Keep Kids Busy on Summer Road Trips: Fun Challenges, Magnetic Games & Baby Toys (#7)

As a parent who's endured countless 'Are we there yet?' choruses, I've tested road trip savers that truly work. Last year, we rocked Carmen Campagne sing-alongs ('I'm going to the étaaaable pour tiiiiiirer ma vaaaache'), Iggy Azalea lip dubs, Hunger Games audiobooks, and more. This summer, stock up on these 3 family-approved games.

1. 'When Are We Getting There?' Kit. Turn endless questions into excitement with this car-shaped challenge set for all ages. Spot objects, people, animals, road signs, vehicles, and safety features to collect cards. Example: First to spy a 'twisted, bent, or damaged road sign' scores!
