Plan around your baby’s routine
An easy step to make car travel with your little one more convenient for everyone is to plan around your child’s typical daily schedule. By sticking to their routine as closely as possible, you’ll keep them comfortable and reassured as they explore a whole new world!
- Travel during naptime: Sightseeing, driving, and even strolling can go smoother when you plan it during a window of your baby’s naps. Alternatively, if your baby relies on their cot, we’d advise scheduling your arrival at your destination in time for naptime so they can sleep uninterrupted.
- Keep feeding times in mind: Whether it’s building in extra time or planning locations to safely pull over, remember to create space to feed your baby in line with their routine.
- Choose baby-friendly, flexible stops: Quiet parks, shaded areas, and places with public seating are great for when you just need to take a minute and sit comfortably with your little one.
- Bring home comforts: Familiarise your baby with new locations by bringing their sleep cues or rituals along (sleep sack, bath time, white noise, cuddles).
Joie Car Seats
A reliable car seat is essential if you want your little one’s routine to remain as consistent as possible.
Offering a blend of security, comfort, and practicality, Joie’s i-Snug 2 Car Seat is designed for trips home from the hospital and the entire first year of new adventures. Lightweight for fuss-free solo trips and prioritising safety with rearward facing and a 3-point SoftTouch harness, stress-free car journeys are simple to achieve!

With Joie car seats, your child can rest on the way home – whether they’ve been enjoying a pushchair stroll in the park or spending their day on the monkey bars!
Make the journey comfortable
When it comes to travel, there are plenty of car seat accessories you can add to your baby car seat to keep them protected, engaged and entertained while they’re awake.
- Baby car toys: Great for tots around 12 months +, interactive car toys securely attach to the front seat, keeping your child occupied so you can focus on the road.
- Baby car safety accessories: Safety mirrors, seat belt pads, and ‘Baby on Board’ signs can help to keep you and your little one reassured and comfortable on the road.
- Car sunshades and blinds: To protect their delicate skin, it’s essential that you pick up a sun blind if you intend to drive in warmer weather.
- Snacks and drinks: No matter your child’s age, if you’re heading out on a road trip, a healthy supply of snacks and juice boxes is vital to avoid unnecessary meltdowns!
