Best accessories for Lexus RX family road trips?

For that route, I’d spend the money on keeping the back seat contained rather than adding more gadgets. Make sure anything on the seat backs is slim and secured, since bulky organizers can rattle or interfere with rear visibility.

• WeatherTech CargoTech Cargo Containment System Custom Fit or a basic RX cargo liner to stop spills and snack debris.
• Lebogner Back Seat Organizer Waterproof Kick Mat for tablets, wipes, water bottles, and the random stuff kids collect.
• FH Group Car Window Shade Mesh Universal 2-Pack for the July sun; check that it doesn’t obstruct the driver’s view.
• Anker 525 Car Charger 67W 2-Port USB-C with short cables, so nothing hangs across the console. I’d skip cheap hard plastic organizers—they tend to buzz on rough Montana roads. Watch for WeatherTech sales, too; you can probably keep this setup around $200-$250.

> “In my experience, the best setup is simple and secured firmly.” I agree with the secured part, but I’d skip bulky seat-back organizers altogether. We used one on a long drive and a tablet or water bottle became a surprisingly solid projectile when we braked hard. For the RX, I’d suggest a soft center-seat organizer like High Road CarHop Center Console Car Organizer Soft-Sided Storage instead; it keeps snacks and wipes contained without hanging in the kids’ faces. For the cargo area, a fitted net has been more useful than another big bin. Lexus Genuine RX Cargo Net Elastic Trunk Organizer keeps small bags from sliding around corners and doesn’t block the rear window. I’d also add a small roll of reusable cable ties and keep every loose item below the seat-back line. Boring, but much safer and quieter.

In my experience, the best setup is simple and secured firmly:

• Covercraft UVS100 Custom Windshield Sun Shade for 2022 Lexus RX (about $70). It fits tightly, folds neatly, and helps keep the cabin and child seats cooler.
• Lusso Gear Heavy-Duty Backseat Car Organizer with Tablet Holder (about $35). The zippered pockets are useful for snacks and small toys; I’d avoid loading the tablet pocket unless it’s firmly secured.
• Husky Liners Weatherbeater Cargo Liner for 2022 Lexus RX (about $130). It has raised edges for spills and doesn’t slide around like many universal mats.
• UGREEN 69W USB-C Car Charger Dual Port (about $25), paired with short, braided cables. Route cables along the seat edge so nothing hangs near feet or seat tracks. Keep heavy items on the cargo floor, not the seat backs, and check that no organizer or shade blocks the driver’s rear view.
