Travel Toy Boxes

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

We were called away from home this weekend due to a family emergency and since we were taking the girls, I had to think of a way to pack enough toys and activities to keep them busy for a while. We have a relatively small car so space is always an issue, especially on long trips (anything over an hour). I have devised a way to transport enough toys for both of them AND conserve much needed space.

We use travel toy boxes. We use 20 QT. plastic tubs, which we normally use to organize toys in the bedrooms, are the perfect size to carry in the car. We allow both girls to fill the tubs with their choice of toys (with supervision). The girls get the feeling of independence and love choosing their own toys to take on toys. The tubs stack perfectly between the girl’s car seats and are easy to access.

I read that as you take along 20 bins of toys on car trips. I guess if everything gets put away, that's OK, but I'd be afraid that I'd have 20 bins of toys everywhere by the end of the trip lol My WFMW post this week is about keeping drinks cold. Have a great week! Kristin (The Goat)

That's a great idea. I use plastic tubs for tons of stuff. Our son is younger (18 mo), so we don't take as many toys when we travel (and there's only one of him), so we have been using the Pampers wipes box - you know, the one where you buy 5 packages of wipes in one box. It's cube-shaped, small, and fits on the "hump" in the floorboard of the back seat perfectly. It also works great for sippy cups, snacks, etc.
