Back Seat Car Tips for the Long Ride

1.In order to get the kids to eat healthy snacks on the road, give them a tackle box and let them fill it up with snacks that you provide, such as raisins, pretzels, crackers, cereal, and trail mix. Have them write their name on top.

2. Pack screw top jars filled with either low fat ranch dressing on the bottom and carrot sticks on top or natural peanut butter on the bottom and celery sticks on top.

3. Hang a tote bag by one of its handles over the front seat of the car and put a rimmed sheet pan inside. The children can use the sheet pan as a tray for their food or a desk for their projects.
