Road trips are our family’s favourite way to spend our weekends. Packing up the car, turning up the radio and hitting the highway. Unfortunately this Winter has taken it’s toll on our car. While I can whip through a car wash to clean the outside it’s the inside that needs a lot of love and attention. Luckily I have some fantastic products to share making us road trip ready with Canadian Tire. (spinabifida.net) 
Road Trip Ready with Canadian Tire
In Winter getting our car road trip ready is harder than any other season. The dirt, the marks from the boys’ snow boots, salt, dirt etc. It’s like climbing a mountain before heading out on your trip! Luckily Canadian Tire has you covered. Get this road trip ready tool kit and you will have everything you need to take your car from dirty to road trip ready! We loved using the following products – their fresh scents, ease of use and convenience. We used the Simoniz Hawaiian Scented All-Purpose Cleaner, Simoniz Reach Clean Dusting Tool, Simoniz Upholstry Spot Cleaner, Simoniz Grab-a-Rag, Simoniz Car Vacuum, and Armor All Wash Wipes.
Once your car is clean and ready it’s time to start thinking about the road trip gear you will need. Don’t forget to check out some great gear your definitely need for your road trip.
If you have kids in big kid booster seats you know how challenging it can be to travel with large booster seats through airports, down streets and the worst – putting them in taxis when travelling! Canadian Tire introduced us to the MiFold Booster Seat and I cannot believe I hadn’t heard about it before. The MiFold Booster Seat is absolutely revolutionary when it comes to booster seats for ease of use, and it’s tiny size. You will be in awe that something so small can provide a safe and comfortable ride and it absolutely can! We tested out the MiFold Booster Seat on a long drive and was really pleased with how it performed. Look at the size of it compared to the seat our boys usually use! Can’t wait to throw two of these in my person the next time we are in the city and need to take taxi. Travelling with kids? We have some road trip tips for family travel. 
Travelling with your smartphone requires a whole other set of accessories. From the Autotrends 2 in 1 Holder to the Scosche Portable Backup Battery these accessories ensure that you can be hands-free and never run out of power. Super useful when you need to use your phone for maps, GPS and/or need to make some hands-free calls while you drive. We will be keeping these two in my our car to ensure every road trip is safer and we know we have extra battery power after a day of photos, videos and navigation.
Last but definitely not least the Tile Slim is the answer to all of my lost items. Whether you lose your electronics, camera, wallet or other valuables the Tile Slim is the answer. As thin as two credit cards it slides easy into anything you might lose. Just use the app on your phone and find it quickly – or double tap the Tile and it will locate your phone. No more searching through the house for your lost items.
It’s easy to be road trip ready with Canadian Tire.
Where will your next road trip take you?
Disclosure: I was provided with these products to test. I was not compensated for this post.
I need that tile slim. We take so many road trips! I could have used most of these fir the drive to Vermont last month. I also could have used the cell phone holder badly. Well I’ll have to look fir one at Canadian Tire. They do have such a range of products!
The Tile Slim is so handy! I love it. A portable backup battery is also a must for sure. Great suggestions and they will surely make any road trip less stressful and worry-free :)
I can think of a couple things I’d like to track with that. Probably would stick one in my DSLR bag!

You’d definitely be ready for a road trip with this. We are planning to stay in Canada for a while so we will be road trippin’ a lot! Thanks for this.
I need the cleaning products. With 6 kids my 12 passenger van is,a hot mess!
I need to get a portable battery charger. My phone is always running low on power when I am on a road trip!
Great list of very useful items for any trip. Will look into the slim for my next trip.
Ok, so I am going to buy a Tile Slim right now! I need one for all our electronics!!
Yes! It’s fantastic for finding them!
We are planning a summer road trip to Niagara Falls this summer. I can wait for it, my youngest would benefit from that booster seat.

What a great resource for traveling! One of my biggest fears is having an issue on the road while we travel!
I love the Tile Slim! We travel quite a bit and I think we could use a couple of these items you suggested here. Some of them I’ve never even heard of.
These look great! I have never heard of the Tile Slim before.
Our kids are grown, but we do travel with grand kids now and then. The MiFold Booster Seats would be great to have on hand when picking the up from and taking them to the airport when they come for a visit.
The Tile Slim is really cool. I am going to get a couple of those for myself for some trips that I will be taking over the next several months!
We’re hitting the road to Florida for our first road trip. We’re just waiting for spring to finally hit!
Loved your post! We are planning to stay in Canada for a while so we will be on the road!
Such great gadgets to have for road trips. We just got back from Yellowstone and are heading to Helena, MT, at the end of the month. Organization is the key!
We are planning a road trip this spring. Tires and a new strut (sadly) are on the list to take care of before we leave!
My car needs a cleaning like no other- no road trip, BUT a heavy winter! I’ll check this items out for us!!
We are going to do a lot of traveling soon, so we need to be road ready. I think tires are the most important part of a car when traveling. If they are bad, you could wreck.
We go on a lot of road trips. My mother lives in Oregon and I live 14 hours away in California-
I usually like to take the trip over a few days.
This sounds amazing! Having a good tire for road trips is really important. :D
These are all great products to get road trip ready. I need one of those portable backup batteries.
