Spare kid stuff in the car

[oswin]

Hi everyone. I've seen a bunch of people comment in the past that they keep a bunch of kid extras in the car, such as a couple of diapers, wipes, change of clothes, etc. I was wondering if anyone has recommendations on what to store such a kit in? My default would be a gallon ziploc, but I'm wondering if I should get like a mini-diaper bag or something.

Here's my list of what I'm thinking of keeping in car - let me know if there's something that's been really useful to you:
Diapers x3
Wipes (small pack)
Kid outfit x1
Snacks (couple of fig bars and crackers)

This is for a toddler.

I used one of those drawstring 31 bags. When they became FF, I also kept a bottle of water, bottle, and some of those single serve formula packs in there.

I use a Utility Tote from 31 Bags. It's the one useful thing I've gotten from a home party.

I leave the diaper bag in the car. It's a large cross-body bag. I use the supplies until they run out, bring the bag inside to restock it, and then put it back in the car. So I never forget it. It has:

8 diapers
Pack of travel wipes
Wet bag
Changing pad
Change of clothes (I use this a TON)
Dry snacks (usually cheddar bunnies).

I bought this from Thirty One because my cousin was selling their stuff. It's actually pretty useful.

I leave the diaper bag in the car. I have a change of clothes, a few diapers, wipes, changing pad, and i think there is a little bag of goldfish for an emergency,

I also keep his muddy buddy and some snow pants back there. You never know when you might need to stop at a playground lol. The weather here is cold and wet so I like to be prepared.

I honestly rarely use the diapers etc but the few times we have needed it I was so glad we had it.

I use those free grocery totes you get from fairs. I keep a change of clothes for each kid, some blankets, snacks, a bottle, formula packets, Diapers, wipes, and a few bottles of water. I have one in each car and they have been super useful because we are terrible planners.

Thanks everyone! I'm probably going to scrounge aroundand see what bags I already hsve that I could use.

I use a collapsible IKEA container. It fits in my tire nook.

Ditto just leaving a stocked diaper bag in the car. I would forget it if I brought it inside everyday. I usually forget it when I bring it inside a few times a year to restock as it is...

I have a bag in the car ( not the diaper bag) with diapers wipes and a blanket , that's enough for emergencies, in case we forgot the diaper bag, ect

I just have a tote bag on the floor in the backseat with a change of clothes, underwear, and a fleece pullover in it. I almost always have her travel water cup and a bib in my purse. We keep a blanket in each of our cars to toss over her when the weather is cold, and a toy or 2 for her to play with. I feel like we should have more in case there is ever a real emergency, but A) I never think about it except for when these posts pop up and B) and I don't really know what else I should have on hand without making my car a cluttered mess.

In H's truck I just shove them in the backseat pocket.
In my car I have the 31 over the seat holders with the multiple pockets and keep stuff in there.

Zip up tote. It's in the very back.

Hand sanitizer, Kleenex, and snacks stay up front with me in my btwn the seat box (glove box? What's that called?) for quick access.
