- Today I am giving you a minivan tour of my ultimate mom car. A month ago I did an extreme cleaning of my van and that same day I ordered a whole bunch of stuff to organize my car so I can get maximum use and efficiency out of it. I’ll show you what I loved some car hacks I would pass and what I keep in my car so I am prepared for anything and everything. Affiliate links to everything I share is below. Thanks for supporting my channel, so I can keep making videos like this :)

You need to put mounting tape onto your emergency tool to secure it into that little cubby area b/c if you think it's going to just sit in that tiny spot without moving during or after an accident and if you've rolled over or turned over, you're mistaken. I keep mine secured so that it doesn't move. You wanna do this b/c once you're locked into a seatbelt after a wreck, you're not gonna get out to chase it around the car when it gets thrown places where you can't find it or get to it.
I nerd out so hard over minivan mom gear. 🤩 😂
Your car is fully optimized 👏 that steering wheel tray is genius!!
Seriously it is!!!! I wouldn’t have had any use for it normally. But since parents aren’t allowed to wait in most buildings for their kids activities due to all the stuff going on in the world I’m sitting alone in my car all the time!
Yeah I love it
Center console: I use the smallest caddy they have at dollar tree with like three compartments in the teacher section. Great video by the way
I just got my first car and the thought of a dirty car makes my heart race a little bit LOL. So this video made my heart happy. Ordered a few of these things
For the seat gap filler hole punch a hole in it and wrap a hair tie through it loop it once around the seat belt clip and it will slide back and forth with the seat ;) love it
I knew you wouldn't disappoint, steering wheel tray is so cool!
I don't have lil ones but I'm watching lol
Same. Lol 😆
Me too
Center console- I use solo cups! Different sizes for different things. One for hair items, one for first said things, one for misc. (pens, tissue, mask, headphones) it works great and stays put
I am so glad I'm not the only person with a potty in the back of their car. Lol I got so excited.....YAY, IM NOT WEIRD!
If it’s weird than I don’t wanna be normal!! 😆 such a lifesaver!
About to get my first mini van and LIVING for this!!
I’m a nanny and don’t have my own kids, but this was so helpful! It’s so nice to know you’re prepared for whatever might happen. 😊
Ok I keep my food stashes in the side pocket too. Pistachios. Tuna salad and crackers. I love the crack filler I got. Cleaning tool, yes! The tray is genius with everyone eating in their cars.
I’ve how real it is! Helps us mommas a lot
Just letting you know, I like the set up. But 1 thing, get the wipe case for the wipes over time they will dry up open or not because of heat. I learned my lesson. Also the cover the water somehow so the sun doesn't go on it.so water doesn't taste like plastic
Lusso gear is amazing! I have their trashcan and middle seat organizer for my smaller crossover. Now that we uped our number of kids-I need a minivan. We keep a minicooler by the door to take in the car whereever we go out. Its too hot during summer/too cold in winter to leave drinks and snacks in the car. I need to add towels back in as my youngest spilled and I had nothing to clean it up with. Great reminder/organization!
It’s the snack stash for me 👏🏼 👏🏼
The best video I’ve seen!!!! Thanks girl!!! Just purchase the on the go potty for my kids! So helpful
You are SO resourceful and innovative. WOW!!!!
You are the first person I've seen to keep a potty in the car. So much easier. I used to put a short pop up small tent to set it up if we were in a very public place. If folded flat and was easy to keep in the back These are lots of good tips. Heading to Amazon right now!
Loving these ideas..I need to get one of those trays for myself!
I just bought the same mini van as you today! Haha and I have 1 toddler so far and two dogs. So now I’m inspired to do a mini van organization video too! Love your ideas as well! Good job mama 🤍🤍
The portable potty... Brilliant!
Thanks for sharing its been very helpful. Looking forward to more of your videos
I’m a great grandma so lots of great ideas.
Love your organizing/cleaning videos!!
Thank you!!
Your seat settings 😂 YES!!!
I love your confidence, I hope to become that comfortable with the camera ❤️
Okay so I just found this awesome stroller called the wonderfold w4 wagon! It is a fold up wagon that seats 4 and fits super easy through door ways!! I used to have a city select but with three under 2 years old, it wasn’t enough. I was STRUGGLING to go anywhere even with help. Then I Found this gem on a moms of multiples Facebook page and immediately showed my husband... we ordered it that week 😂 I have been using it now for the last few weeks and it’s AMAZING!! You gotta check them out! I think a lot of moms who have more one kids would love it!! I know I do! Wonderfold W4 wagon ❤️
In my side door even though I have teens I still keep wipes and I keep an extra shopping bag as I use them for garbage bags or catch all's
This video is great! Love the potty in the back! Perfect idea!
Always love mondays bc of you! Great work girl 😊
Thanks so much 😊
@@MaiZimmy Your welcome! Have a good day 😊
EXCELLENT video. TYSM!!!!!
You are prepared!!
💪🏻💪🏻
Ok we are literally the same person. I’m still young and cool and drive an Ody (and my family thinks I’m so awesome for calling it that🤣), and I love organization.
The potty is genius!!
I love your personality I swear omg
Awww thank you!! 🥰🥰
The Honda Odyssey are nice vans
Lemon pledge works great on the dashboard
I have the same van, and I believe there's a setting so that your car doesn't move when you turn the ignition; it just stays in your setting!
Goldfish graveyard😂😂😂 that’s hilarious
Becoming a mommy in June and literally looking for a car right now. Love your videos!!!
Congrats!!! I love my minivan 😁
I have a Kia minivan and LOVE it as well.
If you are on a budget look for a rental fleet car lot, like Enterprise or Hertz. The vehicles are only a year or two old and way less than right off the show room floor.
@@cassiforest9191 I will definitely look into that. Thank you so much :)
Honda actually makes a “storage” bin for that empty space in the front and I line it and use it as a trash bin. It’s perfect.
Went surfing on UA-cam to find some videos on accessories to add on our new Honda Odyssey we just picked up on Monday and ended up finding my Doppelgänger too!! Lol no seriously we look alike. I’m probably like 10 years older than you but it was cool seeing someone that looks just like me. 😊 I like your hacks. I do need to get a trash can contraption in my minivan. My daughter is a dirty pig leaving trash everywhere.
Now I wanna see a pic of you! Lol
Console I use a felt purse organizer it’s awesome like 15 pockets
This videos are so entertaining 🤍😂 addictive✅✅✅
Portapotty is brilliant 💡
I love your organization videos... I am a minimalist in my eyes you have a ton of stuff 😁 but I still enjoy witching your videos.
Thanks!!! Yes I am definitely not a minimalist myself! 😅 but I am trying to live with less and utilize what I have the best I can. Baby steps 😁
@@MaiZimmy that is ok thanks for sharing! You are super entertaining! 👏
u should try a regular L shape book end as a divider for your middle console. If u live near a Daiso, they carry some.
Going on long drives with my son in the back seat I got a tryone tablet mount it easily attaches to the back of my headrest and isn't as invasive as the last tablet holder I tried
seat protectors are not recommended, they make your car seat installation less secure. it hides the fact that the car seats aren't in tight enough. the dents in the seats go away after a bit once the seats are removed, trust me! better to be safe.
For the seat gap pockets, maybe use some command strips to keep them in place?
I had make my own because space is small.
Your idea should definitely work
Hi love ur videos! ❤️ Where did u get the sturdy bucket from that’s in the trunk?
Love this video!! Thanks for the links! Is there a reason you keep the third row seat up since you have all your kids in the middle row?
When we put our stroller in it fits nicely in the area where just one seat is down and stays nicely propped up. If we had everything down it would just be splayed all over haha.
I have a 2016 base model odyssey. Love it but sometimes I do wish it had automatic doors sometimes (and a full second row vs two captain chairs but we have a system now). I also wish I had magic fairies to buckle my kids in their seats. No one else but dad and I can get our son into his seat. Those crotch buckles are ass pains. You have to have a minivan once you exceed two kids. need to get my car vacuumed at the very least. Life with 3 under 5 is just ridiculous especially now with two school runs. I have a mag light but we're all screwed if we're in a true crisis. I try to keep a full size wipes, pull-ups and diapers for everyone, snacks if we're lucky. I use that bag hook for trash bags (target drive up bags are the best, more structured). But in general my car is a hot mess. It really needs vacuuming. Gosh I don't even think I have car insurance paperwork. Anyways love Graco car seats but we also have a cosco one and no complaints really. Love your setup. You're motivating me to clean up and organize my life lol. Even with the motivation it's hard with three kids (including an 8 month old clingy cranky pants).
Life with 3 under 5 is for sure crazy! If you figure out where to get those fairies to buckle your kids in let me know 😅😅
You can make your own cleaning gel 😌
That dust cleaning gel look like Venom in Spiderman movie.
Is there a car section on your Amazon store? Thinking of buying well everything and it’s time for a play area so if I’m gonna make the purchases then I rather you get your credit for helping me lol
You can store the tray in the gap 😉😉
I feel like a small makeup organizer would be nice in the center console. It’s got divided sections and they come in variety of sizes 👀
Graco only approves using their specific seat protectors underneath their car seats for safety and I believe that’s the only way they would cover the replacement of car seats in the event of an accident.
I’m too fat for the steering wheel tray. Dang it. I do love it...
❤❤❤
Was waiting for a vid like this! Thank you 😭
So glad to deliver! 😁
You have such amazing organization skills, everyone needs to watch this video.💫 Keep rising to be who you want to be! 💫 #keeprising #risingtobe #aswerise #riser
Love the Car garbage trash can!
I stood my stroller up and secured it with a bungee cord!
Where do you put your groceries? 🤔
Looking to get the car tray. What year can do you have?
This makes me wish I had an SUV. We have two kiddos now and our car is always a mess with how small it is.
Wow I actually found someone like me
Tnx
I need to know where you got your coat from
Where do you buy your prescription sunnies from? I haven't found many affordable sites with good looking pairs.
I haven’t found any inexpensive and still cute prescription sunglasses 😒 I spends what feels like a million dollars on Warby Parker sunnies. But they have held up for 2 years and when they were scratched from my kids I got replacement frames cause it was within the year warranty! If you ever find affordable prescription sunnies DM me on Instagram!! 😁
I have an office pen organizer in my console that gives me three compartments.
So did you ever use that hidden pull out divided compartment that your trash can was blocking? Did you even know it was there? LOL
Oh and I also have Bahama bucks coupons that are like a million years old 🤣
Hello again Mai Last cleaning car video you link the graco 65 car seat, I would like to know if it’s good and wii be last until my kid turn how many years?
This is 3m old so you’re probably set now but we have the Graco MySize 65 and unless you have a large child it should work until age 5-6. My daughter is over the height limit but sat in ours recently for fun and actually still fits in the harness at age 9.5,lol
Thanks for the recommendations. The individual links work but when I clicked on your storefront link it didn't work for me. I was trying to find out that pink back pack.
Thanks for letting me know! I’ll take a look at it
I don’t know why the link didn’t work. I compared it to the correct one and it was identical 😬 should work now! 😁 and I linked my little backpack as well as a single link cause it’s not from Amazon. Thanks for letting me know!!
@@MaiZimmy thank you so much!
I have the same seat/console filler, I put the foam pieces going small point down wide spot up. I find it fills the space and stays when my seat moves but I think the space in my van is wider. I was losing all sorts of things without them there lol
I think I need the goo cleaner!
Yeah my driver seat moves a ton every time I get in so it just doesn’t work for my Honda on the driver side. But I filmed this a month ago and I still and using it on the passenger side! 😀
I bought the car seat protector, but I’m wondering, what is the name of the back of the seat organizers that zipper with the Velcro to keep them in place?
Linked below :)
I always try to link everything in the description box :)
I want to get a honda odyssey what year is year van?
Lol you use A LOT of extra words when you talk. But I love your video!
What car seats do you have that they fit three across??
I have this same van and it has a setting where you can put the three middle seats into wide mode and almost any combination of three carseats will fit.
@@alaina-bug4645 I have the same van and we have two Graco extend to fits and a graco snug ride. They do not fit three across because of the seats touching each other which they cannot do for safety.
@@chelseaarrieta812 Have you put your second row in the wide mode option? I’ve had a Britax Frontier(it’s a beast) a Graco MySize 65 and a Graco booster and in wide mode they all fit fine. Have you verified they’re not allowed to touch at all? Is that what the owners manual says? Most allow light touching as long as their independently tight. Any questions I ask on the Carseat.org FB page. They have CPST’s that can answer any questions.
@@alaina-bug4645 even in wide mode, the seats I have don’t fit three across. You should be able to pass a piece of paper between each seat. I think the cup holders on the extend to fits interfere too much. Now that my four year old is forward facing I think I’m going to try again. We tried in December with two rear facing and the Snugride and they pushed on each other a lot. I’m on the Car Seat for Littles Facebook page that has multiple cpsts. Apparently the Graco, Evenflo and Diono don’t allow overlap or touching. I’ll have to look into the Britannia you mentioned! I feel bad my four year old sits all the way in the back by himself.
@@chelseaarrieta812 Definitely don’t look at the Britax…it’s decently wide. If you’re looking for a new seat I would look at the Chicco MyFit for your forward facer. There’s a new Graco out also that is supposed to be super slim. Car seats for Littles is an awesome resource too. I would look at how wide the E2F is and change out the two of them and get something slimmer. Maybe the Graco for your rearfacer and the MyFit for your forward facer?
Alcohol flush???? And buy this where??? Lol
Its joke 🙄
Why am I watching this I’m a boy lol
😆😆
1st Hack, do not allow children to eat in your car.
Am I the only one who doesn’t let their kids eat in the car?
Yes calling cps. Kids should not be deprived of food mainly bc their food intake change during growth spurs. unless your struggling financially there is no reason to not have snacks for children.
@@matemahe wtf? We are rarely in the car so your comment is not even relevant. Snacks vs no snacks in the car are totally different things. You seriously have a problem.
Holly i didn't let mine or the grandkid ether. If they get hungry we will pull over at a park or beach and throw out a blanket make snack time a bonding time. I feel eating in the car is also dangerous if they are smaller. Exception is long road trips. Of course they always had there water! You do you!
To much crap
