Extra Details:

My toddler is now in the car constantly between preschool and activities, and I’ve realized parenting has an entire category of emergencies that begin with, “Oh no, we should have kept one of those in the car.” Vomiting. Wet clothes. Sudden bathroom emergencies. Mud. Snack explosions. A completely unexpected 45-minute drive. What should I buy before the incident that teaches me why I needed it?
