Going on holiday with four kids under seven is a nightmare — what do you do in the car?

When you’ve got as many young children as I have, the prospect of going on holiday anywhere isn’t very appealing. It’s not being somewhere else that’s the problem, though there’s a risk that their sleep patterns will be disrupted. Rather, it’s getting to wherever it is you’re going. How do you keep four children under seven entertained during the journey?

This Easter we’re off to Suffolk to stay with my parents-in-law and that means a two-and-a-half-hour drive.
