June 24, 2010 - Every summer millions of Americans pile into the family car for a summer road trip. We have always had a romance with the road. But, a family road trip can quickly turn into a nightmare if you’re not prepared for cranky kids or emergencies. Take it from The Safety Mom, Alison Rhodes, who is setting out on a six-day road trip to Hershey Park and Lancaster, PA with her blended family of five kids, ranging in age from 11 to 4, one with special needs. On June 23, 2010, Alison was available for interviews live from Hershey Park in Hershey, PA to talk about the summer road trip, how to make it safe, fun and affordable! She discussed: * Packing made safe and easy – what are the “must-have” first-aid items for the car and a trip to an amusement park? Tips for packing and organizing for seven so travelling is light not loaded * Road rules – What are the booster seat rules for each child? Fun and educational travel games to keep everyone engaged. * Enjoy your stay – What are some of the safety considerations when booking a hotel? How do you choose the right vacation destination for your particular family? Can you really feed a family of seven a healthy dinner at a restaurant for under $ 50? * Germs don’t take vacations!: Alison will tell you how to make sure everyone’s safe, sane, and clean when you’re using rest stop bathrooms or cleaning cuts and scrapes at the park
