Summer road trips often lead to spontaneous adventures that create fun memories for the whole family.  You never know where the day will take you or if any of your kids will ‘forget’ to wear shoes, which is why we’ve crafted the perfect summer car kit to ensure you’re always prepared for the fun that lies ahead.

Summer Essentials:

  • Sunscreen

Tip: Keep items that you use frequently in a separate basket that’s easily accessible.

Snack Bin:
