We did it at 4 months, and it was pretty easy. At 8 months though I think it could be quite a bit more challenging b/c they don't nap as long, and are probably a lot less amused by sitting in the carseat. On car trips I tend to feed DD a lot of puffs, bring toys, and try to schedule long stretches of driving time around nap times.

Good luck!

I'd like to know, too! We're doing two days of 6 hours driving each, & our boy will be almost 9 months. The first leg will be at night, but the 2nd day will be in the morning/early afternoon.

What kind of toys would you recommend?

@ALV91711: good luck! We drove a 14 hour trip when our son was around 3 months. It actually wasn't too bad!

We drove 8 hours to the beach last summer when Chloe was 10 months old, and knew it wouldn't be easy so we broke our drive down into a two day trip. We made lots of stops, packed toys that were easily accessible, made sure to have lots of bottles/formula on handle that we're also easily accessible, and squeeze food pouches.

We drove about 6 hours and made it to our first destination, which was a hotel. She'd about had it at that point anyway.

We decided to drive home through the night, though, and left at 8pm. This way she slept through the night. It meant my husband slept the entire next day, though, to recover... But it was also much easier for us to travel!
