The Best Car Accessories for Moms this Mother’s Day

Mothers have one of the most challenging, yet essential jobs on this planet—raising the citizens that’ll go on to be our nation’s leaders, inventors, and future wave of auto enthusiasts. Where would we be without Carroll Shelby’s mother? Chip Foose’s? Lewis Hamilton’s? The automotive landscape, as we know it, wouldn’t look nearly the same without these important figures and their mothers.

​This Mother’s Day, in addition to staple gifts like flowers, brunch dates, and wine tastings, gift the mothers in your life—whether your own, your children’s, or otherwise—a gift they’ll actually use daily.

​RealTruck carries the best selection of car accessories for moms this Mother’s Day, delivering superb fitment, easy installations, and unmatched utility for the busiest moms. Whether she drives a soccer-team-hauling SUV, a car-pooling mini-van, or an adventurous overland Jeep®, RealTruck has the parts and accessories to keep her ride safe from anything—even stinky dogs, muddy cleats, and spilled post-game snacks.

Unless the moms in your life are certified gearheads, shopping for auto accessories can be a challenge. Ideally, you’ll want to select a product that accomplishes a few select goals, including:​

• Making her life easier

• Protecting her car from life’s everyday messes

• Improving aesthetics

• Enhancing utility

The following accessory ideas accomplish at least one of these goals (and in most cases, multiple).

Being a mom is a messy job. Dirty dogs, careless kids, and clumsy partners can quickly wreck a once-clean interior.

Our floor mats and liners are built to work as hard as the moms in your life—make their lives a little easier with top-quality floor protection.

That mess doesn’t just stay confined to the floor. Usually, spilled snacks and drinks hit a couple of interior pieces on the way down—like the seats. Whether their mom-mobile sports pristine leather or fresh cloth upholstery, seat covers help to keep the interior in top shape. These accessories also make cleaning more efficient, as most can be removed in minutes and are machine-washable.

From $126.99

Continuing with the theme of protection, cargo liners help to keep a vehicle’s entire interior—even the cargo area—clean and tidy. Sports equipment, groceries, and muddy paws can quickly take their toll on factory cargo carpeting—however, premium cargo liners from RealTruck safeguard factory materials, rinse off easily, and capture spills. For busy moms, every second of the day counts. The less time they’ll need to spend cleaning up their cargo area, the better.

From $101.99

Groceries, first aid kits, spare sports gear—trunk organizers help to keep a well-stocked mom-mobile’s trunk or cargo area organized and ready for the next task at hand. For moms who are always on the move, trunk organizers help to ensure that everything you need throughout the day is easy to find, easily accessible, and ready to go.

Messes aren’t the only thing you should protect the interior from. Sun shades are an excellent addition to any mom-mobile, safeguarding the interior from UV exposure to prevent fading, sun damage, and excessive heat buildup—there’s nothing worse than loading a hot car full of sweaty soccer players after a tough game.

​These accessories are affordable, easy to install and remove, and offer serious utility. Plus, the extra shade may help mom grab a couple of minutes of sleep while the kids are at sports practice.

Husky Liners Custom-Fit Sunshades aren’t your average, everyday UV protector. Engineered for maximum heat and UV reflection, these shades are custom-cut for particular applications and feature durable multi-layer construction, including a reflective outer layer and insulating foam core.

​Installation and removal take just seconds with the foldable, accordion-style design. When not in use, the sunshade tucks neatly beneath seats or in door cards to keep the back seat free for kids, friends, pets, or anything else mom is transporting that day.

Moms can’t ever be too prepared. Skinned knees, bug bites, and other small injuries are part of every child’s life, and having a fully stocked nurse’s office in the back of mom’s SUV can make any child feel safe and cared for. RealTruck’s selection of first aid kits ensures maximum preparedness and makes a terrific gift this Mother’s Day.

Most first aid kits come filled with oddly-sized bandages, lotions, and creams you likely won’t ever use. Instead of buying a pricey pre-assembled kit, consider building a personalized pack with the RealTruck XVenture Gear First Aid Roll. Fill this compact, versatile pack with your favorite bandages, first-aid ointment, sanitizing sprays, and child-friendly pain relievers to make sure the mother in your life is prepared for the worst.

There’s nothing worse than coming out of the grocery store or a long day at work to a dead car battery. Whether the result of a map light left on or a game system left plugged into an always-hot 12V plug, having a way to restart your vehicle without calling for help is a critical feature most moms should have at their fingertips.

​That’s where a jump starter comes in handy. These accessories provide a quick boost to the battery for starting, allowing the alternator to take over and fully recharge the depleted battery. 

With a 20,000 mAh capacity and 1,600 amps of peak power, the aFe Portable Battery Jump Starter offers exceptional power for its compact size. With a built-in LED flashlight, an IP68 rating, and an operating temperature range of -4°F to 140°F, this jump starter can handle jump-starting virtually every model in any climate.

​When time is limited between school, sports practices, and errands, the aFe Portable Battery Jump Starter ensures mom will be back on the road in no time.

Kids in the backseat need a place to keep their gear, snacks, and toys, and unfortunately, the shallow factory map pockets (if equipped) just don’t cut it. Rather than deal with a messy back seat, buy mom an intuitive seatback organizer this Mother’s Day. 

Seatback organizers outfit the backside of the front seats with various-sized storage pockets and compartments, allowing moms to efficiently store snacks, tablets, toys, and more. As a bonus, seatback organizers protect the rear of the seats, preventing damage from spills, abrasions, or toddler kicks. 

The Covercraft Seatback Organizer is a durable, easy-to-install, and practical addition to any interior—especially for moms on the go. Featuring heavy-duty polycotton construction, this seatback organizer is abrasion- and weather-resistant for years of reliable use. Covercraft offers its seatback organizers in five colors to complement any interior finish. Installation is quick and easy, requiring no modifications to the seat and taking only minutes. ​

With gift ideas handled, it’s time to turn our attention to Mother’s Day activities. For the second half of the celebration, it’s all about doing thoughtful things that the mothers in your life will appreciate.

Turn a single celebratory day into a weekend of fun with a family camping adventure. Whether you’re an outdoorsy family that’s comfortable in a tent-only campsite, or luxury glampers towing a full-size RV with your RealTruck-equipped ride, a camping trip is an excellent way to spend Mother’s Day without distraction.

Can’t afford to take off a full weekend? Go on a day trip with the family instead. Swoop a space at your favorite park, pick out some nice sand at the beach, or trek to your favorite day-use campsite with a cooler full of snacks and drinks.

Only have the evening free? Check your area for a drive-in movie theatre to enjoy an exciting evening under the stars. Bring some blankets, pillows, bed lights, and a Husky Liners Guardian Comfort bed mat for extra padding.

Nothing’s better than a day by the shore. Whether you spend Mother’s Day tanning, cruising the boat around the water, or grilling at a lakeside day-use campsite, take a trip to the water for a great time and an even better waterside view.

​RealTruck’s bed liners and cargo liners make sand and moisture easy to clean, while coolers and awnings help fend off the heat on hot days.

Local farmers' markets aren’t just an ideal place to buy organic, locally-grown and produced foods—they’re also a terrific destination on Mother’s Day. Take the family out to the local outdoor market for fresh pastries, craft coffees, and a grocery haul of unique snacks and treats. On the trip home, truck bed liners and cargo liners help to keep everything in place and prevent spills from homemade packaging.

Is the mother you’re celebrating a sports fan? While tickets to a game of their favorite team are a great gift idea, expanding that celebration with a Mother’s Day tailgate party will push things over the top!

​Round up her favorite team, food, and people, and set up the perfect tailgate spread right from the truck bed. Whether it's a backyard setup or a stadium parking lot with a HitchFire grille, a tailgate party is a fun, low-stress way to get the whole family together outdoors.

​This Mother’s Day, diversify the regular spread of flowers, brunch, and shopping sprees with accessories she’ll use every day. And with some accessories, hit the road for a trip she won’t ever forget.
