I found a tip on a carseat safety board for easing leg numbness for little ones in carseats, especially on long trips. It is very simple, cheap, and safe.

Take a swim noodle with a hole through the center, measure the front width of the carseat, and cut the noodle to that length (serrated knife works great). Then simply thread a rope, ribbon, or strap through the center, put it down around the carseat base, and adjust until it's at the right height for your child.

Thats a rather cute idea. How long do they figure it takes for a child to lose feeling in their legs? I've never traveled very far between stops with young children in the car so I imagine it would have to be pretty far.

I have only taken one long trip with my girl before and we stopped every few hours so everyone could strech their legs out. Being such a long trip I would have thought we needed to stop more.

If I start getting uncomfortable then I would assume that baby is too and take a break. But this does sound like a cheap and easy way to help give them some ways to rest their legs.
