For long trips I section it off and make part of it a trash can too. It usually works pretty well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-system-for-keeping-toys-in-the-car#post-1027363 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 09:30:48 +0000 Mrsjets 1027363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rotate 1 of 4 small touch and feel books. If its a longer drive I'll add something else but it usually just the book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-system-for-keeping-toys-in-the-car#post-1027345 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 09:16:08 +0000 Sammyfab 1027345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 3-4 toys scattered along the backseat. I think whenever we switch to FF we will get some sort of hanging mesh bag.</p> <p>@looch: my son is the same way! He was flipping through a magazine on the floor in the living room this morning and I left him to clean up breakfast. I met him later in the playroom and when I went to the living room to get something the magazine was back on the ottoman! He's 17 months! Haha. I probably had a hand in teaching him this habit though :happy: . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-system-for-keeping-toys-in-the-car#post-1027288 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 08:19:14 +0000 Mrs.M57 1027288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We allow 1-2 soft toys,(1 baby doll) and usually they stay in the car. Lately if we don't have a baby doll with us wherever we go she asks for one. So there's one in each car and one in the stroller! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-system-for-keeping-toys-in-the-car#post-1027287 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 08:14:05 +0000 heffalump 1027287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: lol, if she falls asleep in the car she will only sleep 30 minutes. If she falls asleep in her bed she sleeps 2-3 hours. Plus then I'm home and can do things other then just sit in the car. I do anything to keep her awake until we are home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-system-for-keeping-toys-in-the-car#post-1027274 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 08:00:32 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1027274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: my method is: IM GOING TO BORE YOU TO SLEEP! Muahaha! Just joking:) but ultimately, he ends up falling asleep nowadays anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-system-for-keeping-toys-in-the-car#post-1027272 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 07:59:13 +0000 heffalump 1027272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: yes.... But lo is in that stage where she just throws it on the floor, she can't reach the pouches yet.</p> <p>@TurtleDoves: my lo gets bored with just one toy pretty quickly. For longer trips, and for trying to keep her awake so she'll nap good in her bed, I like variety. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-system-for-keeping-toys-in-the-car#post-1027270 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 07:57:31 +0000 Andrea 1027270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No system either because I only allow one at a time, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-system-for-keeping-toys-in-the-car#post-1027264 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 07:53:06 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1027264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No system because I only allow one at a time. It stays in his carseat when he's not in it and that's it. It's an Elmo "cell phone". at the moment. Other than that, I have a few small things (light up keys and a fabric book) in my diaper bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-system-for-keeping-toys-in-the-car#post-1027240 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 07:28:35 +0000 pastemoo 1027240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Our system is "pick them up and throw them back in the car" somewhere/anywhere. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-system-for-keeping-toys-in-the-car#post-1027236 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 07:24:38 +0000 winniebee 1027236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All over the back seat. I need to get organized, clearly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-system-for-keeping-toys-in-the-car#post-1027232 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 07:21:14 +0000 looch 1027232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a bag that has toys for the car and when we go out. It lives in front of the car seat, on the floor, and contains a magnetic drawing board, a bead maze and some building stuff. I don't want to over complicate the system, this works fine.</p> <p>eta: my son is super neat, he puts all his toys away when he's done...I didn't teach him this, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-system-for-keeping-toys-in-the-car#post-1027219 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 07:09:04 +0000 Dandelion 1027219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that DS is 6, he just brings what he chooses in the car and he takes in back in the house when we're done.</p> <p>Before, though, we'd always just have toys strewn all over. I think I'll have to come up with a better system for this next kid during toddler years.</p> <p>When I was a kid, I'd use the pouches on the back of the seats...do you have those in your car? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-system-for-keeping-toys-in-the-car#post-1027202 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 06:51:23 +0000 heffalump 1027202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a bin or container for them? Ours are all over the floor :( </p>
