Age 3 and a half is when children are more challenging to travel with it, according to new research.
The survey of 2,000 American parents with children under the age of 13 sought answers to the best ages – and the worst to go on a road trip with their children.
When asked why this was the worst age, the main reason for parents was because their baby is easily bored (46%).
Others said this was the worst age because their 3-year-old would throw a tantrum into the car (39%) and they do not enjoy violating the road at this age (31%).
And 55% of parents have avoided traveling with their child at certain ages because of how difficult they left it would be.
Ordered by Good2grow before their campaign on the street and carried out by Talker Research, the survey revealed that while half was defined as the most difficult journey to travel with it, age 6 was found to be easier.
Regardless of their age, parents said seven hours is cutting-this is the maximum length of time that they are comfortable on the street with a child under the age of 13.
In those seven hours, parents are likely to hear “Are we still there?” 22 times (3.2 times an hour), experience 18 sisters’ fighting (2.6 an hour) and deal with 14 tantrums (2 hours) in the car.
It is probably not surprising that 59% of parents surveyed said the road violation is “somehow” or “very” stressful.
“Traveling with young children is not always easy, but our research shows that 93% of parents still find road tips to be a fun and memory experience,” said Gibson brand marketing VP. “With our annual street campaign, we want to help get the mess and stress from the family trip – so there is more room for smiles, laughter and connections for both children and parents.”
Parents said the most stressful parts of a road trip are preparation and packaging (46%), keeping their children while traveling (36%) and the car themselves (36%).
Number one way parents reduce this stress? Giving their children’s food to help keep them occupied (53%).
This was followed by having pre-loaded and car-made television shows (52%), as well as giving their children’s toys to help keep them occupied (47%).
When it comes to the foods they want to give to their children, parents look for snacks that should not be in the refrigerator (56%), those that are messy (51%) and easy to separate (51%)-potentially to help prevent any additional sisters dispute.
They also prioritize foods that come in a variety of fragrances (44%) and “better-for-you snacks” (ie, not dump food) (32%)
“Snacks and children’s drinks are a daily treatment that helps families enjoy smooth, melting trips,” Gibson said. “This summer, households can go extra miles with our messaging options with reusable packaging, full of spicy and entertainment for maximum value in any adventure.”
The main tips for parents taking summer trips with their children, based on the results of the survey –
- Pack a lot of snacks
- Make sure there are movies, television shows and toys to keep their kids fun
- Select a five -hour destination or less away from home, to assist in the “Perfect” trip
- Regardless of the length, make regular stops along the way to get out of the car
- Be a little flexible with the rules – maybe give more time on screen to help you make it a quiet trip
