We have a 3 year old and 6 month old (at time of travel). Our 3 year old has been to Disney 6 times so far but we've always flown. This time with a baby, airline costs, car seats, etc. we decided to drive. Its 14 hours for us. Our kids are amazing in the car and rarely get antsy. We travel 7 hours to the beach every summer with no issue. However, for a 14 hour trip... How many stops is "safe" to do? By that I mean, I see a lot on the 2 hour rule where kids need to be out of their car seats every 2 hours. That would make for an insanely long and painful drive. I like to drive for as long as possible without stops, just food and gas when needed. I believe our kids would be fine with that, but does anyone have any thoughts on if its safe to stay in the car seats that long? Or does anyone have experience to share?
