I always have some in the car in the winter.


My car contains an entire duffel bag full of spare clothes, outerwear, and a nearly new pair of boots. It takes up a lot of trunk space but I think it's worth it. My oldest daughter loves it too; I keep a sweater in there that she likes to snuggle with when sleeping during a long drive.
