How to keep my tama from dying while on 6 hr drive???

I just got my very first tamagotchi today!! Gen 2 Starry Shower (rerelease Western Version). Knowing I would be having a 6 hr car drive coming up tomorrow I probably should have waited to start playing till after my trip, but I couldn’t help myself and hatched it anyway. So now I wanna figure out how I can make sure they don’t die or have a lot of care mistakes while I can’t take care of its needs.

I did a bit of googling and; is it true that if I edit and leave the clock unset then my tama won’t age and its needs will be paused??? Cuz I don’t know if that is accurate or if it would work for my specific model. If that wouldn’t work I have no idea what I would do since I’m not gonna pull over every time they need something.

Extra context: it’s currently in the child life stage with zero care mistakes so far (as far as I know). From what I read, in this stage they lose hunger and happiness hearts roughly every 50-60 minutes, and poop roughly every 45-60. So that plus possibly acting out when refusing to eat or asking for attention when they don’t need anything… it would be several care mistakes and possibly death if it gets sick randomly or cuz of poop.

Please help 🙏 thanks
