Car travel with infant

Seeking all tips and tricks for long car ride with a 10 month old! We will be utilizing screen time but the car ride is 7+ hours, so side from that and her naps, what else do you recommend? She tolerates the car fine but this will definitely be the longest drive we have done with her. TIA!

Anyone been to Costa Rica? Looking for the safest car seat option for vehicles that only have lap belts

Hi! We are going to Costa Rica with our 3 young kids for a second time and unfortunately the first time we didn’t do enough research on what kind of vehicles we’d be riding in so the kids ended up riding with no car seats at all because ours would not install 🫣 the airport to resort transfer is an hour and I’d like them to be restrained as safely as possible this time. I’m going in with the assumption that the vehicle we’ll be riding in will only have lap belts again, but I’m not sure if they’ll have tether anchors. It’s unlikely. Please give me suggestions for what to do! I was thinking ridesafer vests or the WAYB pico but you need a tether anchor for both I think :/

My kids are 2.5 (36 inches, 32 lbs) and 5.5 year old twins (40/42 inches respectively, 37ish lbs)

Also posted this in r/CPST but if you’ve done this trip I’d love some suggestions :)
