Mfacoy Snackle Box, 2 Pack Divided Tray w/ Lid
Pockets for snacks, drinks, books and tablets, plus a kick mat to protect the seat in front from muddy winter boots. Keeps everything the kids need within reach and the car so much tidier on long drives.

A soft blanket and neck pillow in one set, so little travellers can nap comfortably in the back seat. Packs down small and keeps everyone warm on cold winter drives.
urnexttour Travel Pillow & Blanket Set Pink
Individually wrapped bars made for kids — easy to hand back without unwrapping a big pack. Stash a box in the car for hangry moments between stops.
