I put together this kid-friendly, mess-free summer road trip kit for kids thanks to Jif™Bars and Socialstars. All opinions are my own. #TeamJif
We spend a fair amount of time in the car in the summer: driving to Grandma’s for pool time, driving to splash pads, driving to the cabin up north.
During the longer trips I like to have a few essentials in the car to a.) help keep Bean occupied/satisfied and b.) help ensure that the car doesn’t become a disaster zone before we arrive at our destination.
I have never been so excited to purchase a backseat organizer in my life. Sounds like the punchline to a “you might be a lame adult when…” joke, right?
Really, I know this little organizer and road trip kit is going to save our lives! OK, maybe just save our sanity during road trips, but nevertheless I’m loving it!

- Baby Wipes

It’s important to stay hydrated for your summer road trip adventures, right? That’t why I always like to keep an empty water bottle on hand to fill up.
For snacks, we love the Jif™ Bars because they’re perfect for snacking on the go without being messy. I’m so done vacuuming up cracker crumbs from the back seat of my car! Moms you feel me on this, don’t you? Bean loves them because they have the creamy flavor of Jif peanut butter and the crunch of a granola bar.
Kleenex is practically an essential when you’ve got kids in the car. No-brainer.
I always like to keep hand sanitizer around in the event that we can’t get to a sink to wash our hands. I prefer to not have to use it, but it’s there in case of a germ emergency.
I’m glad I’ve replaced the messy crackers with Jif™ Bars for backseat snacking. I think my car is, too.
What’s your favorite snack for on-the-go? Have you tried Jif™ Bars yet? Are you, too, fed up with cracker crumbs getting wedged in the crevices of your car seats? Let’s chat in the comment section below!
