Because she was still waking up at night, we were packed and ready to go so we could leave after her early morning wakeup. It worked out beautifully! We left around 4am and got 3-4 hours in before she was up for the day. And, she ended up sleeping for a good part of the ride after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-car-ride-for-your-babe#post-944243 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 21:13:11 +0000 Honeybee 944243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did 16 hours straight through when DD was 2 and DS was 3 months. It wasn't bad, but we were very tired the next day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-car-ride-for-your-babe#post-944006 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 20:14:23 +0000 SugarplumsMom 944006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An hour and that includes a 30 minute stop midway. She still isn't used to her big girl carseat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-car-ride-for-your-babe#post-944005 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 20:14:13 +0000 matador84 944005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5.5 solid hours no breaks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-car-ride-for-your-babe#post-944003 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 20:14:03 +0000 yerpie110 944003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We drove 5 hours, eacy way, to Martha's Vineyard and back.

My LO would flip her sh*t if we tried to keep her restrained and in her carseat for more than an hour tops lol. She gets pissy if she has to sit anywhere for too long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-car-ride-for-your-babe#post-943235 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 18:22:59 +0000 autumnlove 943235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 hours to my parent's house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-car-ride-for-your-babe#post-943209 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 18:19:22 +0000 runsyellowlites 943209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For G it was about 9 hours when his uncle passed away (they had family land in another state where everyone got buried).</p> <p>For P it would be 2.5.... yesterday was the 2nd time &amp; she did fantastic! We got on the road at 4:30 and she stayed awake almost the whole time just looking around! I was pretty amazed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-car-ride-for-your-babe#post-943197 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 18:17:31 +0000 anewme 943197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 hours!

It actually took much longer due to stops for feeding, etc. And then we took an 8 hour flight. He did better than I could've imagined. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-car-ride-for-your-babe#post-935718 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 18:00:00 +0000 mrsjyw 935718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS turns 8 months old on Sunday, he'll be going on his first 5 hour+ car ride to Chicago tomorrow! </p>
