Organizing With Baskets!

Personal ingenuity always triumphs over marketing. Sometimes the best travel and family products are items you may already own that can be repurposed by a thrifty and creative Mom or Dad. Even when you find the most wonderful products, travel toys and games, it doesn't do any good if you can't find them during the trip.

Purchase a small open basket or bin for each child from the Dollar Store or a discount chain. Make sure the baskets are different colors, and that they fit under the seat of the child who will use them. Place snacks, toys, books, drinks and any other items that child will use in the basket. Now each child has a place to store things they aren't using, items will be readily accessible, and it's much easier than listening to small people yelling at you for another granola bar.
