The answer is different for every child. My oldest child would get tired of each new toy after 3-5 minutes. Since my parents live 10 hours away (just under 1000km), she spent a lot of time being fussy on each trip. As she got older, her attention span got longer. At 10 months, a lot depends on the personality of the child, how well they slept, etc. Even in the worst case, it is the parents who will take the brunt of the stress, not the child. You need not worry about your grandchild. Nine out of ten times, I was pleasantly surprised at how well my children did on road trips. I have made the 10 hour trip to and from my parents' house at least 6 times with a child under one year. We also moved from Colorado to northern Michigan (approximately 20 hours in the car) when my son was 9 months old. With an adult or another child to entertain him, he was great the vast majority of the time. I have only one word of caution. Have your son and daughter-in-law do a test drive for a couple hours before the long trip. If the baby seems uncomfortable and squirms a lot, you may have them try a different car seat. Some car seats have very little cushion and do not support the baby's lower back. This can cause back problems in the future. You may want to check into a car seat that chiropractors recommend. I will be writing an article on this subject in the near future. Best of luck! This is a great question. The answer is different for every child.

I would like to know the age of the child, how young to be able to entertain them and duration of the trip. My son and daughter-in-law are going on a long trip {about 1500kilometres 1 way by car} and bubs will only be 10 months. I think it will be too much, being strapped in a car seat for such a long trip. grandma Thank you for lots of good advice.

I thought I'd share mine: My friend, the fabulous journalist and extraordinary mom, Tanya Triber just shared a great kid's CD with me.

What a nightmare to have a gate change add an extra 8 hours of transit time - especially when traveling with little ones. I hope you had enough food / diapers! Ouch!
