Aiden has gotten bored of the toys I have in the car for him. So I need to find him some new ones. He has hot wheel cars, trucks books, leap frog books and reader, etc. but is no longer satisifed with a single one of those toys. What does your 3 year old like to play with in the car?

    InnoTab - it is a touchpad (think Ipad) for kids made by Vtech - catwm84 turned me onto it for Maggie. You can store videos on it,, pictures, games, etc. We love it! Maggie got it right before she turned 2 and she can use all the features on it with ease. I love long car rides and Maggie is learning to enjoy them too this helps keep her entertained.

    I am not big on her watching tv or playing video games so this is the exception to those things.

    at 3 we started playing "I spy" in the car :) or us task him with finding a yellow car, or a motorcycle, or palm tree :)

    we don't really have toys in the car unless we're going on a long car ride (3+ hours)

    Shiloh's Leap Frog Scribble & Write was a long time favorite. Other toys are hit and miss at random. Stuffed animals, Little People, hot wheels, guitar, action figures, books, any piece of paper (lol). Things go out to the car and stay for however long they hold her interest, then come back in the house.

    With 3 of them crammed back there we don't do car toys anymore. They entertain (yeah right) each other. Even when it is just Kate and I, this has made me realize she doesn't need to be entertained 24/7 by anything other than her own thoughts. The occassional exception is library books they just took out.

    At 2 we are with Shanny on this, no need for entertainment....we "sing" to her music...mostly anything Laurie Berkner...but our rides are never longer than 30 minutes. Occassionally, she will grab a toy as we're headed out the door and its almost always one of those magna doodle toys which is her fave at the moment.

    They have a few of those toys in the car. I don't really care to much to entertain them because they will argue over who has what toy & God forbid a toy drops which I refuse to get. I don't mind them bringing some though. I don't keep them in the car but they often carry what's in their hand.
    I also don't see the need for anything fanicer then a book, toy car ect. Except if it was a VERY long trip I may let them play a game on my phone. We play I-spy a ton! We race cars well Z thinks so & it's only ever with the car behind me. When R is bigger I may get the lap trays for art stuff. Other then that they can be creative & have fun.
    If they whine I just blast - You can't always get what you want. Yep preset to # 57.
