Another storage box idea for the trunk space.

I have to admit I have these for a while. I want to make sure they "work" well before I post them here.

And yes they work pretty well.





Not terribly an exciting picture to look at. Two storage cases from Ikea called FLÖRT. $8 each I believe.

Foldable. Has velcro on the underside. Zippered top. Water proof.

Great for carrying as an entity when you have multiple purchases in one case.




Comes in a smaller size as well.

I would love if someone made a cargo net for the back I am really annoyed by the groceries that slide down behind the seats and between them on the first stop from the store.

I think there IS a cargo net at the dealer. Anyway, we bought some collapsable cloth boxes at IKEA and they fit tight which means no slipping and since I've been to the grocery store 2x with the smart I can attest to the fact that it works great!



Happy Trails!

yes, but its designed to go across the floor - but I would think you could figure a way for it to go upright across the back as well.

If you get the cargo cover it would keep items in the back so stuff doesn't slide behind your seats. There's also a small net pocket for storing maps, etc.

I thought about the net thing. But it still doesn't prevent prying eyes. I hate that. It's bad enough pple "force" me to roll down windows. Now they want to step up to the car and peek into the car.

um, yea, I did drop by IKEA. Spent $20 and so far it works better than the box only because the box slid around and these babies are wedged in. Still, I liked my box.

Just look at the dealer, they have what you are looking for...
