2.A foldable OXO Tot 2-in-1 Go Potty because when they gotta go, you know they gotta go! Like, right now! No bathroom? No problem; extend the legs, and voilà, you've got an instant roadside commode. This potty also lays flat on regular toilets for a more comfortable seat on the throne.

Includes three disposable bags with absorbent pads and a travel bag.

Promising review: "This is perfect for keeping in the back of the car for travelling. Right now, we are potty training, and we can just pull over and have him go on the side of the road. It is also perfect for public restrooms, so he feels like he won't fall in. He likes it too, which is a huge plus." —debbie

Price: $20.99 (available in three colors)

3.A baby changing station and diaper clutch with enough room for several nappies and a pack of wipes to turn every clean (hopefully) flat surface into a changing table.

Promising review: "Great changing pad for on-the-go. Sometimes, when we travel, we don't have access to a changing table, and this helps keep changing our baby in the car a breeze. Love that it's slim and doesn't take up much space." —Chev

Price: $12.95+ (comes in six colors)

4.An eight-piece packing cube set that's not just for organizing suitcases for family trips. Use these to store an extra set of clothes (kids are gonna kid) in your go-bag or in the car.

5.A six-pack of Munchkin jumbo microwave bottle sterilizer bags so you can thoroughly disinfect bottles or breastfeeding equipment by eliminating 99.9% of the most common bacteria and germs. Just add water and pop it in the microwave for as little as 90 seconds.

6.A kids' travel tray, which is like their own little backseat workstation. The "desk" part is actually a dry-erase board, and there are dedicated holders for the two most important things for kids on long car trips: tablets and water bottles.

7.A three-pack of kids' sunglasses so little eyes stay protected, and little hands can't break them with any twisting or bending. Plus, every baby looks cool wearing these!

8.A 1-oz. Purell Essentials travel size flip cap bottle because there are germs everywhere, and the last thing you want on a trip is the kids (or adults) getting sick.

9.A Graco Pack and Play so babies can nap and sleep comfortably anywhere when traveling. It's especially helpful if it's already used regularly at home because it creates a familiar environment for snoozing.

10.A 107-piece pack of rainbow scratch paper to scratch that creative itch (and occupy the kids' time) while keeping the (front of) the refrigerator well stocked with kiddo's latest artistic endeavor.

12.A pack of 120 dog poop bags because, now hear me out here, you're not going to be traveling with a Diaper Genie, but you're still going to have to deal with dirty, stinky diapers piling up.

13.A waterproof car trash can with a lid and storage pockets for instilling just a modicum of hope that you might be able to keep the car somewhat cleaner than the house. Maybe.

14.An inflatable bathtub because even though you're on vacation, you still have to wash that kid, and unless otherwise requested, most hotel/motel rooms don't have a tub.

15.A leakproof, easy-to-clean Contigo kids water bottle that'll last as long as the kids don't lose it and keep them hydrated on the reg throughout the day. All they have to do is "flip, bite, sip, and drink through the straw."

16.A 20-pack of disposable, hooded, button-down kids' rain ponchos for those times when you forgot to check the weather app (re: most of the times) or when an unexpected storm blows in unannounced.

Promising review: "I love these for my toddler! Perfect for snacks around the house and on the go. Sometimes a few pieces fall out, but it prevents her from spilling the entire container. She can feed herself while marching around like she likes to do. And it's affordable enough to buy multiples, but I won't go broke if we lose one at the park. So handy!" —Flyingfloof

Price: $5.96 (available in two color sets)

19.A lightweight Evenflo "Otto" self-folding stroller that can be opened and closed with one hand, which is clutch because you'll most likely be holding the baby with the other! Drives well, travels well, and fits almost anywhere.

20.A 250-piece first aid kit packed with bandages, butterfly closures, gauze pads, ointments, examination gloves, an instant cold compress, and more for any emergencies that don't (hopefully) require a trip to the emergency room.

21.A UPF 50+ sun-protective, wide-brim bucket hat to keep kids' heads, faces, and necks safe from that summer sun while the drawstring keeps it secured from blowing away and getting lost. The hat also folds up for easy on-the-go storage.

22.A pack of four TSA-approved travel bottles for all of the lotions and potions that babies and kids require without having to travel with all of those full-size bottles taking up extra luggage space.

23.A four-pack of baby pacifier clips because when a binky falls to the floor, it needs to be washed and replaced. The pacifier is one item to which the "five-second rule" does not apply, especially if it drops in an airport or on a plane.

24.A storage organizer for keeping trunk floors free for maximized space (maybe for a stroller or luggage). Velcro strips keep it from rattling around, but you can also use it for the backseat storage, too.

25.A baby powder formula dispenser to easily (and neatly) dispense perfectly measured and mixed babas every time without making a mess (or wasting precious formula).

Promising review: "This dispenser is a must-have for any parent using formula. We actually have two so that one can be for nighttime upstairs and the other for our outings in the diaper bag. This dispense is an easy snap lid and twist lid for the different compartments. Consider this one of your necessities. Highly recommend." —AmyV1213

Price: $4.42+ (available in two colors)

26.A Philips fast baby bottle warmer because babies want, nay demand, that their babas are above room temperature, and you know there will be hell to pay if they're not. Plus most hotel rooms don't have microwaves.

27.A rechargeable, three-speed flexible stroller fan so the kids (and you) can keep cool while you're out strolling under the hot sun and there's no AC.

28.A portable car vacuum cleaner that plugs into the car's lighter port (with a 16-foot-long cable), so unless your ride is out of gas or the battery's dead, you've got no excuse for not cleaning every nook and cranny from the dashboard to the trunk.

29.A set of two Drop Stop car seat gap fillers (as seen on Shark Tank) that'll keep you and the kids from dropping phones, crayons, loose change, or French fries into the deep, dark, unreachable voids of your car.

30.A roll of silver 3M all-weather duct tape to make sure broken things (like a side-view mirror, kids' toys) stay good and stuck on until you can properly repair them. What can't duct tape fix?
