We've done a bunch with DD1 and just a couple with DD2.
When DD1 was 12 months we drove to Florida from Canada. She did so much better than I expected. Screentime and French fries saved the day. I also learned to appreciate the play place. Never thought I'd pick my dinner location based on which fast food joint has a playground.

We've done several 8 hour (each way) trips from NYC area to Toronto area, some smaller road trips like NYC-Rhode Island, or NYC-DC. One NYC-southern Virginia trip. And then 1 dumb NYC-middle Georgia trip. I wouldn't do that one again because it was 2 days of driving 10 hours or so each day, both ways...and it really cut into the time we spent with my family.

But LO was mostly fine through all of those--I mean, we've definitely had our moments where she wouldn't sleep in a hotel room because of the new environment, but nothing that would keep us from trying it again.

3-4 six/seven hour trips every year. A few shorter trips too. One trip with LO 1 was kinda hard with lots of crying but the other trips went well!

We regularly drive 2-3 hrs to visit family. We try to time it during nap time and they do fine. We also drove them from Illinois to Kansas and back again in a long weekend when they were 5 months old. I was dreading it, but they did awesome! I say between them and entertained them with a pile of toys (including the iPad when things got desperate).

We drive a few times year to visit my family who live 7-8 hours away. Then we drive to Toronto, about 2 hours away, often as well.
Her first was at around 8 weeks. I call my toddler my little road trip champion. She does really well in the car. Baby sister has been on one so far and did really good as well!
