If you spend time in your car, you’ve probably looked around your car and wished that it had a feature that was missing. Or you’ve been driving and really could use…well, something to make that drive more convenient or make your car, its features or setup better. For example, Ladies, where do you put your purse when you get in the car? If you’re like most women, you want your purse close by so you can get your wallet when you go through the drive-through to get your lunch. But the bottom of your purse can scratch and damage your car seats over time – especially leather seats.
And what about when you drop your credit card – or a french fry – down the crack in between your seat and the console and you can’t reach it? How about when you go grocery shopping and you put your groceries in the trunk and just KNOW that by the time you get home all of the bags are going to tip over and two weeks later you will find that random item that fell out of a bag?
We’ve put together a list of products that will make you say, “Why didn’t I think of that?!” These cool car gadgets will make your next road trip better.
Bag Holder
If you’ve ever hoped for a place to hang your purse or a grocery bag, you’re in luck! This purse or bag holder converts your car’s headrest into a convenient place to hang groceries, an umbrella, purse, briefcase, diaper bag and much more. You can even swing the hook around so it’s in the front or the back of the seat. The side opening design makes it fast and easy to install and you don’t need to take apart the headrest. Each hook holds up to 18 pounds.

Wheel Desk/Table
If you spend a lot of time in your car – like almost all day – it sometimes feels like you are living in your car. That’s when a wheel desk/table comes in handy. This desk tray is a must-have if you need a mobile desk to check something on your laptop or if you want a better – and less messy way – to eat your lunch in your car. The food tray side even comes with a cup holder!

Seat Gap Filler
A car seat gap filler fits in the space between your seat and the console. It helps stop your phone, change, credit cards, french fries and other random things from falling down there – never to be seen again.
There are a variety of styles on the market. Be sure to measure the gap in your car to ensure you get one that fits your car properly.

Car Trash Bag
If you’re in your car a lot, you’re bound to have garbage – wrappers, hand wipes, napkins, papers, receipts, soda cans, etc. Instead of tossing them on your car floor, toss them in a car trash bag! There are many different designs and styles available. Most of them you can either keep in the front seat or hang on the headrest. They vary in size, capacity and installation. It’s best to pick one with a water-proof liner and one that can swing from the front to the back easily.
Trunk Organizer
A trunk organizer is the perfect way to keep your trunk neat and everything in its place. These handy storage units can hold everything from emergency supplies, extra shoes, tools, groceries, duffle bags and more. Just like most types of organization systems, there are a ton to choose from and many can be customized to fit the type of items you want to store. Be sure to measure your trunk to ensure that you pick the correct size organizer for your vehicle.

Air Mattress
If you go on overnight trips or are planning a drive across the country, you can always stop and take a break if you’re tired with an air mattress in the back of your car. Custom fit for specific vehicles, these air mattresses make it comfortable to go camping or take naps if you’re driving on long trips.

There are many different types out there. This particular one with six ports lets your kids charge their tablets or gaming devices while they’re still using them. At the same time, you can charge your phone! The cord is long enough so you can plug it into the lighter port and your passengers still have room to plug in all of their devices.

Portable Car Cooler
When you have a day or overnight trip planned, having cool beverages or food is a must. That’s why a portable car cooler is a great gadget to get! Some models are both a cooler AND a warmer. These coolers let you have food or drinks while you’re in your car so you don’t have to stop all the time for healthy snacks for the kiddos or cold drinks for yourself. With a car cooler that plugs into your 12v charger, you can keep food and beverages cold without messy ice.
