From sandy feet to scorchingly hot seatbelt clips, summer comes with a whole slew of tiny (but terrible) problems.

Traveling is hard enough as it is, especially if you have little ones, so why not learn a few tips and tricks that’ll make life so much less of a hassle? I don’t know about you, but vacations like beach outings and road trips are particularly maddening, so I know I’ll be using these 20 hacks that cover those bases and plenty more!
