Lauren’s first item is a simple grabber. “You should really keep a grabber so that whoever’s in the passenger seat can pass things back to the kids way in the third row,” she says in the video.

Her second item is a roll of standard trash bags. “We keep this roll of bags in the car in case we ever have a carsick kiddo who might need one,” Lauren says.

The third item is one not many people might have heard of: an UnbuckleMe. “And an UnbuckleMe makes it easy for my 3-year-old in the third row to unbuckle herself,” the TikTok mom explains.

‘This is genius!’

Parents everywhere are loving Lauren’s simple but clever car hacks.

“I was just saying to my husband a couple hours ago how I need a grabber for the car. So many lost Hot Wheels,” one mom commented. “This is genius!” another parent added.

Some parents had suggestions to expand on Lauren’s hacks. “I always keep ‘barfy bags’ in the car. When I run low, I’ll ask the doctor or urgent care for a couple. They don’t leak,” one parent wrote. Another added, “You forgot the wipes. They are essential for any and every mess.”

And the best part? All of Lauren’s suggestions can easily be found on Amazon (like the UnbuckleMe), or at your local store!

Driving with kids might never be a simple task, but with brilliant car hacks like these, it might just get a little easier!
