Vehicle Maintenance

Breaking down alongside the road may put a damper on the spontaneity of any spur of the moment trip. So before you hop into that car, think about whether or not your car is up-to-date on maintenance.

Check Your Wallet

? Toys and books
? DVD player with movies
? Pillows and blankets to encourage napping

Items to Keep Handy in Your Car
