Bored in the car!

Does anyone have any recommendations for toys to keep my son occupied in the car. He gets bored back there I easily and all the toys I hand him end up being thrown or I have to give him endless snacks to keep him from crying. We do not do tablets or movies. The only thing that he plays with for long periods is my keys. Help! I have to make a 12 hour drive in less than a month back home for a family event.

Can someone sit in the back to play with baby?

@Haley No it’s going to be just us two this trip. I plan to make a lot of stops to let him stretch his legs but he gets so annoyed and bored after about 15 minutes of driving

Can you drive at night so he sleeps?

We just did a 12 hour drive and we split it into two days and I’m glad because I could really see he hit his limit at about 6 hours. We stopped every 2 hours which helped him reset and stretch. I was able to sit in back with him but I basically switched to a new toy or activity ever 30 minutes. 😅

Credit card, books (husband can read to him in the back), and good baby music

I bought a fine motor control booklet that has allllll the things :zippers, buttons, latches etc. she loves it. https://www.amazon.com/Guolely-Busy-Board-Montessori-Toddlers/dp/B09R2CS65Z/ref=asc_df_B09R2D4TPD?mcid=74fff6ff964a304a97c77eefec719a45&hvocijid=4303337912502201406-B09R2D4TPD-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=730312820598&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4303337912502201406&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9013299&hvtargid=pla-2281435179258&psc=1&th=1
