We all adore that new car scent when we pick up our brand new vehicle from the dealership, but we are also aware of how quickly that feeling can fade when we have kids. Whether you have a furry baby or a human baby, we have a list of car accessories that you will appreciate. If you want to see these accessories in action, check out my recent Instagram video.

– Portable car bin: If you’ve ever owned a Skoda, you’ll recognize the convenient door bin that comes with its vehicles. This small bin is similar to the one found in cars from the Simply Clever brand. It includes easily removable colored bags, so there’s no excuse for leaving rubbish in the car.
– Air vent phone holder: Many cars now come with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy to lose your phone in gaps or on the passenger side floor. This phone holder attaches to an air vent, making it easily accessible when getting in and out of the car.
– Two-pack car seat protectors: If you’ve ever installed baby seats in your car and found leftover snacks smudged on your new leather seats, these car seat protectors will come in handy. They have two pockets, allowing you to store toys, snacks, and juice boxes for longer road trips.
– Four headrest hooks: If you need more floor space but have too many bags, this four-pack of headrest hooks will free up additional leg and foot room for your passengers.
– White small portable vacuum: This compact vacuum fits in the drink bottle holder in your car door. It has a decent battery life and can be recharged using a USB charger, so you never have to take it out of the car.
– Velcro boot organizer: When traveling with kids, there are always toys, snacks, and knick-knacks lying around the car. This removable boot organizer helps keep everything off the floor and tidy. It’s also great for storing items like a first-aid kit and tire repair equipment.
– Rear-facing baby mirror: Child seats are now designed to allow children to stay rear-facing for longer. Having a rear-facing mirror is convenient as it allows you to see your little one through the rear-view mirror without having to turn your head. This way, you can keep your eyes facing forward and on the road.
