With the long Hari Raya Aidilfitri school break ending in a few days, families are now busy preparing for their journeys back to the city. Given the expected traffic congestion with a massive number of vehicles on the road, long travel time is almost a guarantee during this time of the year.

Long journeys are already stressful on adults, what more on young, restless children. Often, parents need to prepare in advance for their journeys to make the ride comfortable and (almost) stress-free for everyone.
