There are several things that you can do. You can remove them and put them into a cupboard as you have been doing, but that takes up valuable cupboard space. You can buy sticky pads and they would hold them fast (I have a couple that I use). You can also remove the items and put them into a box or plastic bin while in transit. I have a bunch of these bins that they sell at grocery stores here. They are used instead of bagging your groceries and are very handy.

When we get to our destination, the bin goes into the truck for any shopping we might do. These things have carrying straps and are very neat!

While in transit, the bin rides on one of the recliners or on the couch. I put all the other loose items in there as well, like pictures, decor items, etc.

By the way, I use a check list when we pack up to go, and collect loose items is on the list.
