If springtime in your home means running your kids to practices and games for their spring sports, then you need to have your car ready for just about anything. From preparing for all different types of weather to making sure everyone has the equipment they need, here’s how buys parents can pack their car for the spring sport season.
Rather than tossing a number of items into your car and hoping that you can find what you need later, try creating individual kits and packing all of your kits in a large plastic container that you store in the back of your car. Now you’ll be covered, have what you need, and be able to find it quickly. Here’s a few ideas of the kits you can create:
