We got all the kids headphones to reduce the noise level in
the van but it hasn’t helped.
·
7 year old sings along, off-tune, to everything
she’s watching while wearing head-phones
·
5 year old broke his head-phones in 4
weeks. He hung them on hooks in the van
and did God knows what with them.
·
3 year old can’t keep them on her head correctly
and gripes so much we just keep them in a bag so she watches movies on the
Kindle right behind us.
Someday they will all be as good as 7 year old in wearing
them so I’m dreaming of our next van upgrade which must have the following:
·
DVD player in the front of the van where parents
can control the movies and each kid has a plug in for headphones.
·
Cup holders for every child
·
At least 2 plugs for re-charging electronics
I’m sure I’ll still hear “na na nan a Na NA NA nan a na nana
aaaaaaaa” but at least they will be on one shared movie system.
Our current entertainment options include:
·
MobiGo2 – two with one cartridge that is shared
(with a timer that mom sets)
·
Old iPhones with Bugs & Buttons and Angry
Birds – two
·
Kindle – with movies and games
These get passed around until they die. I bring extra batteries for the MobiGo’s but
I’m not equipped to keep everyone’s electronics plugged in at the moment. So sorry for the inconvenience kids, we will
do our best to get you guys fully charged at all times on the entire road trip,
even if it kills us J
