I searched for several articles and read guidelines to keep an infant with me in a safer manner. I used this Kally baby nest https://www.kallysleep.com/shop/acce...lly-baby-nest/ to carry him while going outside because I noticed it is hazardous to lock your infant in the truck when you go out. In the trucker, I was also using an infant-only car seat on the backseat with a 45-degree angle and ensure that his head is secure.Also, I placed his toys, diaper bag, clothes, medical and feeding items in truck to take better care of him.

Thank you so much for answering the question without bashing the OP. These truck drivers are depressing and act as tho bringing your kid is the worst thing you can do. I loved! And I mean loved riding with my dad when I was 8. I got to spend time riding in this huge truck and seeing all new things and places. Just me and my dad! Never once did I hate it. I’ve taken my son and wife with me across this country and they loved every moment. I was able to work and have my family with me! I didnt have to worry about them not being safe at home or missing them. She stayed up with me on long night rides. She appreciated me more than ever to see what I do when I’m away and how straining it can be. But yea We were Sight seeing and at many rest stop that were tourist stops. We got hotels at least 2 nights out the week to get out the truck a bit. Never hurt my pockets. I pretty much had a rolling stay-cation with them and they talk about it all the time asking when will we go back out with you. So it can be a wonderful experience! Those bashing him are more than likely lonely divorced drivers. You know the ones that spent all there money on a Peterbilt feeling like they own the road.
That being said umm there were things we had to figure out like bathrooms because she absolutely would not use dirty bathroom or allow my son either. So let’s just say what happens on the truck stays on the truck lol
