I hesitate to change from backpacks though because they keep everything contained without spilling. Do you have tips for preventing things getting lost in the car or while stored or out & about since the bags are open? I like your idea for keeping the bags ready to go and ONLY for the specific purpose. My boys are allowed to use the items in their back packs any time, and they get to choose what to keep in there. I need to think about how we could make your great idea work for us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-25288751976877746672013-09-26T09:56:49.655-05:002013-09-26T09:56:49.655-05:00My 3 older boys (my baby boy is still in diapers a...My 3 older boys (my baby boy is still in diapers and not walking) get a small ziplock bag with restroom "essentials". Travel roll of toilet paper, toilet seat covers, some change (in case you have to pay), and a small bottle of liquid hand soap.

My boys have bags but they never put the things back in them and then the mess stacks up.

This year it's from our home on the East Coast to Yellowstone Park. Yup. Yellowstone. A 4-day drive. We've done a mega-haul road trip for the past few summers - and it's always gone super well because I do the same thing for my children (now 10 & 11): an activity bin for each. I use plastic bins that store right under their seat. It holds a couple of chapter books; drawing supplies; magnetic board games (you can find mini-versions for car rides, like monopoly & scrabble); iPods w/earbuds; DVD's; card games (CVS & Rite-Aid type stores have great car games); a pack of trivia cards to read aloud for fun. oh, and a joke book. Sounds like a lot, but it's divided between the two. They're on auto-pilot for the whole ride. Nice. :)Carrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-61243318995951432562012-07-08T02:22:54.298-05:002012-07-08T02:22:54.298-05:00Hi Shannon!

I bought some totes from Michael's and filled with a crayon roll, a coloring book, notepad, Tag Books and Pen and a Kid Tough Camera for each of my 3 girls. Hoping it works to keep the kiddos and me sane on our outings. Where do you store the bags while waiting for the next trip?

It just sits on the back seat next to her car seat. It has an I Spy board book, a magnadoodle board, snacks that don't make crumbs, and a little stuffer animal friend. She loves it.

Then I realized why: Guess who's whole family gets car sick! Yup. I suggest that if anyone has the same problem, you add personal buckets/bowls/totes/something to your car for those unfortunate incidents. If you're anything like me, you don't hear "I don't feel so good" only a second before you know how "not so good" they feel. We have cheap big mixing bowls in our car (plastic bags don't always do so well on their own...). I do love this idea though! (But for me it will come with a rule that they have to look out the front window for thirty seconds rather frequently if they want to read or play with visual games.) I especially love the idea of wet wipes for the kids, and I might add tissues too. I also like the idea someone gave above of keeping Lysol wipes in the car.

The travel bag is a must have! I usually keep the handi-wipes in my purse though because they tend to end up all over the backseat because "the barbies need baths..." :). Each of my girls also have a DVD player of their own so we don't have fights over what movie to watch. They each got one with their christmas money.

Here's an idea I recently thought of and started using: you know that green, cylindrical, screw-top containers that "Emerald" brand nuts come in? Well, they make great containers to store "Color Wonder" markers and/or colored pencils in the car because...here's the cool part...they fit in the car's or car seat's cup holders! There are no pencil boxes sliding onto the floor if Daddy or Mommy have to brake suddenly! You can even decorate them or have the kids decorate them to their liking.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506294658016753993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-67371409687261389052011-09-27T02:40:35.267-05:002011-09-27T02:40:35.267-05:00Awesome post a great source of information regardi...Awesome post a great source of information regarding luggage bags. i likes it's which is used fabrics for bags.
