2. A game-changing car seat organizer complete with all the pockets you need to securely hold a tablet, cups, snacks, and anything else you might need on a road trip (probably just more snacks, but you do you).
Promising review: “Can't go on car rides with out this. I hate living in a city where I have to drive around 20–40 minutes to or from daycare because it is closer to work. However, this makes my daughter's rides more manageable, she watches Frozen and I get through traffic! She even places her little shoes in the big storage pocket and pacifier in the little mesh pockets.” —T. Khansari
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
3. A rhinestone steering wheel cover that'll 1) keep your steering wheel from getting hot in the sun, and 2) ensure that your car is as ~glammed~ up as you are! Plus, the stones feel so nice on your hands, it's almost like getting a lil' massage while you drive.

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in four colors)
5. A keychain car escape tool that can cut through seat belts and break car windows because, even though you hopefully never need it, it's always better to be prepared.
Promising review: "I work in the medical and rescue field and have to say this is a great product to have on your keychain. One of the concerns I had when buying this was the breakaway portion of the device itself but that was an unfounded fear. This is something that will save your life if you are ever trapped in your own vehicle as it will stay connected to your keys in the ignition which means that you will be able to reach it without a major issue. It will not easily detach without you pulling it off which means will be available where you want it when you need it. I have nothing negative to say about this and have bought one for my wife as well to have." —Aizrec!
Get it from Amazon for $10.95.

Amberand Wood Co is a small business based in Valparaiso, Indiana. They also sell candles and regular diffusers if you wanna expand their glorious scents beyond your vehicle.

Get it from Amberand Wood Co on Etsy for $9 (available in a variety of scents).

It comes with 12 felt pads, and doesn't come with oils — don't forget to grab a pack of essential oils before you check out!
Promising review: "High quality! I was not expecting such a hearty piece of hardware! Came with plenty of little pads. The clasp has a built-in magnet and a slight clip to it, so it has a good, strong hold closed. Also the clips that attach to the vent are built solid too. Beautiful designs on front. I put a few drops of oil on mine and put it in my car, and the whole car is scented! Comes in a cute little package perfect for gifts. Will be buying again for second car and as gifts! 100% recommend!" —Alaina

9. A car fridge to keep snacks, beverages, and leftovers nice and cold even when you're on the go!
Promising review: "The fridge works as advertised and is a great little addition to my car. I use it to keep small water bottles cool so my riders can be refreshed. It does its job quietly and unobtrusively. While the fridge does not keep items 'freezing cold,' it does a great job of keeping it cool (and that is exactly what it is described as doing)." —pmjglover
Get it from Amazon for $45.99+ (available in five colors)
10. A travel road kit so that if disaster strikes unexpectedly, you'll be prepared with all the emergency essentials.

Promising review: "This pack came with absolutely everything needed for a good go kit on a weekend or seasonal adventure. With everything from first aid, car jumping, and a good quality light to give you a good vantage in the nighttime when jumping cars (Montana winter/spring is dark in the evenings quite quickly), this kit has helped me out personally quite a few times. For the cost of what it is, I'm surprised at the result." —Alexander
Get it from Amazon for $42.34.
11. A seatbelt cushion that'll make being buckled in so much comfier.
12. Or a Chewbacca seatbelt cover — it's so cushy, it'll make you say "RRWWWGG!"
Promising review: "I love the comfort of this seatbelt cover as I have a pacemaker and this item provided comfort. I recommend this product for the cushion it provides AND it looks so clever on the seatbelt. The cover moves easily over the seatbelt as it is unhooked. Great idea for me and driving is no longer a struggle keeping the seatbelt pressure off my pacer.... an issue I've had since I was very young. For those without a pacemaker, this item is so cute on the seatbelt, a real conversation piece. Try it for yourself and you'll understand how much I like it." —tim sager

15. A car windshield sunshade to keep your seats and steering wheel from inflicting third-degree burns on your poor, innocent body after your car's been parked in the sun for hours.
Comes in multiple sizes (depending on your make and model) with a money-back guarantee.
Promising review: "This is super easy to use. Open and put in in the window, can't get any easier than that. My GMC Denali sits outside in the Southeastern NC sun all day and this really made a difference. When I get into my truck I can actually sit on the leather seats without being burned. It also keeps the sun off my dash which is important down here in the Southeast. I would definitely recommend it.' —Sharon
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in eight sizes).
16. Or a windshield sunshade that's a little more ~eye~ catching.
17. *OR* a Golden Girls windshield sunshade to ensure that you've got the coolest car on the block — both literally *and* figuratively.

Not only does it have comedic value (lots of laughs from people who walk by it), but it does a great job of keeping the car cooled down on those warm summer days. If you are a Golden Girls fan, you need this in your car!" —MAMALLAMA
Get it from Amazon for $25.99.

20. A leakproof trash can that easily straps to your center armrest OR around your headrest, has a rubber lid to keep trash covered, AND includes pockets for extra storage. Now the evidence of your late-night fast-food detour is out of sight and out of mind, instead of tumbling around the backseat for the next six months.
Promising review: "This fit PERFECTLY in my car and attached snugly to the back of my center console. It's easy to reach, yet not in the way for people in backseat. The size is perfect, not too small or big. The plastic side pieces are ingenious and help it keep its shape, making it easy to put trash in it. My daughter and I attached ours to the back of our center consoles and my husband to his back seat. We're all very happy with the purchase! I'm so impressed with the quality and thought that went into this. If you're in the market, don't hesitate to buy this." –Deb H
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in four colors).
21. Or a tiny trashcan – it fits right in your car's cup holder so you can stop just letting your trash fall into the mysterious, unexplored depths of your vehicle.
Promising review: "It’s ridiculous how much I love these! The push part is on a spring so it stays closed when you aren’t pushing it, and of course it perfectly fits in the cup holder of our vehicles. Pro tip: a quart-size Ziploc is the perfect size to add as a liner and fold over the top to keep the inside clean!" —Chaos Coordinator
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four colors).
22. A Drop Stop car seat gap filler that'll make sure your phone, wallet, keys, and snacks don't fall in that annoying space between your seat and middle console.
Promising reviews: "These things are amazing!! My Explorer has an abyss under the seat. If anything drops, it’s gone forever! These stay in place way better than expected. I won’t go without them ever!" — Kaci A.
"I have to admit, my expectations weren't very high. Little did I realize it would become one of my most favorite gadgets ever! I don't know if I realized just how many things went missing in my seat gap. It has really saved a lot of things from disappearing into that black hole. It was easy enough to fit into my car, and it's soft! It's just like an extension of my seat, except it fits every curve of my seat. There really isn't another product that compares to this. That's why I gave it 5 stars." —Tessa Forbes
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $24.99.
23. A really adorable set of car coasters because they'll look super cute in your cup holders while keeping them from getting all gross and sticky.

26. And finally, an expandable hanger bar for anyone who treats their backseat more like a closet-on-wheels.
Promising review: “We got this bar for a move to a new apartment 15 miles away from our old one. It was so easy just loading our already hung clothes onto this and driving it over in loads than taking everything off hangers, storing, and then having to rehang items. Since the move, we have used the bar numerous times for vacations, events, and even just to pick up dry cleaning!” —Alan Blankstein
Get it from Amazon for $26.49.
