Trick out Your Cargo Area

Highland's three-bin organizer features removable totes that nestle into each compartment, making for easy transport of groceries, toys and sports gear. Organizing tip: Label your kids' names on each compartment, and have them return their stuff to their bin each time they bring something along for the car ride. When it's full, have them sort it out at home and return each item to where it belongs.
