Road Trip Must Haves

It’s been a bit since we’ve been on a road trip. Just reminding myself of all the things that make them go smoother and make them a little more budget friendly. 

Feeding a big fam on the road can be tricky. Pre portioned bulk snacks in these. Cause buying the individually packaged snacks is a NO for the budget. 

This one is going to be weird, well the next 2 will be weird. But seriously so handy. Unnecessary if you have a regular plug in in your vehicle already. 

I cannot tell you how handy and affordable it can be to make grilled cheese, toaster waffles, bagels etc in the car. 

And we use one (or 2) of these for many trips and some life seasons, just everyday. 

Let me tell you how we do it.  For starters, we never put the wheels on. It just stays put.  On road trips we use 1 drawer for snacks (the top, easiest to get to from back seat) 

Plastic utensils, napkins, baby wipes, paper cups and plates etc. 

one drawer for things we need access to but not to have to dig for. Inhalers, bandaids etc. first aid kit. 

The times we have been able to have 2, we made a breakfast drawer, kept the toaster in one with smaller plates. Garbage bags and other random things we needed but not every few hours. 

These were great for our kids, we grabbed ours at Hobby Lobby but these foldable ones are so much more compact! 

This upper storage is perfect for pillows, small blankets, stuffed animals. Those things they need but don’t want kicked out every time the door opens. 

And all those small pockets are perfect for these 

And these 

And my #1 must have item 

You will never catch me in a car with kids without these 🤮

Trust me. Worth it! 

I’ve got a small collection of other items that are helpful here too!
