Rent a car seat if you're traveling with a child on your Maui vacation
Safety should always come first! Get a car seat if you travel to Maui with a child. You can always rent one at your destination, so there's no need to carry this bulky item from home. Just don't forget to book one in time for your road trip.
Check your car rental before you set off to leave for your road trip around Maui
Make sure to check that everything in your car works perfectly. See if your breaks and lights function properly, make sure you have a first aid kit on you and so on. All in all, don't leave anything to chance and make sure you're all safe before you leave.
Plan pit stops along the way so you and your child can stretch your legs
Traveling with the family can be a lot of fun, but if you have a small child, you may need to plan a few pit stops along the way if your little one is not used to long drives. This way, you can both stretch your legs before continuing the journey.
If possible, have an adult sit with the kids in the backseat
Maybe your kids gets hungry along the way or maybe they'll get bored. If possible, have an adult ride in the back with the children. It will help make the road trip much easier for the little ones.
Prepare games or snacks to keep the little ones occupied while on the road
Speaking of having someone sit in the backseat, make sure you're prepared to offer your kids a snack or play some games along the way. You can play "I spy with my little eye" or anything else that comes to mind to keep the kids entertained.
Listen to music or sing songs in the car on your way to your destination
If you're not keen on playing games, maybe try listening to music or sing songs with the kids on your Maui vacation.
Plan for motion sickness on your road trip on your Maui vacation
Do you or your child get car sick? No need to ruin your Maui vacation, so make sure you're prepared for a possible unfortunate event in advance.
Rent a diaper pail in case you need to change diapers along the road
Planning a road trip with your baby? Well, then you're probably need to be prepared to change a couple diapers on the way. Of course, since you can't leave a used diaper just anywhere, make sure you rent a diaper pail so you'll have a place to store "the smell".
