How often should you stop with your kids on a road trip?
Gilboa suggests that you plan on stopping about every two hours. How long you can drive really depends on your kids' dispositions, but ideally you'll stop every two to three hours so everyone can get out of the car, stretch their legs and have something to eat. Think beyond rest stops.
