What to look for in family car gear

01Backseat organizers should clear the front seat recline range.
02Trash cans need leak-proof linings — wet trash is the real enemy.
03Tablet holders must rotate and lock; cheap ones sag mid-trip.
04Choose wipe-clean fabrics — kids will test them eventually.
05Avoid anything that blocks rear vents or car seat tethers.
06Look for storage that doesn't require disassembly to clean.
