Want to do a family road trip in Quebec?<\/strong> Aude, William, and their 3-year-old Nell had the pleasure of discovering Quebec by converted minivan in the fall of 2024! The family was captivated by the blazing fall colours, the animals they spotted along the way, and even the northern lights that lit up their adventure. They left us, just for you, some of their best tips for living an incredible experience, stress-free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re travelling with kids and wondering whether it’s really realistic to go on a road trip with little ones, the answer is YES<\/strong>! And even more so in a converted minivan \u2014 a great way to live the vanlife<\/em> adventure without the hassle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is a converted minivan road trip perfect for kids?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A rolling hideout
<\/strong>Kids love little hideaways, cozy corners, forts… And a converted minivan is exactly that. A snug and reassuring space where they can rest, play, draw, eat, and nap between stops. You can even set up a little sleep, reading, or stuffed-animal nook in the front thanks to the baby option<\/strong> we offer with its hammock for a guaranteed cocooning vibe (you can add it when you book)! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For older kids, we recommend booking a van for 4 people; two sleep inside the van and the other two in the rooftop tent! One heads-up though: we recommend that children 5 years old and under be accompanied by an adult when sleeping in the rooftop tent.

A pace that follows your child’s lead<\/strong>
<\/strong>No need to chase a schedule: travelling by van means being able to go at your own pace. An afternoon nap in the middle of the forest, a play break by a lake, a picnic with a warm and comforting meal \u2014 it’s simpler and more fluid than tent camping. The van offers the comfort and flexibility you need to enjoy the journey, whatever the day has in store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
