Traveling with children would not be so tedious, if not for the time spent on the road. Of all modes of transport, the bus is the least suitable for trips with kids because of the limited space, the need is constantly in a sitting position, infrequent stops and so on. But there are such routes when you can not do without it. If the trip is inevitable, you need to prepare for it in advance and learn the basic rules and recommendations for transporting children on the bus.

So, do not move around the cabin while driving, make noise, scream, litter, play music and interactive games.
If there is a possibility, then it is necessary to guess the time of the trip so that it falls on late evening or night, then the probability that the child will be sleeping at the same time will significantly increase, and, accordingly, will make the journey easier.

A great idea than taking the kids on the bus is to prepare a bag with surprises. Collect in it various trifles, which the kid did not come across before on eyes - small toys, beads, buttons, seashells and so on in the measure of imagination. Trekking "treasure" and playing with them will be of interest and will take a lot of time.
In addition, you can think about simple games on the bus with children - for example, counting gas stations from one settlement to another, looking for cars of a certain color. For children younger are suitable for the familiar "Ladushki" and finger games.
