When it comes to holiday travel, getting there is rarely half the fun. Not when you’re dealing with heavy luggage, winter driving, crowded roads and airports, security checks—and frustrated, bored, overstimulated children.
Our BridgingApps for Traveling Over the Holidays list can help. It’s full of digital activities to keep the kids occupied, defusing complaints and potential meltdowns.
