Remember -- before you had kids -- when going on a road trip was quick and easy? Well, not any more. Here's what you should bring to make the trip easier and more enjoyable for everyone:

____ Soft toys that won't harm anyone if you come to a quick stop

____ Extra pacifiers and bottle tops

____ Dramamine (for kids 2 and up)

____ Tape player with kids' music or a recording of your voice reading a story

____ Your little one's favorite blankie or teddy bear

____ Diapers or training pants (even if your child is recently toilet trained)

____ Sunglasses and sunblock

____ Healthy snacks

____ Tissues, paper towels, or baby wipes

____ Plastic storage bags for trash

____ A change of clothes for everyone in the car
