My Favorite Toys for Toddlers in the Car

A family road trip with a toddler can be a stressful situation. Needing to drive for hours, with a very active toddler strapped into a car seat can lead to some challenging times.

But, in my experience, road trips with a toddler can be a very enjoyable way to travel as a family. Planning ahead and a selection of entertaining toys for toddlers will go a long ways towards success!

While it's not its not a toy, I love how the Kids Travel Tray contains everything you need to keep your kids occupied while traveling.

My son just loved "busy" toys like this Quiet Book by DeMoca. With a lot of cute, attached elements like zippers, buttons and buckles, my son would have played with this endlessly.

Buster Square features 6 different colorful buckles in clasp style that help toddlers build fine motor skills by teaching them how to "click" and "snap."

Ok, this is also officially a toddler toy for road trips, but it is the one piece of toddler travel gear that we never leave home without!

This magnetic puzzle game is a compact, easy-to-use puzzle that kids can play with on your family road trips. The game requires no setting up, is lots of fun to play and is adorable to look at too.
