PR: TomTom says children get bored 27 minutes into family road trips

As Americans gear up for summer vacation, TomTom today shared survey results that reveal the road trip realities of 5,000 moms from around the world. An independent global study conducted by the research company Ipsos MORI in March 2012 and commissioned by TomTom found that it takes on average just 27 minutes for children to get bored on long car journeys. Of those countries surveyed, children in Australia get bored the quickest at 23 minutes while American children display a bit more patience, with boredom kicking in at 30 minutes. Children from New Zealand appear to be the most patient, and will tolerate up to 34 minutes before their patience wanes.
