Summer is the perfect time to hit the road with your family. Whether you’re crossing state lines or heading to a national park, long drives with kids can be great—if you’re prepared. And no, you don’t need to rely on screens to keep them entertained.
With some smart planning, fun games, and vehicle prep, your trip can be memorable for all the right reasons.
1. First Things First: Tire Safety Matters
Before starting your summer adventure, check your tires. High temperatures and long distances put extra pressure on them.
Quick checklist:
- Check your tire pressure (do it in the morning when tires are cold)
- Inspect for wear or cracks
- Rotate if you haven’t in a while
- Make sure your spare is ready to go
Sailun tires are built for comfort, safety, and durability—perfect for highway driving or small-town detours. They’re a smart choice for families looking for value and peace of mind.
2. Organize Your Car Setup
Use bins or organizers to keep things tidy. Assign each kid a small tote with their own activities, snacks, and travel games.
Avoid overpacking. Leave space for legs and surprise finds along the way.
3. Screen-Free Entertainment That Works
- U.S. License Plate Game – See how many states you can spot
- Alphabet Game – Spot road signs or billboards with each letter
- Singalongs – Make a playlist with everyone’s favorite tracks
- I Spy – Classic game that never gets old
- Story Chain – Each person adds one line to a made-up story
4. Breaks Are Part of the Fun
Stop every few hours. Look for parks, diners, or quirky roadside attractions. Let the kids stretch, run, or grab a snack.
5. Stay Cool, Literally
Keep the cabin temperature comfortable. Heat affects moods—and tire pressure. Inflate to the recommended PSI and double-check it after driving in extreme heat.
