Commuting with LO

Hi! I XP'ed this on parenting, but I think you might have better insight.

DH got a new job, yipee! But it means we have to move LO to a new daycare and I'll be commuting with him. We have a 25 minute drive, and then about 20 minutes on the subway. If you have done a daily commute with your LO, do you have any tips or tricks to keep you LO occupied and happy? I'll admit, I'm a little scared, but I don't have a choice with our new schedules.

TIA!

    That is a great suggestion! Do you happen to know how to download video onto a table so that you don't need wi-fi to watch it? I'm not to tech savy... is there an app or something?

    DD and DS are in the car about 35 minutes each way.  DH and I commute together, so we have an easier time and one of us can read or play games with him.  On days where DH and I commute separately, we sing songs or talk about the weekend.  DS is 3 and DD is 1.  If I only have DD, she generally falls asleep,

    Ds is only 1 but we commute with him everyday on the bus and subway.  Make sure you have snacks and drinks.

    Do they need to commute so they at close to you? Why not drop them off near home or halfway.

    It's not that I want him close, it's that DH and I both work in the city now and DH is going to be getting out later with his new job, so neither of us could get home in time for closing. I couldn't find a reasonable solution other than to move him to a center in the city.
