Keep Your Kids Entertained in Your Nissan Navara

The Nissan Navara 2019 models have demonstrated that the new Navara’s are a genuine alternative to the SUV. We now have a hard working vehicle we can use for business during the week that’s equally useful for weekend trips and holidays. As a family vehicle Navara dual cab can comfortably carry you, your family and all of your gear, but how do you keep the little ones entertained on your trip?

Exploring Australia

When you purchase a Nissan Navara in Perth, it’s not likely that you would immediately think about its utility as a weekend explorer. Getting the right vehicle is a great way to explore Australia and go off road or down to the beach. A survey of the most annoying travelling companions found that children came a close second to front seat passengers that cannot read a map. So, it makes great sense to get some entertainment options in place before you set off to protect your sanity.

Plan Some Device Free Options

We all know that kids like to play on mobile devices, but even these can get stale on a longer trip. Your children may be amazed at the amount of fun that they can have with a simple I-Spy game or a singalong. However, you can really take this concept a lot further if you put a little time and creativity into the process. How about an on the go game of bingo, a bucket list of items that need to be spotted or a photography challenge? All of these are great, but when the stakes are higher things become even more exciting. Prizes for completing certain tasks or winning games is a great way to increase engagement with your kids and get them to play and have fun. Of course, there should be consolation prizes too to make sure no-one gets left out, but having a winner should be encouraged.

Get Crafty on the Road

Kids love art and crafts, and you may be surprised at what can be achieved when you’re on the road. Of course, we’re not advocating water based paints and glitter that could ruin your Nissan Navara interior, but there are other options to explore. Get a large empty tub and fill it with coloured pencils, notebooks and colouring books. This will allow you kids to select some items to create drawings of things that they are seeing on their journey. The notebooks can be used to create a journal of the trip that will help them to remember the things that they saw.

Devices Can be Your Friend

Sometimes, your kids will just want to vegetate and play with their mobile devices. This is fine; on a longer trip everyone needs a little quiet time, and it can be a lifesaver if you’re feeling stressed. Make sure that you have a charger for every device that you’re taking to avoid running out of juice when you need that device the most.
