Things You Should Know

Keep your car clean, especially the inside, so it feels comfortable. Invest in a cozy sleeping bag, a pillow, and earplugs to get a good night's sleep. Find a safe and inconspicuous place to park. Try big box retailers that are open 24 hours, low-traffic streets without sidewalks, or camp sites.

A bucket seat is a car seat contoured to hold one person, distinct from a flat bench seat designed to fit multiple people. In its simplest form it contours somewhat to the human body, but may have a deep seat and exaggerated sides that partially enclose and support the body in high-performance automobiles.

Put the newborn in the center rear seating position as the baby is the most vulnerable in a crash. Put an older forward-facing child — assuming the older child is forward facing — in the center seat since rear-facing children are inherently safer in their rear-facing seat.

You can use different types of organizers to fit your needs, from collapsible, washable fabric organizers, to storage bins with lids. We suggest containers with easily-accessible pockets so you can keep seasonal items like sunscreen and bug spray at hand while you're on the go.

It's also good to know that placing a rear-facing seat in the middle with forward-facing seats in the outboards tends to maximize the use of space. That's because a forward-facing seat can usually be positioned a bit closer to the door if the vehicle seat back is contoured. Logistics matter!
