A memory foam car seat cushion, since driving for hours does a lot for your booty, and not in a good way. This provides extra support to help your back, improve your posture, and can even give you an extra boost for better visibility.
An over-the-seat organizer that has pockets, pockets, and MORE POCKETS! Whether it's endless gas station candies, a large McDonald's Sprite, or some entertaining games, this has the space to keep you organized for your long journey ahead.
A car cup holder and eating tray for when you want to be *sophisticated* while eating your fast food in the parking lot of McDonald's. The large tray and cup holder (which holds up to a 40-ounce drink!) makes eating on your lap a thing of the past.
And a Saucemoto dip tray that clips onto your air vent and lets you enjoy those nugs and fries without fear of spilling bright yellow Chick-fil-A sauce on your fave heather gray sweatpants.
A floral steering wheel cover to add some darling flair to your car's interior. It's got a grippy inside liner so it'll stay in place and it'll look so cute while you ~petal~ to the medal!
A fluffy car pillow because waking up from an amazing car nap usually comes with not-so-amazing neck pain. This easily buckles behind the headrest and gives you a *proper* place for your head to rest. Neck pain? Never heard of her.
A mini car trash can so you can have a designated place for all those candy wrappers, used napkins, and whatever else usually gets tossed on the floor of your car. You can clip this onto a headrest or even some center consoles.
An herbal inhaler and oil stick that can help reduce nausea and motion sickness, all in one little pocket-sized stick. You can breathe in on one end or rub the oil on your skin from the other. Going on a family road trip means there's gonna be a lot of *breathe in, breathe out* kind of moments — and not just from the nausea of being in the car for many hours.
And, a Migrastil migraine roll-on stick made with peppermint and lavender essential oils to rub on your temples, forehead, and neck. Some reviewers say they were skeptical in the beginning but were pleasantly surprised at how well this worked to reduce their migraines and headaches.
A Brumate stainless-steel cup — your cupholders are already occupied by your energy drink and Starbucks coffee, but you can toss this in the passenger seat without fear of spilled liquids because of its leakproof seal. (😱) This keeps your drink cold for 24+ hours, and when you've got the space, this, too, will fit perfectly in your cup holder!
And, a cup holder expander so your Big Ol' Cups® (Hydros, Yetis, Stanleys, etc.) can actually fit in the cup holder area and not just roll around on the bottom of the floor or on the seat.
A set of Sanrio My Melody and Kuromi air fresheners that'll look so cute around your rearview mirror and fill your car with the sweet scent of blueberries. Even if you're doing a solo road trip, you'll at least have these besties along for the journey!
A pack of emergency disposable urinal bags for when you're on the go and you ~just gotta go~. This changes any liquid (urine, vomit, etc.) into an odorless gel-like substance and securely seals it for a mess-free disposal. One less stop at a gas station bathroom is a win in my book!
A hands-free tablet holder, which makes it feel like you've got your own personal movie theater in the backseat of your car. No need to balance all your snacks, blankets, and pillows, this holds your tablet for you and gives you a worry-free viewing experience.
A car ceiling cargo net to utilize every inch of space that you can. If you are traveling with several people (or maybe you're just an over-packer), you know that you don't have a ton of room for all the things you want to pack. And thankfully, this will still let you see outside your back window!
A retractable shade with suction cups that stick to your window so your little one can finally fall asleep (and hopefully stay asleep!) without the sun shining in their eyes. It's even got a heat indicator that turns white to let you know when the car is getting too warm!
And, an umbrella-style windshield shade for anyone who wants to come back from their lunch stop and NOT feel like they're stepping into a sauna when it's time to get back on the road.
A panoramic rearview mirror you can easily attach to your existing mirror to give you that extra-wide view when you're driving. Yes, you still need to check your blind spots over your shoulder, but this is just super helpful to see your surroundings and everyone in the backseat.
A car seat-gap organizer, because you can never have too many pockets or compartments when it comes to traveling on the road. Plus, it can help prevent your things from falling in between the car seat-gaps! Now, you don't have to go rummaging through your bag to find where your sunglasses or pack of gum are because they'll be right next to you.
Some linen car seat covers to protect your seats from any extra wear and tear, but also act as a barrier between you and the seat when it gets to be sizzling hot after being parked out in the sun.
A seatbelt shoulder pad so you can drive without having the belt dig into your neck for several hours. This easily attaches to the seatbelt and gives you some extra comfort, which is definitely a priority when it comes to being in the car for a long (or short!) amount of time.
A backseat pet protector your car really needs if you've got a shedder or just need to give your pup a nonslip surface to rest on. This attaches to the headrests and it's even waterproof! Plus, if you come to a sudden stop, your pet won't go flying into the footwell.
Or, a dog car seat so little Princess can truly be a passenger princess. This bed attaches to your headrest and has super plush cushions so your pup has the comfiest spot in the car. You've got precious cargo, baby, so get them something that keeps them safe and comfy!
Some LED interior light strips to add some colorful ambiance to your car's interior while you cross off cities and drive to your next destination. You can customize the color and the brightness for the ultimate road trip vibes.
A contoured sleep mask so you can get some shut-eye for at least some of the road trip. This blocks out 100% of light, doesn't put tight pressure on your eyes, and the adjustable straps make sure it won't fall off even if you get into one of those weird sleeping positions you do when you're in the car.
An inflatable backseat gap pad, if you've got room to spare and want to kick up your feet to turn the backseat into a full-on lounging area. You've got a lot of miles to go, so you may as well make yourself comfortable!
A car seat camera so you can keep an eye on your little one without having to crane your neck every time you're stopped at a stop light. Reviewers love how great the picture quality is on this and that it's super easy to set up.
A magnetic phone mount you can clip onto your air vent and make sure your Waze directions are at eye level. Unlike those bulky phone holders with a killer gorilla grip, this one lets you grab your phone effortlessly once you've reached your destination.
A strap-in headrest/eyemask that will help you actually enjoy your mid-carride nap since it keeps you upright and prevents any jolting that might abruptly wake you up.
Or, a bendy travel pillow for those who need a soft place for their head, because the side of the car is just not cutting it. This twists in different ways, so you can get comfortable and not wake up from your nap with a twist in your neck.
Your bestie when they see you've got them covered with a comfy seat cushion for your looonngggggg car ride:
