You clean off and she can start again

Stop at parks ever so often to let her run off energy and stretch
Make up ziplock snack bags for trip and let her hand out snacks when time

Make a pandora list of songs for kiddos
Sing along
Or favorite music
When we go on car rides I make the kids a goodie bag with crayons. Coloring books. Stickers etc and we do a snackelbox. I got small divided boxes at harbor fright they’ve got removes bins and fill out with different snacks
Definitely consider getting a portable DVD player! I think still sells it in the electronics area. If not in store, online. I’m originally from New Orleans and currently live in St. Louis, MO. My son and I would go down once a year to visit family. We always made sure to pack the DVD player and movies. It kept him occupied for a while, but you’re driving a lot further!
Take a kids training potty. My daughter was able to use it in my hatchback.

I always drove during the night when my kids were littler cause they’d sleep most of the way
My son is a little older, but we make him a “snackle box” and give him an activity book. He’s usually great, except for the potty stops!
