As a family with 2 kids 7 and 5, we have roadtripped to over 29 states visiting 14 national parks within the past 2 years. I remember before we started taking on adventures, truly being anxious about what we would need. This list is things I loved on our long road trips, but some that we also use for weekend trips now.
My personal ebook that helps you prep for roadtripping with young children!

This baby hiking carrier was everything and MORE. It was comfortable to wear for both me at 5'4" and my husband at 6'2". It had extra pockets for diapers, wipes, snacks, waterbottles, and sunscreen. I cant recommend this product any more!!
