My sister and her family live in the next state over and we try to make the 2 hour drive to visit them as often as possible. My kids love their cousins (including the two dog-cousins) and time is the only thing holding us back from making more trips to hang out.
We've done the drive dozens of times and know the roads between our two houses (and which exits to take – or not take – when there's a need for a potty break) fairly well. We also know that for some reason we need to pack extra clothes whenever we make the drive. As short as the drive is, we tend to have really bad luck when it comes to stinky messes.
One time, when KitKat had a relatively new driver's permit, she was using some of the drive to practice her highway driving skills. We needed to stop for gas, so she pulled over and filled the van up. Unfortunately, the gas pump sprayed gas all over her pants and shoes…which meant that the entire car had to smell her gas-soaked clothes for the next hour and a half until we got to my sister's house. Stinky!
Another time, as we were heading back home after a fun day of eating cupcakes with the cousins (among other adventures, of course), AJ announced that he wasn't feeling well. Before I could pull over, he started vomiting. As hard as we worked to clean the mess up at the nearest gas station before driving the rest of the way home, the smell was horrible. And it didn't go away for months, even though we scrubbed and sprayed and aired it out. The evidence was long gone but the smell lingered. Ugh.
And then there are the cases of the forgotten french fries under the seats….or the stinky socks thrown in the back. Kids are stinky and my car's primary job is to cart kids around. Stink is inevitable.
This past week, I've been trying out PERK Vent Wraps, and I'm amazed at the difference they have made. My favorite scent is the Golden Vanilla Vent Wrap – it's sweet but not over-bearing.

We’ve the baby and also a dog and also a man and they also all play a role for some reason to many weird occassional scents in my vehicle.
I’ve got any young child plus a puppy plus a spouse and they many add for some reason with a peculiar occassional aromas inside my car.
my brother borrows the car and brings it back smelling like smoke really bad its nasty
I cart around 4 kids and a stinky dog. For some reason my sense of smell has been enhanced the last few years and my car stinks. I could REALLY use something to help alleviate the smell.
I could really use these Perk vent wraps because my 11 yr old son will pass gas anywhere anytime all day long :(
Our cars need a PERK Vent Wrap because they get smelly.
My husband has a tendency to leave my sons juice cups in the car..sometimes with milk in the summer..yuck
I have a toddler and a dog and a husband and they all contribute somehow to some odd occassional smells in my car.
