For those who have drawn up a plan to pack up and hit the road to visit friends, family, or explore somewhere other than your hometown as we step into spring and summertime, there's a list of things to consider to make road trips safer, organized and, overall, more bearable.

We've gathered all the essentials you'd need to consider before taking to the road, from ways to keep you organized, especially if you are traveling with young passengers, to roof storage boxes and bicycle brackets so you're not cramming everything into the backseat. We also suggest having safety kits, especially a first-aid kit and road safety kit if someone gets injured or you break down on the highway.

If you're taking a picnic and don't want to have to pull over at the truck stops to buy disposable bottles of water, we've also included the tools to keep liquids and food cold for hours on end.

See below for a list of what we consider essentials for road trips in warm weather.
