Get Your Car Organized

I have the High Road Swing Away Organizer and it's the best car accessory I have ever had.

Everyone that has seen it wants one. I have given it as a gift to a couple of people now, and it was a hit, especially with new car owners and communters who spend a lot of time in their cars. It makes a welcome gift, and for under $20 it is a very high quality well made item.

It drives me crazy when there's a bunch of stuff floating around in my car that I can't find when I need it, so I love this thing!

This organizer has eight pockets, and it's 9 x 18 x 4 inches, so it holds a lot; it attaches to the headrest easily, and it makes you safer because you can find what you need while you're driving, without having to take your eyes off the road.

It detaches easily too, making it simple to move from one vehicle to another fast, without forgetting anything.

The Swing Away does just that - when you have a passenger in front, or a passenger in the back needs something that is in the organizer, you just swing the organizer around to the back of the seat.

We've all been in that car that makes you feel like you need a shower after riding in it. Perhaps some of us have even owned that car...including me! Never again.

I have to keep the stuff in my car neat and organized, where I can find it. I have a teenager, dogs, I drive to work, and I do the shopping, so I carry quite a bit of stuff in a small space!

Think about it - the interior of your car is actually a small room, it just has wheels. Sure there are cup holders and a glove box, maybe a pocket on the back of the seat, but like any room, you have to furnish it. Take the time to consider what you need to have in your "room", and buy the "furnishings" that make sense.

What is the inside of your car like?

Mine holds a book of soduko, a package of baby wipes and napkins for spills, extra sunglasses, a small notebook and some pens, car registration and insurance papers, a pair of scissors and a small sewing kit, my Nirvana CDs, five cotton grocery bags, my dog park pass and some doggie poop bags, an umbrella, a map, my grocery coupon wallet, a tire pressure gauge, gum. breath mints, hand lotion, pepper spray, and an extra pair of gloves. I even tuck a dryer sheet into one of the mesh pockets to keep my car fresh. It's the best!

7 pockets (one of them is a lined glasses or sunglasses sleeve), 3.8 x 7.5 x 9 inches, and it swings away just like its bigger brother.

Considering how much your car costs, and how much time you spend in it, making a few thoughtful purchases makes sense. If you use your car every day, you really should keep it organized in ways that make sense for your needs, to personalize it for your own comfort.

A car that is organized is easier to vacuum and and keep clean, so upkeep is simple, and being in your car will be a pleasure. You'll never be embarrassed when your boss asks you for a ride and your mother won't cringe when she gets in your car.

Below are a few other items I have in my car to make it organized and pleasant to ride in.
