Travel Accessories – Comfort & Organisation in the Car

On the road: a softer seatbelt for long drives

Hours behind the wheel make small irritations feel bigger, and a seatbelt strap rubbing against your neck is one of them. The ErgoBelt padded seatbelt pad puts 4 mm of foam between the strap and your shoulder, wrapped in embossed PU leather. It slips onto the shoulder strap in seconds, without tools, fits most seatbelts and comes in five finishes. Fit a second one on the passenger side and the holiday starts more comfortably for both of you.

At every stop: shade for the dashboard

Lunch at a service area, an afternoon at the beach, a day of sightseeing: on holiday, the car often waits for hours in full sun. The SunShield foldable windscreen sun shade opens like an umbrella in one move, fits around the rear-view mirror and covers the windscreen edge to edge. When it is time to go, it folds into its pouch and slips into the door pocket, so it never competes with the luggage for boot space.

What to pack for a road trip

• For the driver: a seatbelt pad in the finish that matches your interior.
• For sunny stops: a sun shade in the right size, Standard 140 × 79 cm for most city cars, saloons and compacts, or Large 145 × 83 cm for SUVs, MPVs and vans.
• Before you leave: measure the inside width and height of your windscreen to pick the shade.
