But be careful, you don't want to see those nibbles coming back up again ...

No. 2: Bring barf bags and Band-Aids

All the bumps on the road and the curves and the hills. And did you eat chicken nuggets then go on the swirly slide?

Kids and throwing up go hand in hand. It's natural, just like how kids eat paste and like to twirl in circles endlessly.

So when you're confined in a car, be prepared. Bring barf bags. And not just one either.

There is almost nothing worse than driving for days or hours or even seconds in a car that smells like vomit. It's a flat-out trip-ruiner.

Bring some plastic bags. Kids puke a lot; it's just part of life.

And children also get scrapes and cuts. You never know when and you can't predict how, but if your child falls or gets hurt, a package of Band-Aids will offer her some relief.

And it might distract her as you continue down the road.
