Summer vacation is a time for the family to travel together and explore different places. Children who worked hard the entire duration of their term look forward to unwinding and having fun with no worries about deadlines for homework and term paper. Parents who were following a routine lifestyle – waking up early and preparing for the day, taking the kids to school, going to work and doing other chores, look forward to these vacations as it is a break from all the boring routine. Seeing new places, learning about new cultures, enjoying the outdoors, helps the children have a better understanding of life. They also end up having a more holistic upbringing and are rejuvenated before they go back to their stressful life. Parents are also refreshed and can go back to their routine with renewed enthusiasm. Road trips are a good way to go on vacation. It gives the family the freedom to travel at their own pace. They can be made into a fun affair with the right planning and proper accessory in the vehicle. Listed below are a few essential car accessories for family-friendly road trips.

Trunk Organizer
Any trip that one takes requires us to stay organized. Dumping all the bags and other items in the boot is the worst way to travel as it causes a lot of stress when we have to spend time searching and sorting through the mess. Using a crate to organize all the items and compartmentalize them so that they are easy to find. Customizing the compartments used by adding or removing adjustable dividers, allows the crate to adapt to all the specific needs.

Headrest Hanger Hook
The more storage one has in the vehicle, the better. Hanger Hook helps modify the back of the car seat into an innovative easy ready to use storage place. You can hang your purse, smack bag or even a diaper bag as it is convenient to access. This reduces the concern of items getting lost or snacks being out of reach or rolling around the floorboards. Some hangers have a capacity to hold up to 18-pounds.

Lock Box
While going on road trips, many times we end up camping in secluded spots. Having a lockbox to store important documents is very important. Lockboxes are usually made with tough 16-gauge steel, and it offers plenty of secure storage to keep all the important items and documents while traveling. They also include a pick-resistant lock and it comes with two keys as well as a theft-resistant security cable to keep it wherever you choose to place it. Usually, under one of the front seats in the vehicle. It is portable, thereby allowing you to carry it with you in case you decide to spend the night at a hotel or Airbnb.

Car Seat Cushion
While going on long drives, sitting in the same car seat for hours can get painful. Using a seat cushion can change that pain into comfort. Many car cushions have a firm, thin layer of an ultra-plush foam at the top as well as a mesh layer that allows it to breathe and a molded memory foam core. This construction allows it to be supportive and comfortable without compromising its shape.

Many of the abovementioned car accessories for family-friendly road trips are one-time investments and are long-lasting products.
