Any advice for taking a road trip w/ baby?

We're driving up to Cape COd w/ Alex.
I thikn we're going to leave after her last bottle, hoping she'll sleep on the way up.
Driving home however, we'll be leaving in the morning.
I guess we'll just make some stops to feed her & let her stretch a bit.
Any other suggestions????
TIA!

We do the same, try and leave after her bed time.

Also bring lots of toys for the car.

Our drive to NY in the Tahoe, we put the 3rd row seats up and folded down the 2nd row so we had sort of a play area in the car. It was half full of our stuff, but I had room to stretch my legs, change her, etc.

I sat in the back with her the whole time. She did not sleep long stretches....I think napping she did 2 hrs at the most and when we left in the middle of the night, I had to give her a bottle in the middle of the night. She'd wake up, look around, and fall back asleep--I guess because she was moving and in a sitting position instead of laying down?

When she was awake, I'd attempt to feed her if we were making bad time which was pretty messy but it worked. I had just about all her toys with us so we'd just play with them. I'd do peek a boo with a blanket or around the back of her car seat with her dolls.
