When Sprocket travels in the car I never have room for his bed, too much of my own stuff

, so I use the afghan he nests in at home and I give him one of my much worn Tshirts. I purposely wear a really big old Tshirt days and days, DON'T wash it, I know, yuck, but it helps, smells like you, baby is as happy as can be in the travel, you don't have to give them meds, every time you stop for gas they pee in a new spot just like every other little kid trying out a "new" bathroom and when you hit the drive through for food for you, a "treat" you can order is a chicken patty,costs about $1, the plain one OR a turkey patty. OMG they think they have gone to little dog heaven. This is part of the travel treats or special-ness of going to visit and give it your family member name. Like going to Gramma's or what ever. Because it is a different area, be sure your baby is up to date on meds and do flea stuff just before you go, some of our areas are awful and like mine a year around hazard, Sorry to "talk" so much but really is fun to travel, you don't stress and neither will your little one, have fun.
