Road Trip Tips

Travel with a face mask. Not all places will require them, but best to have a mask with you just in case.
Have sanitizing wipes in your car. Always good when eating fast food, but even better in today’s climate.
Know that you will be traveling through a diverse climate much of which is remote desert. Make sure that you have an emergency supply of water, food, and fuel at all times.
Know the local laws for car safety when traveling with children. For those under one year of age or under 20 lbs., a rear-facing car seat is required. For those ages one to five, at least 20 lbs., and less than 4’9, a front-facing car seat is required. For children ages five to seven and up to 4’9, a booster car seat is required. Older children should always wear seat belts.
Bring an extra set of car keys. You could have a long wait for a locksmith.
Leave room for spontaneity – you never know what you will come across!
