Your kids will love having some drive-through food while on the road. But eating burgers and fries in a car can get messy very easily.

What happens after you finish those burgers? You can do better than just throwing them on the floor.

Get a big enough tumbler and line it with a plastic bag. Then you’ll have a car-worthy rubbish bin without buying an expensive car accessory.

3. SUV tires

Roads and highways in Malaysia can get wet and littered. But don’t let that stop you from taking your families to road trips.

If it gets too crowded, it can get messy very quickly. So use rectangular laundry baskets to sort everything out neatly.

Get a sturdy box and fill it with basic tools, a torch light, plastic bags, water jugs, duct tape, cloth, and jump cables. You never know when you will need them.

6. Roof rack

When you have a big family, buying a bigger car may not be good option when you already own an SUV.

In that case, try installing a roof rack. You’ll be able to carry more luggage, and recreational extras for your kids to enjoy on your next trip.
