Whether it’s something for them or for you, this list has all sorts of stuff that will make your life that much easier.

I love this awesome seat cover! It’s no-slip, so you can put a car seat down on top of it, knowing it won’t shift around on you. It protects your car seat below from those spills and messes your kids are sure to make and even offers you more storage with the pockets at the bottom!
