After the thread about embarrassing moments with kids, I'm including spare clothes for all members of the family!

I have a canvas bag with some toys for DS and a spare lovey to hand him in his seat. We keep a hooded towel on the hook in the minivan to use as a blanket/tarp in the carseat both for warmth and to catch crumbs. We also use the towel when taking him inside in the rain. We keep wipes for face and hand wiping when getting in the car, a pair of DS' shoes, and a portable car jumping kit (sooo much better than just having jumper cables). We keep rice cakes and mum mums in the car for carseat snacks and a straw cup for water. In the winter I also keep a few clementines in the cup holder - its easy to just peel and hand him something to nosh on and he gets a little vitamin C.

I should probably get a first aid kit in there too. Spare outfits and diapers and all that live in his diaper bag.

Garbage bag and a towel you don't care about (car sickness)
Umbrella

I'm a biologist who has done tons of work in the field out of my car and my husband is a coach of multiple kids teams. Years of making due in weird situations have left us with this list. We have used ourselves/loaned to someone in need every single one of these:
Screwdriver (one with multiple heads)
Roll of duct tape
Sharpie
Waiter-style cork screw (you have NO IDEA how many times I've used this, including the teeny tiny "knife" for the foil)
At least 1 old towel (we have 2)
1 or 2 plastic trash bags that don't have holes (for car sickness)
4-5 paper towels folded up
waterproof tarp
umbrella in the glove compartment
small flashlight
