    They will probably sleep most the way. I would feed right before you leave. then stop half way and take them out of the car seat so they can stretch and possibly eat again.

    Thanks thats kind of what I was thinking! Just needed reassurance! @ashley_smashley he is eating now and we will be leaveing soon!

    4 hours is nothing ;) I feed before we go, change diaper and GO. I don't stop unless they get fussy, which hasn't happened on a 4hr trip yet.

    I went on an 8 hr trip when she was 5 months. If they're set in a sleep schedule, I'd try to wake them to leave early in the morning, so it doesn't mess them too much.

    I took my daughter, then 4 weeks, out of state to my family, and it was a 4 hour drive. She slept the entire way. Your babe should be fine!

    For long road trips like 7-8 hours, I leave at night. That's the best and most relaxing time. :)

    I just moved from california to georgia! Baby did great and slept a good chunk of the drive.

    My husband and i took scarlett on a 16 hour road trip when she was 5 months old! She did great! Slept most of the ride (at night) then we took a 4 hour trip to wyoming a few weeks ago, she did fine!
