Travel, from the corner shop to the airport

Travel with a small child goes wrong in predictable places, and almost none of them are the places people pack for.

Sleep away from home survives if the sequence survives, and the car seat is the one piece of kit with no clever workaround.

One piece so far, around 1,280 words. Every one says at the end where it came from.
