Where kids are number one: tips from IAM RoadSmart
T e summer holidays are here
and many
families will be packing for success as they set off to enjoy and travel. T is week’s tips give advice on driving with children from IAM RoadSmart’s head of driving and riding standards, Richard Gladman. • Be patient. Sometimes children can drive parents potty but it is important
to remain calm and keep them entertained. Playing games whilst travelling and keeping them occupied is always a recipe for success • Make sure all their tech is working before you set off . A fl at battery on a phone can be major disaster for today’s connected kids • Pack for success. Make sure you have a food bag with goodies for the
best behaved but avoid too much sugar. Fruit and water are best. Also carry wet wipes and spare clothes that are easy to access within the car • T e right car seat will keep your child safe and comfortable. Check out the Good Egg guide http://www.

worst thing is being lost with a grumpy child in the back. Know the correct stop-off points so
you
know when you can take breaks, so the children can get out and stretch their legs • Children need regular stops – never go more than two hours without
a stop. For very young babies too long in a car seat can be stressful, so factor this in when you plan your journey • Set off early. Travelling long distances with little ones can be nightmare. If you set off early and take your time as opposed to rushing
to your
destination the journey will be miles smoother. But, remember driving when you would normally be asleep is a risk factor, so make sure you are fully awake by taking frequent breaks and sharing the driving Richard said: “A bored child
in the back seat
can be one of the biggest distractions when driving. A little planning and preparation can go a long way. Making sure your car has plenty of fuel and is fi t for the journey gives you one less thing to worry about. If you prepare for the worst then safely arriving on time will give you that holiday boost from day one. Well planned breaks can make the journey more enjoyable and oſt en tired children travel better.”
