I'm basically terrified of the car breaking down in the winter and freezing to death. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-the-car-stocked-with-things-for-lo#post-2612392 Sun, 28 Aug 2016 23:10:08 +0000 ALV91711 2612392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have nothing. There might be a couple toys and books from when he insists on bringing something with him. </p> <p>With winter coming, I really should get something in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-the-car-stocked-with-things-for-lo#post-2612350 Sun, 28 Aug 2016 20:53:08 +0000 Coffee-lover 2612350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I each have a small bag with extra diapers, wipes, a outfit, blanket, and a few toys.

I should put a change of clothes in there for the baby, just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-the-car-stocked-with-things-for-lo#post-2612059 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 18:29:30 +0000 winter_wonder 2612059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh and I both have plastic Ziploc bags with a few diapers, small package of wipes, outfit, and burp cloth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-the-car-stocked-with-things-for-lo#post-2612051 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 18:03:45 +0000 Andrea 2612051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did when they were babies, but never used any of it. Now I just keep a pack of wipes in there because those are always helpful! Oh, and hand sanitizer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-the-car-stocked-with-things-for-lo#post-2612033 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 17:18:23 +0000 sapphire 2612033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. We walk more than drive and our activities as well as the weather varies so much! We just keep the diaper bag well stocked but change up what it needs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-the-car-stocked-with-things-for-lo#post-2612014 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 16:07:28 +0000 Cherrybee 2612014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha!

I also keep 2 baby carriers in the car and that's it. I feel like I should put a small emergency tote with water and snacks just in case though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-the-car-stocked-with-things-for-lo#post-2611992 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 14:19:06 +0000 SweetiePie 2611992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep a diaper clutch (4-5 diapers, a blanket and wipes).<br /> An extra lovey<br /> An extra binky (but we are phasing that out now, he only gets it in the crib and car)<br /> A toy and a book</p> <p>Now that I'm listing this out, I might start keeping a cereal bar or something just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-the-car-stocked-with-things-for-lo#post-2611976 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 13:37:40 +0000 Cole 2611976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep a diaper and a travel pack of wipes and a non perishable snack. I typically restock the snack every other time I grocery shop and just leave the whole container in the car (animal crackers, mini cheese crackers, popcorn etc.) Other than that just a first aid kit, stroller and a couple of toys that are just for the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-the-car-stocked-with-things-for-lo#post-2611960 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 12:44:27 +0000 MrsF 2611960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep a "disaster bag" in each car:<br /> - change of clothes for each kid<br /> - extra underwear for DD<br /> - diapers for DS<br /> - wipes<br /> - band aids<br /> - extra gallon zip locks for messes</p> <p>Since these things are in the car and we live in the suburbs I don't carry much in my diaper bag anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-the-car-stocked-with-things-for-lo#post-2611957 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 12:42:16 +0000 twodoghouse 2611957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My car is like a tornado of diapers, wipes, books, toy cars, notebooks and crayons, snacks, hats, extra shoes, my Tula, and stale goldfish. It's sort of embarrassing, but I'm never caught without something we need! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-the-car-stocked-with-things-for-lo#post-2611950 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 12:29:45 +0000 gingerbebe 2611950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the toddler we keep a diaper bag with diapers, wipes, and a spare outfit.

It contains:<br /> Extra clothing<br /> A diaper<br /> Roll of paper towels<br /> Tissues<br /> A compact baby carrier<br /> Hand sanitizer<br /> Plastic bag</p> <p>When the weather wasn't so hot I kept extra snacks in it too. </p> <p>For extra clothing I keep a set that is next size up in the car.

I need to freshen it up, or get some type of bin to keep things in that we may need while out and about. What do you keep stocked in the car for your kids? </p>
