A Drop Stop car seat gap filler so you won’t keep losing your phone or coins in that pesky little gap between your car seat and the center console.
Walmart
Promising review: “This is one of those ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ products. It solves a problem that everyone with a car has had: items dropped between the seats and center console. I bought two of these at a brick-and-mortar Walmart and was so happy, I ordered another eight sets for each car in the (extended) family online. Four sets have been installed so far in different model cars and each works perfectly.” –WalmartCustomer
Price: $12.88

The shades slides down and goes up with a push of a button. The mesh is really see-through but still able to shade so my kids can look out the car window.” –Farm

7.
A gel and memory foam seat cushion to keep your lower back feeling great even after long road trips.
Walmart
Promising review: “This seat cushion gives awesome support to my back! The addition of the gel in the middle makes it remain comfortable for hours at a time. It is lightweight and portable which I like because I take it with me in the car and it makes traveling much more enjoyable because my back does not get sore, even on longer trips. The foam quickly conforms to my back and cradles it, alleviating the discomfort I normally have when driving or riding in the backseat.” –Cletso

9.
Or this cellphone mounting kit with a suction cup, which means you can easily move it between cars. The versatility of this mount is unreal: you can attach to your window, your vents, or even place it in your cup holder.
Walmart
Promising review: “I really like this thing. It’s sturdy and well-made. It really sticks to the window. I have other devices that mount on the window but they fall off a lot. This product has never fallen off. I don’t care for vent mounts because I like to have the device in front of me so I don’t have to look away from the road but for this review I tried the vent mount. The vent mount worked just fine and kept my device in place. The biggest plus for me was how well it sticks to the window. Most products like this that I have had you can hit the release lever and they pop right off of the window. With this product you have to actually put a little effort into taking it off the window. I would definitely recommend this product.” –LD
Price: $16.97
10.
A power inverter that lets you charge multiple devices in your car at the same time. You can even plug your laptop charger into the AC plug on this device.
Walmart
Promising review: “I have found myself in need of an AC outlet in my car on many occasions. There have been multiple times after leaving work where I need to do one last minute thing but I’m not home. Every time that happens I find myself racing against the clock to get it done before the battery runs out. I tested this adapter in my car with my laptop and it started charging right away. So that was test number one. Number two test was to inflate a bed that we wanted to use on our next camping trip and I had my doubts but it worked with no problems and the bed inflated at the same speed with blown fuses in my car. I keep this inverter in my trunk because it’s so small and easy to keep handy when needed.” –dru1313
Price: $29.77

12.
Adorable strap covers that look like foxes to make the often irritating car seat straps way more comfortable for your little one.
Walmart
Promising review: “I received our Goldbug Strap Cover Fox a few weeks ago. Goldbugs Fox Strap Covers are so cute; we just love the Fox design. They are super soft and the Velcro makes them simple to install because they wrap around the strap. I have only washed them once, but they did great in the machine. I highly recommend the Goldbug Strap Cover Fox.” –treky999
Price: $4.86

A heated seat cushion to keep your backside warm even if it’s below freezing outside. It has two heat settings so you can adjust how toasty you want to feel.
Walmart
Promising review: “I am so grateful for this heated seat cushion! I park outdoors and in the winter is it cold out there and frequently I have to scrape frost, ice or snow off before I can drive. Getting in and within a minute this seat is warm and feels so good. The heat in the truck takes a little longer to come on, but there is nothing like having heat right on your body. I am so glad I found this! And what a terrific value!! Highly recommended.” –sunny
Price: $23.55

Or this tiny handheld rechargeable vacuum that’lll clean up all of those tiny little crumbs that accumulate in the car, like that Goldfish cracker your daughter just smashed to smithereens.
Walmart
Promising review: “This tiny handheld vacuum really surprised me. I have tried several hand held vacuums that did not live up to their expectations. After a good USB charge it worked amazing. The brush and crevice tool helped me get into the smallest spots. My son’s car seat proved it all. Not a crumb left in his seat! The HEPA filter traps all the dust and doesn’t push it back into my car. I would highly recommend this tiny vacuum.” –Teacherof28
Price: $34.99 (originally $49.99)
17.
A mirror to place on the headrest of your backseat so you can see what your baby’s up to as they coo and laugh in their backward-facing carseat.

An inflatable car mattress with an air pump to make car naps on road trips 10 times more comfortable. It’s also great for camping trips when you just don’t want to sleep on the ground.
Walmart
Promising review: “I thought this was a gizmo product, but since I only paid $25, I thought I’d give it a try. Once filled, I found the mattress fit the back seat well. My original concern was that the part of the mattress that sits in the foot wells of the backseat area would just collapse. It did not. I weigh 275 lbs and it held me up securely. Tip: You can move your front seats forward or back to prop the front mattress angle up or down, slightly. Filling the mattress with air was fast and easy.” –Redeyedog
Price: $25

Walmart
Promising review: “I have had a few different brands of these over the years. The Resqme has to be my favorite! Luckily, I have never had the need to use any quick escape tool. Simply knowing I have it is good enough for me. The Resqme is definitely the lightest, most compact quick escape tool I have ever had. It even comes with its own keychain so you’ll always have it in your car, exactly where it’s needed. I love the simple yet effective design, it doesn’t add much bulk or weight to my keys.” –Maggie

After a couple times using this product, my old beat up Camaro seats were ‘like new,’ they looked amazing! Thank you Armor All.” –DMFA
Price: $5.64

An auto safety kit – it comes with jumper cables, a tow strap, a flashlight, gloves, a rain poncho, and first aid equipment so you are truly prepared for any and every problem you might face on the road.
Walmart
Promising review: “Great little auto safety kit to put in your kiddos cars. I bought three of these as I have two nephews and a niece starting college this fall, and with them traveling to school, I wanted them to have in case of emergencies. I did also purchase an extra headlamp and threw it in there, but for the price, you get quite a bit of items, but most importantly the jumper cables itself will be worth the kit in addition to the strap.” –KDFortWorth
