Let’s face it, as parents, we can spend many hours on the road shuttling our kids to and from school, classes, our parents' place, for a family outing etc.

And kids being kids, you can be sure that they will be clamouring for your attention when your eyes should be on the road for everyone's safety!

You would also want to keep the car interior clean and comfortable for them. So here's a list of 6 must-have car accessories that we think you would find helpful when driving with your little ones! 

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS

Driving Essentials: Must-Have Car Accessories

1. Car Phone Holder

Many of us use our phones while we drive.

Whether it’s using your phone for directions or to reply to urgent calls, a car phone mount is an essential car accessory that lets you use your phone hands-free while trying to keep your eyes on the road sans distraction from your kids.

This nifty phone holder can be mounted on your dashboard or windscreen. With its adjustable and rotatable neck, you can place it in your most comfortable line of sight.

The bottom of the grip is also designed to let you plug in your charging cable even when the phone is mounted on the holder. 

2. Car Back Seat Organiser 

Hung on the back of the front seats, this car back seat organiser is another top choice on this list of must-have car accessories in Singapore for drivers with kids.

With 8 different compartments, this car organiser lets you store your belongings neatly in different pockets.

In addition to a dining tray (useful when you have kids sitting at the back munching or watching their favourite shows), there are dedicated slots for storing water bottles, handphone, umbrella and tissue!

It also protects the back of your front seats from shoe marks left by your little ones. No wonder it's recommended by many parents! 

3. Car Tissue Storage

Eating in the car can attract unwanted pests due to food and drink spillage, and when kids touch here and there while eating inside the car.

Having tissue paper within easy reach would be a lifesaver. And to encourage your kids to use it, why not place them inside this cute animal design tissue box?

Not only is it a joyful addition to the car for the kids, it is so soft and cuddly that even adults would want to hug it!

4.   Car Seatbelt Cover

Does your kid hate to be strapped down by the seatbelt as it "eats" into their skin and clothes? If so, you need this seatbelt cover [Hyperlink].

Made of soft and velvety suede material, this seatbelt cover provides extra padding for a more comfortable ride for you and your kid.

Easy to put on and remove with velcro. And just handwash and hang it dry when it gets dirty!

5. Car Door Shades

Singapore is hot! Even parking the car under the shade can quickly turn it into an oven and make it super uninviting for adults and children alike to enter the car.

That's where car door shades come in handy! With built-in magnets on the door shade, you just need to match it to your car window and they will stay there without the need for any tape.

Besides helping to block off some heat, it also protects your little ones from scorching sun rays and provides some privacy so people cannot peer into your car.

Currently available for these models: Honda Jazz/Fit GK, Honda Jazz/Fit GE, Honda Shuttle, Honda Vezel 2014-2020 

6. Car Cleaning Cloth

When it comes to the must-have car accessories for drivers with kids, you might not necessarily think of a car cloth.

However, they have proven to be one of the essential car accessories, especially for keeping the car clean if your kids often snack inside the car or if they are allergic to dust and dirt.

Thick and absorbent, they are good for wiping away spills and for general car cleaning both inside and outside. Make cleaning a breeze for you!
