If you travel for a longer while, especially if you have kids, the car tends to become a small hurricane site, with things all over the place. The car never has enough storage space, so something like the Swing Away Driver Pouch should be considered by any good planner.

This seven-pocket tote can be hung behind the front seat headrest and can hold items from CDs and DVDs to chocolate bars, making sure neither get sat or stepped on. It’s also a good spot for your mobile phone - you might not hear it because of the road noise, but if it’s right in front of you and it lights up, it’s difficult to miss. The strap can be used to attach it to the headrest, but also as a shoulder strap for easy transport to and from the car.
