Keeping your car packed … just in case

By Whitney

By Whitney

Is your car a diaper bag on wheels? Mine is. Packed with toys, snacks, and changes of clothing, my cluttered car gives me peace of mind: if I’m within walking distance of my car, I will never be stuck with wet or hungry kids.

Below the center console, I hide bags of pretzels and banana chips that I can dole out as needed. Tucked into the back pockets of the front seats are diapers, books, and drawing materials. And that storage pocket inside the door that was used for maps back in the old days? Well, with a GPS on one’s dashboard, that space can now be dedicated to packages of wipes, hand sanitizer, and paper towels.

In the glove compartment, I keep a small first aid kit. In the trunk, an emergency car kit with jumper cables, flares, and more first aid supplies. And hidden in the spare tire compartment, more energy bars, in case of a serious stranding situation.
What’s in your car?
