What things have you bought to improve your travels in the Sienna with kids?

What items (like from Amazon or other places) have made your trips in the Sienna better with kids? Things like iPad holders, trash cans, or any other accessories that have helped? Thanks

I don’t have kids, but here are some items I bought that I found really useful. If anything broke, I’d get them again without a second thought.

Ecarzo Upgraded Tray Phone Holder (compatible with 2021-2024) – this fits perfectly over the LCD display and looks like it’s part of the car. I use it for my sunglasses.
Ecarzo 2025 Upgraded Console Bottom Organizer (compatible with 2021-2025) – it helps organize the bottom of the center console. It’s like it came with the car.
EMZ Leather Center Console Armrest Cushion Pad (compatible with 2021-2024) – I got the grey one, and while it’s not a perfect match, it blends in well. It makes resting my right elbow much more comfortable.
TOPINSTALL Center Console Organizer (compatible with 2021-2024) – it’s a bit tricky to get in and out, but it’s great for storing things in the console. It has a coin space, but I wouldn’t use it since taking the tray in and out is a hassle. I’d definitely buy this type of tray again.

I hope this helps you with accessories for your Sienna. We got ours in February 2024, and these items have made a big difference for me.

Thanks for the detailed suggestions. These are definitely some items I’m considering. Choosing the right one can feel like a gamble sometimes.

I’m particularly interested in the tray for over the LCD display, and I’m unsure about the other organizers and the armrest pad.

A lot of accessories won’t work for my family after converting the van for a wheelchair ramp (I’m spending a lot on floor mats, and only the driver and passenger get them).

For now, I mostly care about accessories for the front seats.

Could you post links for each of these when you get a chance? I have a 2024 Platinum and would like to get them.
Thanks in advance!

The other person posted links to the Ecarzo items, and I found many of the same suggestions on Amazon as well. It seems like there are only 2-3 brands, and you can choose based on the shape you prefer.

These 3W floor mats are a must-have if you have kids. They cover the sides by the doors and have tabs that fit under all the rails. They stop crumbs from getting under the mats.

I also got this from Ikea to use as a garbage can, and it fits perfectly under the middle console cubby.

I use this for extra organization in the same cubby.

We use a trash can/organizer that hangs from the front seat headrest. My kids can put their trash in it. It also has pockets for napkins and those hospital-style bags for car sickness. My oldest uses one of the pockets for her water bottle.
