We also keep a couple of gallon sized ziptop bags in our car. In case anyone gets carsick, they use the bag, wipe off their mouth with a diaper wipe, throw it in the bag, zip it up, and we toss it in the trash as soon as we can pull over.

I love to organize too and I think it makes life so easy. I put my extra bags for my little garbage can in the bottom of the garbage can and when I take out my filled bag the new ones are right there at the bottom of the can. I thought you might like this idea, it's neat,clean and gives you the extra space in the door pocket of your car.

LOVE the trash container idea!! If someone said that to me, I'd have thought it was gross. But seeing you explain it, makes sense! Went out and bought one today, THANK YOU!

I'm from NC and my birthday is May 25 and I played the flute in school as well and I have 2 boys!!! I just thought it was to funny how much we have in common! Lol!! But in a couple years older! Lol!

I love this video. I hate to get in a messy car. My husband is the WORST at keeping a car clean and it drives me crazy. I guess after 25 years of marriage if that is our biggest problem we are doing ok. Haha. This video has given me a couple of ideas. Thank you and keep up the great work. You are my hero

What an amazing person you are! I love all your vids and recommend them. I bet you are a great teacher and are loved by your students. How lucky (blessed) they are

I absolutely love the container you have for a trash bin. I've tried using bags and they always end up moving around or tied off when there is something wet in them, then I take it out and forget to replace it. Having a designated trash bin is great!

I use an empty VHS container for my insurance cards registration etc

Oh my goodness Kathryn, of all the stuff I store in my van for "just in case" I have never once thought to keep a roll of paper towels in there. What a great idea! Adding that one to the list. Thanks for the tip!

Kathryn... have I told you how much I LOVE you!? You give me so many ideas! I'm so thankful I found your channel! It's finally warming up here in Canada so I've been eager to finally get a good deep clean going on my car! I'll be using EVERY idea you have...THANKS! The one thing I already do (kinda) and have been doing forever...is the garbage bag in the car. Taking stuff out after every drive was something I was never consistent with so I just hung mine from the corner of the glove box or the stick in the middle hanging down to the passenger side but I do like the idea of having it in the backseat! Stealing that idea too! Keep it up pretty mama!

Thanks for the tips. It helps me with what I'm already using. You are great to post these things for us.

when she said Ford family I almost cried 😂 not a ford fan at all but love this video!

Always a pleasure to watch your videos

You might consider a fire extinguisher and flares. I'm going to put in the tire gage and the flashlight up front, thank you.

This was hugely helpful for replenishing three vehicles in our family, thank you mega much!!!

Great ideas 4 keeping one's car organized. As I watched concerning the keeping of a first aid kit, water bottles, sun screen, snack bars... I thought, using an ice chest, like I do, can help keep these items insulated, which is a good thing. Especially since even on a 70-degree weather day(s), cars can reach high temps inside. I am sure you could maybe find a good vintage one, maybe at a yard sale, Craigslist or maybe even a Goodwill find. I always keep my Thermos brand, 2.5-cubic ft., ice cooler (purchased new back in 1971 or 1972 (in my Armada) and I tell you, those where made so well that even if its 90+-degrees outside, I can store purchased make-up or other delicate items (w/out ice), and when I take them out... they're not warm as they have been kept insulated; they come out as cool as when I put them in there. And of course, whenever I go food shopping on hot days, I put my cold items in there with my two vintage Rubbermaid Aqua WATER (refillable) Aqua color rectangular (16" x 14" x 2.5"/also purchased new back in the 70s), and even the ice cream and all of other cold stuff comes into my kitchen from the garage as cold as it went in... and the ice cream is perfectly frozen. Just a thought, hope it helps someone.

Very nice. Love the Thirty One bags.

Thanks for posting! I have been thinking about getting one of those baskets with the metal frame for the back of my car and this is convincing me.

For once Im actually excited to be cleaning out the car tomorrow!! Thanks for the tips and ideas! I'll be picking up one of those bins for garbage soon!

Great trash can idea! I am getting one today. Oh, and instead of spare liner bags in the door, I am going to use a trick I saw a hotel maid do.... put the clean spare liner bags folded in the bottom of the 'can' under the currently being used liner.

Beautiful organization. God bless u. Great job.

Excellent ideas. We are just approaching spring and plan a overhaul of our SUV. We have a grandbaby on the way and alot of the tips work for us. Also ty for being a for family. Both my husband and daughter work at a Ford Assembly plant in Ont Canada 😊

LOVE, LOVE,LOVE your trashcan....what a neat idea....Before now, never saw anything I liked that would work for trash...will have to do this one...I have a laundry basket in the back of my SUV ...works great to put in tennis shoes...paper towels...car cleaner...and ect.......that way, my car does stay clutter free... And also, what a cool idea for car registration...proof of insurance. ..ect.😀

Looove this! Thanks!!! I am one of those people with the most annoying/unorganized car. But I think this will totally work for my family & I...

My daughter uses the same 31 bag for her diaper bag as you do. She loves it.

This is good for people without kids too!!! I love to see how people with children organize their car because it will help me keep my kidfree car perfectly neat :)

Excellent video! I love all of your videos.

The shirts are a great idea and take up minimal space. Kids get sick and they throw up... usually on Mommy. Having a clean shirt to put on is a wonderful thing :-) I am putting a container for trash in my car....another one of your great ideas. Thanks Kathryn!!!!!!!!!

Lots of great ideas - thanks!

Why not just put the extra bags inside the trash can underneath the bag you've got in there, that way you save space AND they're right there where you use them. I keep mine that way and I just throw the bag out whenever I get gas, and ready the new one as my gas pumps.

Great tips!! I need to implement the trash can idea STAT!

I love the trash bin idea. I was just about to get rid of a large cereal container that will work perfect. Thanks for sharing your very clever ideas!

For trash, we use those square tissue boxes from Aldi. We always have a box of tissues in our middle console and an empty one right next to it. So when we’re done with a tissue or trash it goes in the empty box and when it’s full, we throw it out and replace it with the next empty box. It’s small yet holds a ton.

I never thought of this until my ex husband suggested it but all of the loose things in the automobile are a hazzard when/if you get into an accident, God forbid. A closable picnic basket would work well for the water and things in the back and then find a way to bungie it to the seat so that it doesn't become mobile if an accident should happen. Same with strollers. Finding a way to secure them from movement may be a good idea. Love your videos!

Great ideas. I keep the spare bags for the car bin in the bottom of the container.

I feel like I’m the only one who likes to have an empty car. I can’t stand clutter or leaving things in my car. It must be my OCD or something.

You aren't the only one. I don't keep anything in any of my vehicles, it gets taken out when I get home. One of my vehicles is a regular cab pickup, so even less space to keep crap in the vehicle. I don't eat or let anyone eat in my vehicles either, which helps out a lot to keep a vehicle clean.

Car "trash can" idea is genius! So simple yet so necessary. I'm your latest subscriber as of Sunday Nov. 8, 2015. Although I've only seen a few of your videos....I totally see why you have so many subscribers. You rock!

Love this chalenge

Luved it! I luv how u Hab a mirror on top where the headrest for baby which u didn't mention however;I will get me one & do the same. Great idea btw👍

lots of great ideas here!

I have about 4 square folding bins in my trunk that are mostly empty (I think one has an emergency cloth for if the car gets stranded and baseball hats for my dad) that I use when we get groceries; they keep the bags from falling over! Also, my family's always kept the paper towels in the back pocket of one of the front seats. That way it's always close enough to deal with a mess immediately. The pockets also have window screens (clip on the windows to keep out the sun on long trips) and umbrellas.

I love this video, I have MOST of the stuff in my car that you have in yours minus the baby stuff, BUT I also have like an emergency fashion kit, which comes with fashion tape, shoe shine sponge, a deodorant remover ( It removes it from your clothes, not you like my mom thought ) it has lint remover pads, static cling spray, Gosh I forget what all, it's like $10.00 at Wal-Mart and comes in it's on little pink tin ! Well worth the money. I also stick a few extra pad's and tampon's, hair bow's, hair tie's and a travel brush, what I did was I got a small travel make-up bag, not the purse size, but the next one up, I stuck it all in there, now if I'm out shopping, at the park or whatever and I have any sort of fashion emergency I'm covered! Thanks for sharing this with us, your such an ANGEL ! I need to see baby Carson though ! I swear you better be thankful we don't live close to each other because you'd never see Carson ! I'd be like one of those people who borrows thing's and forget to return them, but I'd be borrowing Carson man, and forget to bring him back ! Hugs, Denise

I have a tip for you-you can get one of those cheap shoe organizers and you can put it behind your seat your seat and boom

OMG I have been looking forward to this

Thanks for the video! :-) I often store my extra trash bags in the container under the trash bag that I use... So I don't need another place for them.

I keep a rag in my car too but it's in a baggie to keep that area clean and after it gets to dirty I replace it and wash the sorry one.

Nice video! What do you do about change/coins?

I love you Kathryn but I had to LOL at the registration in a labled box!! :) I'll have to ask my cop husband if he's ever seen that one before!! Great video!

So totally off subject, but seeing you organize the back end of your car reminded me. I keep 3 IKEA bags back there for my Aldi shopping trips. I've heard you mention Aldi's before in some of your videos, how do you organize your groceries?

Must do this my car is usually a mess ! Love how clean your car is only problem is now I want a bigger car with a great boot like yours lol

Love this!

being a child that had a organizer on the back of the seat i do find as when i got older roughly 8-12 i needed it rather a lot when i was drawing and things like that and having siblings we often played magnetic board games in the car and it was easy just to grab it out of there instead of having to get it out of a box also when i got to the ages 10-18ish it was a excellent place to keep chargers

on Amazon they sell a trash bag that goes behind the seat and its water proof you can pour drinks in it.

Great video. I love you organization tips. I'm sure you know this but safest place for car seat is in the middle of the back seats incase any car hits the back passenger door.

great video, as usual.......going to copy that registration box idea.....how does that garbage bin stay stable? i use one of those 'back of the seat' organizers and it works quite well as long as its installed tight to the seat....i got it for $8.OO new.....i like the way she folds her extra bags....so cute......going to try to find that emergency kit on amazon

Great video!😊😊😊

So very helpful!!

Not gonna lie, I saw the thumbnail on Facebook and clicked on it because of the ThirtyOne products! That means I'll be able to copy you with items I already have on hand. I'm really glad my kids are a little bit older now (3, 7, 9) and I don't actually keep snacks in the car anymore. And now, when we get out, I can make sure they take with them whatever it is they brought in (that includes trash). My husband on the other hand.... maybe I do need that trash container ;-) Thank you for the great tips!

Awesome!

Great tips!

Get out of my brain, I was JUST researching car trunk organizers on Amazon yesterday! :) I love your thirty one bags, cute and practical!

This video makes me realize how much I need to clean out our car!! #Motivation

Another idea that we use is to loop the handles of the trash bag around the driver and passenger seat arm

Love it !

My grandparents have a new van, and in the trunk they keep blankets and PILLOWS! It might seem silly at first, but they got them from the dollar tree, and you wouldn't believe how much we use them!

Glad to see that you are a Ford Family, as I am and work there :). I noticed that you had a little "reg" kit in your glove box, I myself has always been taught that for safety reasons that you should NEVER do that. In case your car gets broken into, your name/address is on your registration and you don't want that info out there. Just a tip :).

I looooovvveeee your videos!!!

Have you done an updated version with reusable grocery bags (I must have at least 3 dozen...seriously!), and having two growing children now? I love the “trash bin” idea. Have you considered putting the extra bags in the bottom of the bin? Time to clean out my glove compartment...

Your diaper bag is really cute and the size was just right.

I put extra garbage bags on the bottom of the cereal container (like you have) so there is always one or more ready to go.

LindieLee I actually got a little bag I got at the library and did the same it is working wonders for me I hang it in the back of the passangers side and the kids put their trash in it.

Thanks for the video! Question though - do you have one of those buttons built into the car (rearview mirror) that you can set up to open your garage? The reason I ask is bc your address is on your registration, so if someone steals your car wouldn't that give them access to your garage? My husband and I disagree about keeping insurance/registration in the car, nor will I type in our home address into the navigation controls.

But if someone steals your car, wouldn't you be stuck at home anyway? ;-) Easy enough to clear garage opener "memory", and reprogram existing remotes. Or some come with a electronic lock, to lock out any remote usage. Or you could unplug the garage opener. I think living in fear about a possible situation, and it's possible steps after is fearful itself. Think, react, fix, and move on.

What section of the dollar store did you get your registration box?

I'd love to see an updated video now with both boys!

love it!!!

Where did you get the pink basket with metal handles

where did you get that blue and white striped bag?

do you have a video over how you organize the thirty one bag you use for a diaper bag? I just ordered the same bag in the same print!

I have shown my mini - van organization on my channel, and we have a lot of similar organizational elements!

good tips.

"And then I had a baby". You just made my night. Thank you

I clean my van all the time. I can't stand it being dirty. Do u have any tips on how to get stains out of ur seats in your vehicles

That green shirt makes your eyes pop and this video was very helpful

I see you love 31 bags ! Love these tip!

Where did you get that basket?

I keep my things in an old makeup bag in my "hump" box. :P Gotta have hand sanitizer in there and wet ones, lil Kleenex packages, extra napkins and a couple straws. Also, I have a daughter who gets car sick now and then so I keep an empty coffee container with it's lid. It's big, plastic and with the lid contains the smells until we can pull over and clean it. :)

Just because you said for family I dropped a like

Great video. It convinced me to buy the basket for the trunk next time I'm out shopping. I was considering one for a while. I would like to add, however, that the organizers for the back of the seats aren't expensive. I made one out of a dollar tree shoe organizer, (i came across that idea online). I've also seen organizers for about 9 $ each on ebay/amazon. With 2 kids on the backseat in my jeep I don't have enough space to do anything in the middle and my drink holders are in a different place, but you gave me inspiration to think about organizing those toys and the SOPHIE :D.

Make sure you are reading the airbag section of your car, many prohibit having things hanging from the seat, as it messes with your sensors in case of an accident and can be very dangerous.
