Going away in a car can be an uncomfortable experience at the best of times. There is a whole family to pack in there, usually, plus all the assorted bags and suit cases and bits of extra luggage and books and toys that go with. When Christmas rolls around the experience can be twice as crammed. There are presents piled up everywhere on the way out and of course once the kids have opened their little haul on the big day itself, the room you thought would be freed up by having delivered all your presents, is taken up by all the new stuff your kids have been given. There is an answer to this problem, mind. Car top boxes safe, secure and stylish are the way to beat those Christmas visit blues.
There are multiple advantages to using a car top box, all of which relate either to comfort, safety or security. First up, comfort. If you use a roof box for your car then you can stow as much luggage as you want in it (or of course presents). An average car top box will hold as much again as your boot, meaning that you can travel without any clutter in the body of the car, and everyone gets a much nicer journey.
Next up: safety. If you use a car top box, you are removing the "need" to stack your boot and parcel shelf so high with stuff that you have no hope of actually seeing out of the rear window. Car top boxes can actually save your life, from this point of view. If you can see properly you have much more time to react on those icy winter roads. A clear field of all round vision can honestly be the difference between having an accident and having a safe journey. Using a car top box also negates the other danger present with an over filled boot which is that the boot lid pops open halfway down the motorway and you shed your load through all three lanes. It can and does happen and when it does, you will be causing an accident that affects a lot more lives than simply your own.
How about security? Car top boxes make life convenient for a lot more reasons than simple space saving. If you stow your gear or your presents or whatever in a roof top box, you can take the lot inside with you wherever you go you just disconnect the box and take it into the house. That means that you do not have to leave anything valuable in your car over night: you simply transport all valuable stuff in to wherever you are staying and then you don't have to worry any more.
Buying a car top box is easy enough. These days you will be able to do it online with as much ease as if you wandered into a high street store and picked one off the shelf. Simply key in your car make, year and model and you will find a list of all the available car top boxes pops up. Pick the one you like best and have a safer, more convenient Christmas.
