We are leaving very early on Monday for a 3.5 hour trip to Newcastle, it is too early for breakfast for the kids, but I dont really want to spend money that I cant afford on maccas etc. So I was after ideas for munchies for the trip that wont create and big mess in the car. Any ideas?

Quite honestly I would just whip up some vegemite sandwiches and have a couple of pieces of fruit on hand.

If you take a plastic bag for rubbish things fruit should be fine. Sandwiches would be filling as well and can be made the night before. Maybe some chips or crackers, or a bag of party mix lollies as a treat? And water bottles, obviously. Just like you'd pack school lunches really!

Fruit and sandwiches sound ideal. Stay away from too much liquid too. 3.5 hours isn't very long, so should more than suffice.

Fruit, cheese and crackers and sandwhiches in small containers. Waterbottles. Don't forget some wipes and a plastic bag for the rubbish.

Ask me about my cats
Banana and peanut butter sandwiches (I don't think your kids have allergies do they?). Apples. Some water, but not too much or you'll be stopping for the toilet every half an hour. eta: I also used to do a lot of long distance driving (syd-melb) and I would take vegetarian sushi rolls, in a small esky-thing to keep them cool. Very easy to eat, healthy and filling, minimal mess. This post has been edited by ಠ_ಠ: 06/04/2012, 03:18 PM

We do pretty regular trips of close to that time starting at about 6am. The kids normally take snaplock bags of sultana buds or milo duos(dry cereal) bananas apple or orange juice in pop top bottles plain premium crackers or apple & cinnamon rice cakes pop top bottles of water

I would just do sandwiches and fruit. A banana each, a sandwich and a boxed juice isn't messy and is pretty easy.
