COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - eTravelWire -- SmartStops, a new road trip planning app designed specifically for families, is now available on the App Store and Google Play.

SmartStops helps parents find parks and playgrounds along their route—then clusters nearby gas stations and restaurants so families can refuel while kids burn off energy. Every pit stop becomes a mini adventure instead of a stressful scramble.

"Every parent knows the struggle of finding a decent place to stop on a long drive," said Jennie Meza, Co-founder of SmartStops. "We built this app because families deserve better than hoping the next exit has something for kids."

The app features a database of over 197,000 parks across the United States, with verified amenity information including playgrounds, restrooms, and parking. Users enter their route and SmartStops identifies optimal stopping points where family-friendly activities, food, gas, and coffee are all within reach.

Unlike most travel apps, SmartStops doesn't require a subscription—just one-time purchases starting at $5.99.
