Road Trip Essentials: Phone Mounts, Chargers and Gear for the Car
Road trips are more fun when the small things work: your phone stays visible for navigation, your devices stay charged and everyone in the car is comfortable. Here is what we suggest packing, with items from our shop.
Keep your phone in view
A phone mount keeps maps in sight so you are not holding your phone while driving. Check local laws on phone use and mounting in your area.
- The universal dashboard phone mount uses a clamp to hold your phone for maps and calls.
- The magnetic vacuum-suction phone mount has a twist-lock base and 360-degree adjustment, and is reusable.
Keep everything charged
- The 20000mAh power bank is useful for long drives and for passengers.
- The USB-C wall charger helps at hotel stops.
- The retractable multi-port cable folds flat and avoids tangles in the car.
Traveling with a dog?
