Car Travel Tips for 10 Month Old

I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to keep a ten month old a little entertained during a six hour car trip. We are going to Santa Cruz soon for a family wedding and my little guy doesn't mind short trips, but he doesn't like sitting for long periods of time. His seat belt is fine, not too tight. My older son is okay in the car since we have an SUV and he can watch movies, but the baby gets bored and starts crying to get out after a while. He is still facing the back seat, but we are thinking of turning him around (facing...

How to Survive a 13 Hour Plane Trip with a 17 Month Old??

My husband and I are flying from West coast US to Australia next month with our 17 month old son. His favorite word is down and he is NOT a cuddler!!! I am starting to collect a few ideas on how to get through this flight (plus the 2 3-hour flights on either side of it). My pediatricians only advice was to not do it... this is not an option!! We will be there for 3 weeks and then have the same flight pattern home. Has anyone been in the same spot? What about using benadryl or something to help him sleep? (mind you, I am NOT a fan of...
