how do i entertain an infant while traveling by bus?

My daughter is 6 months old and we'll be moving to my home state by bus in a few weeks. It's a 36 hour trip with 4 transfers. How do i keep her entertained when she's awake? Also how do i keep her from getting too fussy as she'll be traveling mostly in her car seat? Thanks. Please keep in mind that baggage space will be limited. Also last question, how do i keep water warm for that long, or heat bottles without electricity? Thanks.

    Pack five or six new toys that she has never seen before, look out for small things like toy mobile phone, board/fabric baby books, rattles, chew toys and soft animals (this way you wont need much space to pack them. If you ration them...say one every two hours, the excitement should last a while. mabye you could wrap them like gifts! You can play games like peek a boo and this little piggy and even spend some time looking out the window together and pointing out objects.

    If you have plenty of money for the trip, you could invest in a portable dvd player and some sesame street or brainy baby dvds.

    As far as your bottles go, heat them up really hot and put them in an insulated cooler bag or wrap them in a towel, take one out about 45 minutes b4 babys feed to cool down a bit before giving them to baby.

    Lots of toys and food. The hum of the road should put her to sleep most of the time. You don't have to worry about the water. You can give babies room temp formula. Just keep bottle water or fill bottles with water and make them as needed.

    What I do on a protracted holiday is carry a clipboard and draw, play uno, pass fish, and different card video games, and play "the animal interest". you're taking turns (pass in a circle) thinking of animals that start up with an identical letter. Whoever names the main animals with out having to bypass a turn, wins. or you are able to play with electronics, like pay attention to hint, play video games, watch dvds etc. wish this facilitates
