We plan on renting a car but aren't sure if it's best to base in Reykjavik and day trip (which would limit some of the things we can see but be a bit easier on the kid) or to travel around. Im leaning towards traveling around and staying multiple places but I don't want to be in the car all the time and in a new place every night. Ideally I'd like to stay 2-3 nights in a central-ish place and then day trips from there.
Any can't miss stops/destinations?

See my post #75 on p4.
Due to the package we booked through Icelandair, we were centrally located in Reykjavik, so we did day trips. We visited in Winter, so our days were shorter.
Snaefellsnes and Vik were the highlights of our trip and I would have liked to have explored those areas more.
