Our Road Trip Essentials

Organization

I grabbed one of these Air Vent Box Organizer for up front but sadly it didn't come in time.  Although I think this will be a nice little item to have always and am looking forward to getting it and trying it out!  Perfect to keep my phone and sunglasses without taking up space in the car!

How genius is this for all the kids trinkets?! This Backseat Car Caddy  has so many snaps and clicks and cubbies that I couldn't pass up getting it. The tray is so nice to set a screen or device for watching it, or for using as a table for eating!  Kynlee is pumped for this with all the different compartments for all of her goodies! 

Creative/Game Bring Alongs and Gadgets

Compact Lap Desks are so handy! Each Kid loves them. The kids still have school to do as well, so these will come in handy for car work, as well as coloring or playing games:)

Coloring supplies is something we always bring with us for any long car ride. These NEVER GIVE UP coloring books we love. And I have shared this Marker Set many many times. It is our tried and true. So handy with it being a marker holder case..

The Lap Desk is so helpful in this situation when the kiddo's want to color on a flat surface and it has a little lip that holds markers at the top so there isn't must rolling around of their markers, which is a yay for keeping things cleaner!

Draw Erase Eye Spy Game was a must! Games like this are so fun for the kids. It gets them interested in looking out the window and trying to find certain things to check off of their list.

Also Travel Bingo is super fun for the whole family!

Electronics and Sound Brings



With the amount of electronics that are being used this Power Converter is super handy.

Tate will bring along his Nintendo Switch. He loves to play hunting games on this device. It is kinda cool because it can be played like a Nintendo or it can be hooked up to a TV screen and be played that way so it has a few different features for gaming.

Ryan and I will be bringing our AirPods pros. The noise canceling feature is a game changer especially for all the hours that will be spent in a loud car. Him and I purchased the AirPod pros a couple months ago. We weren't on the AirPods train before that, we honestly just used basic ones with no need for anything different but when the noise canceling feature came out that intrigued us. Now we are hooked! We use them so much now Tate has been asking for a pair for his birthday!

These  wireless headphones are great for in the van.  They are universal so they connect to our overhead dvd player.  We like that these collapse in so they don't get stepped on if the kids don't put them up:)  They come in a pack of 4 which was perfect. That way it does matter who wears who's they are just all the same exact thing. Each headset can control their own volume which is a great feature.

Having a garbage can in the car is the #1 must have in my option. I feel like wrappers, and such are what makes the vehicle look so out of hand, so we leave this in our car all of the time. It can clip onto head rests or the arm rest of a seat. Really anywhere it can find a spot!

Our younger 2, Beckett and Ruby both have one of these Kindle Fire Tablet. We like these for the littles since we can monitor what games they put on them and they can't access the internet.   The Kindle Fire Tablet is a very affordable tablet.

Our kids get limited playing time on them throughout the day. They like to play certain games that they have on there or every now and again they will watch one of their kids shows. For road trips we download some movies so they can watch them when they want without wifi.
