If you are a mom, or anyone who drives, you know that having some sort of car kit makes your life WAY easier. I confess that this article was supposed to be written in July, buuttttt here we are in mid-September. Oops!
I wanted to share my Ultimate Toddler + Mommy Car kit that I made this summer. Dad doesn’t require much, but I added some snacks in for him as well 😉 . These items are great for year-round car riding.
I got my car tote bag from Target for $8 and it was a great investment! I love knowing that when we get in the car, we have everything we need at our disposal. It leaves me less stressed about packing for a trip to Grandma’s house or an afternoon at the park. My goal was to create a kit that would be helpful and easy if my fiancé was out with our daughter and needed something! I feel like I have to pack 100 things just to get out the house, so this a great way to keep every centralized in the car.
I even added a few “Mommy must-haves” that I always keep in the car as well. An extra pair of sunglasses, mints, chapstick and a charger is all I need to survive. Oh… and snacks of course!
Here is a breakdown of my list. Feel free to print it out if you plan on making a car kit!
