I am going to my mother`s about 16 and a 1/2 hours from me. Is it ok for me to bring him that far being that young in a car?

Our son used to sleep a lot when he was that age, now at 8 months we had to stop several times on a recent 6 hour journey as he complained a lot of being bored. You should also make sure you are taking him out and massaging him to keep the blood circulating. As you would get numb bum being in one spot for a long period of time, so will the baby. Just plan that if it normally took you that long to drive there without baby, tack on several hours to account for necessary feeding and changing stops.
