According to new research.
The survey at 2,000 North -American parents with children under 13 asked respondents about the best and worse ages to go on a road trip with their children.
When asked why it was the worst age, the main reason of the parents was because their little ones are easily bored (46%).
Others said that this was the worst age because their three and a half years of three and a half will launch a car (39%) and do not enjoy the trampling at this age (31%).
And 55% of parents intentionally avoided traveling with their son to certain times because of the difficulty they thought it would be.
Commissioned by Good2grow ahead of his campaign on the road and carried out by Talker Research, the survey found that, while 3 and a half stated as the hardest journey with the road, it was found that the 6 years were the easiest.
Regardless of their age, parents said that seven hours is the cut: this is the maximum time that they are comfortable with a child under the age of 13.
In these seven hours, parents are likely to listen to “We are already there?” 22 times (3.2 times per hour), experience 18 brothers fights (2.6 per hour) and treat with 14 toners (2 per hour) in the car.
It may not be a surprise, then, that 59% of the parents surveyed said that the road crew is “a bit” or “very” stressful.
“Traveling with young children is not always easy, but our research shows that 93% of parents still find road trips to be a fun and memorable experience,” said VP Good2grow of the Marketing Brand Edzra Gibson. “With our annual road campaign, we want to help remove the mess and stress of family trips, so there is more space for smiles, laughter and connection for both children and parents.”
Parents said the stressful parts of a road trip are preparation and packaging (46%), keeping their son entertained throughout the trip (36%) and their own impulse (36%).
The first way parents reduce this stress? Giving snacks to their children to help them occupy them (53%).
He was followed to have pre-carved and prepared television programs or programs for the car (52%), as well as giving their children’s toys to help keep them occupied (47%).
When it comes to appetizers who want to give their children, parents seek snacks that should not be refrigerated (56%), which are not wrapped (51%) and easy to share (51%), potentially to help prevent any additional siblings disagreement.
It also prioritizes snacks that are presented in various flavors (44%) and “better snacks for you” (i.e. not spam) (32%)
“The snacks and drinks of the children are an everyday gift that helps families enjoy gentle and melting travel,” said Gibson. “This summer, families can travel the additional mile with our options without a mess with reusable containers, with taste and fun to gain maximum value in each adventure.”
Main tips for parents who make summer road trips with their children, depending on the results of the survey –
- Packing many snacks
- Ensure -You are films, television programs and toys to entertain your child
- Choose a destination to five hours or so away from home to help secure the “perfect” trip
- Regardless of length, make regular stops along the way to get out of the car
- Be somewhat flexible with the rules, maybe give more screen time to help you make a fluid trip
