A MOBILE APP THAT HELPS PARENTS FROM "0" TO "THERE YET"

• Restless & Bored Children
• Screaming
• Crying
• Siblings Fighting
• Frequent Bathroom Stops
• Unplanned Stops
Kids will be kids. But how can parents plan for the expected and unexpected at the same time for a smoother trip? That's what I wanted to solve. I started by looking at similar apps and doing a competitive analysis.
