If you have a kid, you are running the risk of having a messy car. Of course there are many more important things out there than having a clean car, but with this easy solution you can keep your mess under control effortlessly and move on to more interesting challenges.

I bought one of these car trash containers from The Mod Mobile for my minivan a couple of weeks ago, and I'm no longer spending any time picking tiny scraps off the floor.

One of my boys chews on his fingernails when he's tired or stressed out, so when I pick him up after school, I slip him a piece of gum. It is a great solution as he then has something else to chew on, but I was always finding wrappers on the floor. Now he likes to use the fancy car garbage can and wrappers don't fly out the door when I open the car. Win-win!

They are only $19, come in a multitude of fabrics (I have the bold blue flowers), and can be used behind a seat or next to the gear shift. She also makes tissue holders and eco shopping bags, so all your car needs will be met in a tidy and stylish fashion. - Erika
