I bought one and I will share my initial thoughts in case anyone else is wondering.
The reviews say it's flimsy and it is ... but I don't want anything heavy for safety reasons, so I think I'm okay with that. However, I don't understand why they don't have a solid (covered cardboard) panel insert for the bottom like every other collapsible bin I own. I'll probably be cutting a piece of cardboard to add my own. It does have solid panels on the ends that help somewhat.
It fits perfectly between our two car seats in our small backseat. I think many of these types of organizers would be too big.
It looks like it will fit a decent amount of stuff. It has a bunch of small pockets around the sides that seem useful. However, most of it's space is contained in one large undivided compartment and I think a divider lengthwise along the middle would have been nice. Also I would have liked the sides to come up a bit higher so that those coloring books could stand up more easily.
Finally, I think it straps in! On the outside of the rear end it has this strange panel that fastens (with velcro) down and the only use for it that I can think of is to hold onto that middle seatbelt, as in thread the lapbelt inside it and velcro it down. Does anyone know. I feel like this thing should have had some instructions with it, but there was nothing.
So ... so far my list of pros and cons are:
PROS:
Lightweight (not a heavy projectile)
Attaches to unused seat belt (hopefully not a projectile at all
)
Many little pockets around the sides for better organization
Fits great between two car seats in small back seat
CONS:
Kind of flimsy
The smaller size that fits our small back seat also means storage is limited.
I think we'll be fairly happy with it. I was just happy to find something that would fit without paying a fortune. But I will be interested to see how it functions once we've used it for a while.
I hope this helps someone. If I remember, I'll report back on how it works out for us and how it holds up.
