How to transport a mother cat and her newborn kitten when moving?

Question

My cat gave birth to a kitten yesterday but I am concerned that I am moving to a new home on Monday. I have no option but to take the cat and the kitten with me as the house we are currently in must be vacated as it is to be redecorated before the new people move in. Please can you advise me upon the best way for me to travel with my cat and her kitten which will be only four days old? The journey will take about 40 minutes but obviously I am concerned that it doesn’t affect their health. Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Female | unspayed

They should be fine to travel together in a pet carrier. I would recommend using one a little larger than you would use if it was just Celestia. You could also put them in a moving box and secure a towel over the top to prevent Celestia from trying to get out, though this isn't as secure as a pet carrier.
