Cars can often become one of the last frontiers as far as organizing goes,
especially for those of us who use them often, have families, or simply have a
lot of stuff we keep with us when we're on the road.
Since so many of us are practically living in our cars, it’s not surprising
that we’re using them more like second homes. And like homes, cars have a way
of getting overwhelmed by stuff — from empty coffee cups to stray CDs to kids’
toys. Below you’ll find tools to tackle car chaos problems one by one. Sure,
you have to drive — but you don’t have to be driven to distraction by car
clutter.
When you’re driving, you want to keep distractions — and distracting searches
for things you need — at a minimum. Create a system that lets you stow
essentials within easy reach and keep your frustration in low gear.
The glove compartment is a great place to start, as it tends to be a catch-all
for any bits of paper or random items that might enter the car. Try a handy
Glove Box Organizer which features room and special slots for pens, a tire
gauge, a small flashlight, maps and more. Allow it to organize all your
important documents, while fitting neatly in most glove boxes. Or use a check
organizer or other small accordion file to store registration and insurance
info, auto club information and numbers.
In addition to an accordion file, I recommend keeping in the glove compartment
a tire pressure gauge, a pen or two, a few moist towelettes, and an unmeltable
energy bar or granola bar; a Ziploc bag will keep these things together and
prevent them from migrating throughout the glove compartment.
Get your car in order with this functional
Center Console organizer. Safely
holds easy-to-reach items such as drinks, cell phones, flashlights, maps and
first aid kits. This car organizer conveniently sits between bucket seats or
on top of a truck bench. Collapsible dividers provide multiple storage
compartments for all your needs. Strong enough to stand up to everyday use by
drivers!
Keep your vehicle neat and organized with a
Auto Litter Bag - Car Trash Receptacle and Auto Organizer with a
flip top lid that keeps in odors.
Hold everything from sunglasses and maps to gum and mints, and a secret inner
compartment for hiding a wallet or other valuables. Underside grip strip and
inner weights keep the auto litterbag upright and stationary.
Try using an
Automotive Catch All for the car, truck or RV. This Neoprene bag
attaches to any air vent with a pliable fabric covered hook. Use it to hold
sunglasses, cell phones, altoids and more.
Keep the backseat or trunk of your car in order with a
Back Seat Car Organizer
car seat organizer designed with rugged construction
(including padded sides to insulate contents) and a sturdy lid that
becomes a tray for eating or playing will work best. Outside pockets,
keep snacks, books, and CD players safe from breakage and spillage.
Finally, keep your trunk in order with a trunk organizer. Again, there are
many to choose from, so you can select one that's small enough to fit in your
trunk and large enough to hold what you need. A
Cargo Organizer is convenient
for transporting groceries and holding auto accessories. Some give a choice
between one, two
or three compartments by expanding or minimizing the size of the auto
organizer. Most fold flat when not in use.
As a responsible driver, you
know not to take any chances with driving, Try doubling the viewing area and
help eliminate blind spots with a seamless, distortion-free 15 inch car
mirror. A replacement mirror which has a universal fit in vehicles, with quick
and easy clip-on installation to existing interior mirrors. Help ensure safe
and accurate lane changes without guesswork. Safely merge and exit freeways,
join traffic flow and start road departures from a quick glance. Offset visual
distortion and disorientation while reducing glare for safer night driving.
Take every precaution to ensure a safer journey for yourself, and others!
Double your trunk space and keep your gear high and dry.Waterproof Soft-Sided Car Top Carriers are made of durable, leak-proof coated vinyl material
and

Try using a
Car Clothes Bar when you need a closet on the go. Simply attach to the
garment hooks or grab handles in the back and load it up. Keep all your
clothes neat and organized--great for road reps, long trips, moving. They simply hang from grab handles or garment hooks
and can extend up to 59
inches to fit in most cars.
