Travel Camping Inflatable Air Mattress
This is perfect if you are going on a road trip, or even just camping in nature with your car.Â
This inflatable air mattress will easily fit in your car and will make your sleeping experience much easier and peaceful.Â
We all know how uncomfortable it is to sleep in your car, so this air mattress is definitely a great solution!
Eating/Laptop Steering Wheel Desk
Usually, a road trip includes a lot of driving.Â
And when you want to stop and eat, especially during these days of the virus going on and social distancing, you can easily eat in your car using this steering wheel desk without the experience being uncomfortable and messy!
Gel Enhanced Seat Cushion
Make your butt comfortable in a long drive with this gel enhanced seat cushion!
Kids Travel Tray for Toddler Car Seat
Traveling with kids, in a long car ride can be exhausting. Just being honest here.Â
So, make sure to keep them busy with activities in the car using this travel tray for toddler’s car seat!Â
On this tray, they can play games, draw, eat, craft – anything that can keep them busy and quiet during the drive.
Portable Car Vacuum Cleaner
A clean or dirty car can definitely affect your experience in your car during the road trip.Â
Having a portable car vacuum cleaner will help you keep your car fresh and clean during the ride.Â
If anything spills, or if your child (or yourself) got in the car with dirty shoes, you can easily vacuum the mess!
Premium Road Kit
Sh** happens, and you never know what can happen. Especially on a long drive.Â
So, be prepared and make sure you have the right equipment to help you out if you get stuck with this premium road kit!
Dog Travel Bag
Don’t forget your furry friend! If you are traveling with your dog, keep his stuff organized with this dog travel bag where you can easily store his food, bowls, toys, etc.
Dog Back Seat Cover Protector
I have two dogs, and their hair gets EVERYWHERE.
And if we are going on trips, they get excited and get covered up with sand/dirt/anything you can think of.Â
You can only imagine how my car looks after they get in.Â
So, that’s why I highly recommend getting this back seat cover protector for dogs.Â
This way your dog has the whole back seat to himself, your car doesn’t get dirty, and it’s a win-win situation for everyone.
First Aid Kit
Once again, things happen, and you want to have everything you can to make those accidents as small as possible. A first aid kit is definitely necessary for a road trip.
Lightweight Parachute Portable Hammock
If you are going camping, a protable hammock can definitely be a vibe for your trip. Hang the hammock between two trees, and enjoy laying down in nature!
Car Lumbar Support Back Cushion & Headrest Neck Pillow Kit
I don’t know about you, but even though I am young, I do have back problems. And these cushions are lifesavers in any long drive I go on.Â
And even if you don’t have back problems, it can be very uncomfortable for your back during a long drive.Â
That’s why I recommend investing in these back & neck support pillows to make your drive a little easier.
Portable Dual DVD Players
If you are traveling with kids, I think this DVD player is a must-have for long rides to keep them busy by watching their favorite movies on the go!Â
These protable dual DVD players are investment, but in my opinion, it is definitely worth it and can help you on road trips, or any other long rides you are going on.

I think this is super helpful for road trips. You can easily charge your electronics on the go, and not just one of them at a time using this 4 USB ports charger!
Inflatable Lounger Air Sofa Hammock
I always see people laying down on these on the beach. And they are so comfortable!
What I like about these air sofa hammocks, is that they are foldable, and you simply fill them with air!
If you are going camping, or just hanging out at the beach, this is the perfect solution for staying comfortable where ever you are!
