The Plight of the Traveling Toddler



December 31, 2018


Starting January 1, 2019, children under the age of two years must sit in a backward-facing car seat in Illinois. That is consistent with the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines.

We used to take some seriously long car trips. I can’t imagine the mind-numbing boredom of looking only at the back of the regular seat for extended periods of time. And young kids are restless enough already. I know that there are some toys and displays that parents can set up, but those will pall quickly.


I’m glad I’m not a toddler. Or taking a long trip with one.
