Safety & Comfort

Door Stop Alarm

As a solo traveler, this really gave me piece of mind. You’ll need a 9 volt battery. Each night I slipped in a 9 volt battery, switched it on, and placed it under the door. If anyone tried to come in, the alarm would go off. Hint: Each morning I removed the battery. I didn’t want it randomly going off while I was driving down a highway.

First Aid Kit

This just goes without saying. Honestly, everyone should have one of these in their car just for everyday life stuff.

Car Seat Gap Filler

Where has this been my entire life? The only thing I store in my gap filler are the crumbs from my snacks! This is a must for anyone who has ever eaten in their car.

Chemical Guys Bug, Sap, Tar Remover

I definitely had a dead bug collection going, but this sure did make car clean up so much easier!

One thing I didn’t get that I had looked into was some sort of car seat organizer for the front passenger seat.  I looked at a couple of different options but ultimately decided against it. I’m not sure why, but I will likely get this one or this one for the next road trip.

Apparel

Forever Chasing Sunsets shirt

Because who can resist a cute graphic tee? Especially when you have sunset at Arches National Park on your to-do-list.

Cute PJs

I didn’t necessarily get these super cute pajamas for my road trip, but they’re so comfy and fun I had to pack them. There are a lot of patterns to choose from. I also got the light blue with dog face ones. Check out all your options here.
