleeping as much as possible though.

What do y’all think?
