Car Foot Rest for Children
Stop them from kicking your chair!
This is a highly recommended item for your car for both health and sanity reasons. It is medically approved and recommended by a prestigious orthopedic surgeon as the number one travel accessory that every parent should have. The Footrest prevents kids from misbehaving by increasing their comfort as well as providing long term leg protection for their knees. It actually has stopped our kids from kicking the back of the seats in front of them (annoying and unconformable when driving).

Waterproof, Non-Slip Back Seat Protector
Keep Your Seats Clean!
How many times do you clean your back seat? I used to find crumbs, french fries and shoe footprints on the seats around the kids’ car seats; and having the car cleaned or details became costly. So, we found this to protect our car seats. It is listed as a back seat cover for dogs, but it obviously works just great for messy children! It is a universal fit with non-slip backing and machine washable. It has velcro covers for seat belt access and it is super easy to install!

Cup Holder Food Tray
have their food together, and off laps!
We used to let the kids eat their happy meals on their laps, right out of the little nuggets’ box and fries holder. And man, what a mess with the juice box and Sweet and Sour sauces! We discovered this cool food tray that fits right into their car seat’s cup-holder. Now, their food is organized and secured in front of them. There are still a little bit of mess but much more contained! It comes with various colors and it is dishwasher safe. Less mess, less stress!

Portable Drawing Case
No longer have papers & crayons all over!
Another product you must have to keep things organized (remember, less mess, less stress!) is this awesome portable drawing case from IKEA. Amazon has it too and with sales, it is actually cheaper. The case keeps papers (urgh, all of the papers and notepads in the back seat!), color pencils, crayons and sticker sheets ALL IN ONE PLACE! (You can zip it closed to prevent things from falling out) On the outside of the case, it’s a hard surface, perfect for their little laps as a hard place to draw on.

Drawing and Writing Tablets
let their creativity occupy them
Wouldn’t it be great if you can minimize the amount of scrap paper and crayons in the back seat? Well, here is a handy little LCD table that could help. We have one for each child in each car in the family (that’s why I recommend the 2-pack). This is great even on short drives to school because it keeps themselves entertained for a few minutes. They can erase and start again, or lock the screen to keep their creation. My older daughter uses it to practice her writing and math, too! The LCD screen is safe for their little eyes with no blue light and no glare! Be sure to tie the string on the pen so you don’t have to reach back for it when they drop it on the floor.
