But one thing most people don\u2019t feel is <strong>unsafe<\/strong>. If you think about it, when your vehicle becomes a mobile living room\/dining room where your kids entertain themselves on trips and eat snacks in the car or you have lunch on the go, stuff tends to accumulate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Half-full water bottles, toys, clothing items, trash (it\u2019s okay to admit that), books, and other random things all end up on the floor, in your footwells\u00a0<\/span>and<span style=\"color: #333333;\"> in your cargo area. And when you\u2019re busy, you don\u2019t always have time to clean the car out every day. And all that stuff\u2026 sits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Loose items become projectiles<br \/>\n<\/strong>Any item left in your car can become a projectile in the event of a sudden stop. We created this video for <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-us\/protecting-our-children\/\">Child Passenger Safety Week<\/a> in September 2017 and it shows exactly what we\u2019re talking about.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\"><iframe width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A8SHo5djPs0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">This is where a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travall.com\/en-us\/travall-guard\">Travall Guard<\/a> can come in handy! When properly installed our Guard could help contain loose items in your trunk or cargo area away from your passengers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Trash makes your car feel trashy<br \/>\n<\/strong>We\u2019ve all done it, left a half-full drink bottle or sippy cup in the car. Not realizing the kiddos left their fruit snack wrappers on the floor. The apple slice that ends up under the seat only to be found mummified (or worse) during a deep clean. We\u2019re human. The important thing to remember is that these things can be a health hazard, depending on what is left in the car. Opening an old sippy cup with milk that\u2019s turned is not something anyone wants to experience more than once\u2026 I can still smell it if I think about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>The possibility of theft<br \/>\n<\/strong>If you are one to leave items in your car like backpacks, toys, clothing, and other gear when you head into the house, you could be targeted by thieves. Leaving these things in your car when it\u2019s parked in the garage at home is just fine, but if it\u2019s in a parking lot or parked on the street you could be in for a break in. Always remember to put valuables in the trunk or hide them underneath a blanket in your cargo area to discourage theft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Keeping your car looking great can be a bit of chore, but it&#8217;s worth it for the added safety and protection it will give you!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When most people look at a messy car they feel: A need to clean Annoyed Apathetic And many other feelings.
