Mum shares £4 hack to keep children entertained on a long car trip

It’s well known that children can get restless while in the car, and need continuous entertainment to help pass the time, which can be difficult for any parent trying to drive and navigate. Research showed that almost 15% of drivers admitted to suffering a major crash as a result of being distracted by young children.

Mum of two, Emma Roberts (@organisedbyem) has taken to TikTok to share her foolproof plan to make journeys more entertaining for little ones, and safer for the driver. Her TikTok video on the hack, which has been viewed more than 14.5k times, shows how she creates ‘activity packs’ for both children, designed to ensure they have a range of things to do during the journey, while also giving them responsibility over what they do and when.

The packs generally include a mix of healthy snacks, treats and small gifts or activities to keep them entertained. Scrap Car Comparison spoke with Emma to find out more.
