Tips for a smooth outting with 2 or more kids (alone) - (mommytipsbycole)

I love that you mentioned getting the big kids in the car first! Even the most well behaved and obedient children can step into a car's path by accident and sometimes people aren't driving safely in parking lots to begin with. So important to have them in the car where you know where they are. Great video and well put together!

@candicherry1987 thanks so much hun!!! I appreciate your comment and esp for watcing! It's definitely scary out there when it comes to our kids and other moving vechicles...putting them in the car first def assures us they are safe! Thanks again!!! xoxo Nicole

Great tips. I'm totally in agreement with the older one being given tasks to help out with. They then teach the middle one how to act and everyone is happy! Well done.

I always say "I can't imagine how I'd be dealing with this trip with more than one kid" hahaha but your tips make sense. Taking a few extra minutes to plan will make all the difference. Even with ONE child these tips help! Thank You!!!

@DatDivaKase hey kerry ann!!! lol so funny about running over to hubby with the computer lol!!! having more than 1 does make traveling a little more challenging but you get used to it!!! honestly the thought of it is always scarier than actually going through it ;) believe me! i thought the same thing as you before too!!! -nicole

Great tips--even for those with only one kid! :) I would add that a simple sling that you can fold up and stuff in your diaper bag is a great thing to have--especially if you don't want to lug around the infant carrier. There are great online resources for buying or making your own. I relied on these to carry my son and it was so handy. :)

@JustMeRache thanks rache!! i had to edit out alot of stuff cuz the vid was initally 30 min long!!! lol i mentioned how i could only get around places like target with my baby in his bjorn carrier and the kids in the cart lol...those things are def must haves!!!! -nicole

Great video once again. I have an almost 2 year old boy, and am expecting another during the end of June. One tip i like to do is let my son bring a little blankee into the vehicle with him, or i keep one in the vehicle at all times. I also recommend that if you are travelling that you have an emergency kit in the vehicle & also have extra food, liquids & big blanket in the vehicle as well.

@wpgmistyh2o thanks dear! congrats on your pregnancy and i really appreciate all your sweet comments to me!!! agree with you about taking a comfort item with them too!!! it def keeps traveling more calm for them and mommy too ;) i also agree with the 1st aid kid and all the essentials in the car...you never know, and its always good to have those handy just in case for sure!! xoxo - nicole
