Suggestions on car toys for baby

At the end of the month we will be taking a trip back to my hometown in NW Wisconsin...it's a looong drive. DS is at the age where he likes something interesting to stare at for a short while but doesn't have the coordination to hold/grasp for an extended period of time, or pick it up if it's in front of him.

What types of toys have you used for a baby - have you attached them to something? I've been trying to think of what would be good to bring along. All of his toys are soft and light, but riding in a convertible with the ARB against the backseat, I don't know if there's a safe way to secure the toys somewhere for him. He has a few small soft wrist rattles which I suppose would work.

For this trip DH and I will likely trade off sitting in the back seat, but it would still be useful when I'm driving alone with him around town.

Thoughts?

When I'm driving and there is no one in the back with DS, I have a bag full of soft toys with me up front and as he needs a new one, I just toss one back to him in his seat. I haven't figured out a way to attach anything safely, either, although haven't put tons of thought into it/

The soft wrist rattle sound like a good idea since he can't drop those. Also, maybe foot rattles? DS likes to chew on his shoes, lol.

Laine sits outboard, so her toys are on rings from the bar. Just soft toys. I've also attached toys to a pacifier holder, and clipped that to her clothes after she's buckled in.
