Travel Gear from DayTimers for Summer Road Tripping

Lehigh Valley, PA (PRWEB) June 21, 2007 -- It's the time of year when families and friends are scheduling their summer vacations and planning road trips to destinations near and far. For many families, traveling by car is the best approach to an affordable getaway. Whether it's a two-hour trip to a local state park or a 10-hour ride to another part of the county, DayTimers has the essentials to keep things in control during this summer's road trips.

"Summer road trips are a great way for families to reconnect and bond," commented Maria Woytek, DayTimers Time Management Expert. "As a parent who travels often with family, I know first-hand how a road trip can be a fun, memorable experience for everyone in the car, as long as you plan to take along the right gear."

Comfort First

Perhaps one of the most daunting parts about spending hours in a car is how uncomfortable it can become. It's especially important for the driver to stay comfortable and relaxed. The Obus Forme® Lowback Backrest and Seat __title__ Obus Forme Lowback Backrest and Seat (http://personal-organization.daytimer.com/car-organizers/Obus-Forme%20174-Lowback-Backrest-and-Seat/0/False/47656), $199.99, are perfect for continual comfort throughout the whole trip. The backrest actually coaxes your spine into proper alignment, decreasing pressure on the back by 35 percent.

Keep the Kids Occupied and Organized

Keeping kids entertained on a long car ride can be a challenge. The AutoExec Express __title__ AutoExex Express (http://personal-organization.daytimer.com/car-organizers/AutoExec-Express-with-Carrying-Case/0/False/21069), $124.99, is the perfect solution. Originally designed for organizing business materials in the front seat, it's also a great way to keep the kids organized and under control in the back. By putting the AutoExec in the middle of the backseat, it gives children their own "space" and also provides room for them to store road trip necessities such as crayons, pens, paper, books, and handheld video games. It features a handy desktop that unfolds, allowing plenty of room for each child to have work or coloring space.

The Sound of Music

Music can make or break a road trip. To keep favorite tunes within easy reach, the CD and Visor Organizer __title__ CD and Visor Organizor (http://personal-organization.daytimer.com/car-organizers/AutoExec-Express-with-Carrying-Case/0/False/21069), $15.99, is a must. It slides onto the visor, holding up to ten CDs, as well as storage for sunglasses, pens and money or credit cards.

Eyes on the Road

One of the biggest distractions for drivers while on the road is the need to search for items that suddenly seem important, whether it be a cell phone, pen or change for the toll booth. The CommuteMate __title__ CommuteMate (http://personal-organization.daytimer.com/car-organizers/CommuteMate%20153-Cell-Cup%20174/0/False/21077)? Cell-Cup, $14.99, is great for keeping all necessities handy, as it stores everything in a holster that fits right in to a cup holder, keeping it close and convenient.

All of these items are sure to make this summer's road trip more relaxed, comfortable and organized. To check out the rest of the DayTimers travel items, go to www.daytimer.com.
