Mommy & Toddler Travel Car Kit’s, & What to Pack!

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertisers. All opinions and comments are 100% mine, I only promote products I believe in. #Graco4Ever #CollectiveBias

Having a 5 month old and a 3 year old makes it incredibly challenging getting out the door. Most days I’m rushing to get both kids dressed, myself dressed, and then the diaper bag packed. Most days also result in me forgetting something! This is why I now have a Travel Kit for my Car. It includes everything mommy, toddler, or baby could need!

Since adding the Travel Car Kit, I also recently updated our car seat for my youngest. I wanted something that keeps up as she grows. I ended up finding the new Graco 4Ever™ 4-in-1 Car Seat at Target.

This car seat is incredibly versatile and you can use it for all 4 stages:

  1. Rear-facing for your newborn (4–40 lb)
  2. Forward-facing for your growing toddler (22–65 lb)
  3. High-back belt-positioning booster (30–100 lb)
  4. Backless belt-positioning booster (40–120 lb)

My 5 month old is perfect for Stage 1, the rear-facing position since she weighs 14lbs.

Installation is super easy and quick. Make sure to fully read the instructions to properly install. The 6-position recline offers multiple options for your little one to sit in both rear-facing and forward-facing positions. They also make it convenient to see what position is appropriate for each stage on the side of the car seat.

My 3 year old is perfect for Stage 2, the forward-facing position since she weighs about 35lbs.

Watch the entire video to get all the details on this new Graco 4Ever™ 4-in-1 Car Seat.

If you’re looking to make your own Mommy & Toddler Travel Car kit, here’s a list of items I suggest:

What to Pack- Supplies:
Hand Sanitizer
Baby Wipes
Hand Wipes
Sunblock
First Aid Kit
Tissue
Stain Wipes

What to Pack- Food:
Snacks
Juice Boxes
Apple Sauce
Water
Cheese & Crackers
Fruit Bars
Anything else you want!

You can find most items at Target along with the Graco 4Ever™ 4-in-1 Car Seat. The car seat is offered in several other colors including the Nova.

So if you’re looking for a new car seat then make sure to purchase the 4Ever 4-in-1 Car Seat from 11/27 – 12/3 to save $75.

Is there anything you recommend for your car kit? Let me know!

Enjoy!

    With how much us moms have to keep track of, this would be a HUGE help to not forget things! Last thing we need is a toddler needing a snack while on the road 🙂 #client

    I LOVED my Graco Car Seats! and yes toddlers need their own personal travel baskets to go on a road trip 😉 I love these ideas and I’m going to use some!

    It’s tough to travel with kids especially if you’re going on a road trip but with the right things prepared, you’re going to be just fine. These are all must haves when traveling with kids!

    I agree , these are indeed the basic necessities especially when traveling with toddlers.. I guess the diapers are truly important.. I had worst experience with my little brother haha and I don’t want to disclose the story but I think you can visualize the mess lol

    My 3 year old has used a convertible Graco seat similar to this one since we was 15 months old and still rear facing. I love the safety and quality of Graco for baby seats! Also, I love the car kits you have created. I need to do something like this for my kiddos.

    That’s definitely a versatile car seat. I like that the rear-facing limit is 40 lbs. I like to keep my kids rear-facing until they reach the seat limits, so that’s an important feature for me.

    This looks just like the car seat I got for my cousin. I love how it grows with them. Those car kits are perfect.

    I think that other things you might find, like in a first aid kit might be good to keep–and maybe an extra blanket and spare set of clothes. This is a great reminder for all of us to check our cars and be prepared!
