Back to school: intelligent additions to your car for the school run

In less than a blink of an eye, the school summer holidays have come and gone.  You find yourself already in the throes of back-to-school shopping to ensure that your children are geared up for the year ahead.  You may have already sorted out PE kits, art supplies, and new school shoes.  But, have you ensured that your car is ready to go back to school for the school run?

Many parents do the school run by car every day.  This time spent in the car is further augmented by journeys in the evenings and at weekends. If you are frequently taking children to sporting events, dance classes, swimming lessons, Scouts and whatever other activities they enjoy outside of school, you’ll understand.  Your car can take a battering with the constant foot traffic in and out. This is multiplied if you give lifts to other members of the sports team. Transporting instruments or sports gear will eventually take its toll. And, if you’re tight on time, your car may end up being a mobile dining room.  Inclement British weather as we head into the autumn months just adds to the equation. The result is that going back to school means your car can get really dirty and really scratched… really quickly.

Travall knows how hectic family life can be.  We also know that parents are often short on time available for cleaning the car.  To make life easier, Travall has developed a range of vehicle-specific products that cut down on cleaning time, add that all-important level of protection and make your car look stylish at the same time.

Travall Mats

Not just your run-of-the-mill rubber mats, Travall Mats provide waterproof protection for the carpet in your footwells but take it up a notch too.  The cleverly designed raised outer lip means that liquids and dirt stay on the mats and away from your car’s carpet. Cleaning the mats is very quickly and easily done – simply wipe over or hose off. The mats fit perfectly in the car you drive and anchor in place as appropriate.  There’s no annoying slipping and sliding underfoot.

Travall Protector

If you are constantly hauling a cello in and out of the boot or your back bumper gets used for putting on rugby boots, it doesn’t take long for scratches to appear on the paintwork.  The Travall Protector gives permanent protection to this vulnerable area. It can cover up those unsightly scratches and prevent future damage. All of this, without the need to invest in the high cost of paintwork repairs. This bumper protector is, just like all Travall products, vehicle specific.  You’ll achieve a perfect fit for your car with an easy, at-home process that will look like it was a factory installation. The Travall Protector is available in a tough plastic or stainless steel, depending on the car you drive.

Travall Sillguards

With school shoes, trainers and even tap dancing shoes entering and exiting the car, the door sills can take a hammering.  It’s easy to provide additional protection to this area with Travall Sillguards. These vehicle-specific accessories also offer a precision fit, so appear like they were fitted at the time the car was manufactured.  However, they are easily fitted at home and the 3M™ automotive-grade installation tape ensures a permanent fit. This vehicle-specific product is available in stainless steel.

When you’re shopping to get your children ready for going back to school, make the smart choice this September with products from Travall that are top of their class. For further details on Travall products for the car you drive, visit the website.  Have a great school year!
