Take Stock in Baby Wipes

You and your family are driving along, miles from home, when your 2-year-old decides to paint her face with the portable yogurt you gave her to munch on. The nearest gas station is at least 30 minutes ahead and she will not stop crying.

Grab a few baby wipes out of a container and the mess will melt away in no time. When you carry a stash of these handy wipes along on a family road trip, the uses will amaze. They are not just for diaper changes anymore!

Even if you are traveling with teenagers, baby wipes should still be a must in the car because they are excellent for helping sop up minor emergencies of all sorts. If the “baby” in baby wipes bothers your kids, get wet naps or disinfectant wipes for the hands instead. When you stow a package in the car, they can come in handy not only for cleaning up after little food artists, but also for:

• Any messes on the hands, face or what have you.
• Cleaning up spills on the dash and other hard surfaces.
• Making the car smell a little better after a long day of traveling.

Keeping everyone and everything cleaned up on a road trip is a challenge. Baby wipes can help you get the job done right.
