How to travel with your husband when you have a kid

My husband has been driving a while and he wants me to go with him for a week but we have a 2 year old so we don't know how this would be possible.

Any ideas?

Hi Ari! I know it's kind of late. But let me shine some light on things. Trucking with toddlers isn't as bad as it seems. My husband have a 3 year old and a 1 year old we've been on the rode with him twice. The kids had a blast they really loved being able to lay on the bed while riding. We put our youngest in the car seat during the day. When it was time for her nap we swapped her with our 3 year old. Then we just kept them entertained with snacks, toys, games, etc.. to keep them awake until bedtime.That way we could ensure daddy got a good night's rest. Just bring plenty changing clothes and plastic bags for the stinkers to go in. Going to shower was a little crazy I would suggest a slim stroller too. As well as a portable female urinal, clorox wipes, baby wipes, disinfectant spray as well.Those come in handy in case you have to pee while he's driving. But be careful girlie cause it's a bumpy ride!!!
Come in handy that was

not a life for a baby. NEW

So, I'm against a small child on board. Kids don't deserve being confined to a truck 24/7. As hubby drives, (his first duty) he cannot cater to junior and his needs. He needs good sleep etc. (hubby) I know, I know, there are people who have raised a kid from birth to adulthood in a truck, it is possible, but I don't recommend it. Just my 2 cents worth. Jimmy
