We love to go on family road trips throughout the year. During the summer, we take even more road trips to visit the beautiful lakes around our state. D has family up north in Bay City, so we visit whenever we find the time. And we also like to take the kids to a local water park that is a short road trip away. We’ve been on a few already this season and we can’t wait to go on more during these last weeks of summer. With our many family road trips, I’ve learned a few tricks that help make it a smooth (as possible) ride for all of to enjoy on the way. Here’s the three best tips to make your family road trips a smooth ride:1.) Shower Caddy for ALLTHETHINGSWhat? A shower caddy, you ask? Yep, I use a shower caddy to make different kits to make our road trips a smooth ride! I always keep a diaper caddy in the car for the times that mom brain gets the best of me and I leave my diaper bag behind at home. But, it’s even more useful during long road trips because I don’t have to dig through all of our luggage to grab a dipe/wipe. I keep extra diapers in both toddler and baby sizes, travel sized tubes of butt paste and lotion, and an extra swaddle blanket and onesies for any accidents. (Not that those ever happen in our car.)

In addition to the car services at Firestone Complete Auto Care, we like to clean out our designated family car before road trips. Because I use it every day with the kids, it can get pretty dirty between road trips. While we know that we’ll do another clean out after we get back home, it’s an easier process if we start the trip with a clean car. It also make more room for all of the things we pack from home and things we bring back from our trips.

The shower caddy is a brilliant idea!
What Jaclyn said in the comment above! I LOVE the shower caddy idea! I need one for our car, too! Thanks for sharing the idea!
Ooh I like the caddy idea. Too bad we rarely let the kids eat in the car 🤣
Oh goodness, we LOVE road trips!!! And my kids go crazy about packing for themselves! Haha. Love the caddy tip!
How fun! I agree — shower caddies for different things are necessary!
Also! cereal dispensers with plastic bags in them for trash cans.
I’m psycho and I try not to let my kids pack all by themselves because how are 24 dinosaurs and one pair of underwear going to help you during our one week vacation?
Using shower caddies is such a smart and cheap way to stay organized. We are always big on making sure the car is serviced and clean before we go too!
That shower caddy idea is brilliant!!!
Goof tips! I’ll be using these on my next road trip… Thanks 🙂
Good*
I love the caddy idea rather than pulling them from a bag
