Because we, as moms, spend a lot of time chauffeuring our children around, we often feel as though we live out of our cars. As a result, our vehicles are cluttered with various necessities that are difficult to find amongst the mess. Here are some ideas on how to clean and organize your car in order to make life on the road more bearable.
• Use collapsible trunk storage bins to organize emergency kit items as well as sports equipment for your kids. They hold things in place and transport easily.
• Have small trash bags on hand and within reach for used juice boxes, snacks, trash, and even wet kid’s clothes.
• If you have an infant or toddler, keep an emergency diaper bag stocked with diapers, wipes, an extra outfit, a juice box, formula and bottles or nursing needs, and children’s Tylenol in your car.
• Invest in a backseat organizer designed with older kids in mind. They can hold everything from juice boxes and healthy snacks to CD players and small games.
• Pre-pack a bag for each activity your child participates in regularly and have it in the vehicle.
• Designate a few toys special “car toys” that stay in a small tote bag beneath your child’s car seat.
• Instead of carrying a big roll of paper towels in your vehicle, take advantage of products that absorb spills and removes stains, and clip to your dash board or backseat pocket.
• Stash menus from the top three area restaurants in the glove box for calling in orders on the go on those days when carpools or work leave you no time to cook.
• Keep a small booklet in your glove box that can hold your owner’s manual, registration and proof of insurance inside of it, as well as any emergency contact numbers you may need. Hide a small amount of cash in it as well to have on-hand if needed.
