✅ Road trip checklists
Pick the list for how long you'll drive. Each one has what that trip really needs, no more: a short drive is water, snacks and one game; two days or more is the car set up like a small room. Tap who's coming (a toddler, a big kid, a teen, a pet) and their rows join the list. Tick on the phone, or print it blank for a pencil.

Every list has the same few things in the car: a charger, a trash bag, wipes, and the first-aid kit you already keep. The list never tells you what belongs in that kit; that's yours to decide.
