When you're in the chaotic throes of raising young kids, certain areas of your life may take a backseat ... like cleaning the backseat of your car.
Many parents find their cars filled with more toys, books and games than a Toys "R" Us and enough Cheerios and Goldfish crumbs to feed a large ant colony. Really sometimes all it takes is one kid-filled car ride to revert the backseat to a frightening state.
We asked the HuffPost Parents Facebook community for photos of their "mobile trash cans" ... er, messy cars, and many moms and dads dared to share their child-induced, crumb- and toy-filled vehicular chaos.
