As the name suggests, Drop Stop gap fillers exist to stop drops. No more dropped popcorn, no more dropped phones, and no more dropped keys – we could go on and on. This option contains two drop gap fillers for the driver and co-pilot seats and a slide-free pad that keeps your phone from sliding around while driving. Also featured is a bonus LED credit card light that won’t distract you or impact your overall driving experience.
Your product must be rock solid to sway Shark Tank’s ruthlessly realistic investors and get them to invest millions of dollars. And that’s what Drop Stop did. We picked this option as our best overall owing to the supreme functionality it provides customers along with its incredible value.
A gap filler that doubles as a multifunctional and compartmentalized storage accessory, that’s precisely what this pick, from Lovely Bamboo, does. What a name, by the way.
Your car’s pretty old school and the manufacturer didn’t think of including coffee cup holders? Well, hold Lovely Bamboo’s beer! This gap filler comes with efficient cup holders of its own. And even if you already have cup holders, you know what they say, the more the merrier. With all the compartments, you can neatly arrange your keys, wires, and phones. Your days of having a messy center console could soon be over.
What immediately strikes us about the Supin gap filler is its unconventional design. At first glance, you might think it’s a gavel of sorts with its long slender arms and detachable coffee-holder head. The cup loop remains flat at the end too, so it won’t disrupt your comfort while sitting. We like this one a lot and hope you will too.
This option, from Supin, has a smooth padded leather finish that comes in different colors. You can match your seat color with the gap filler too, so it naturally blends in; nobody would know it’s an accessory if you don’t tell them. The leather arm also has a strap for seat belt insertion, ensuring no interference with the everyday use of your seat belts.
The Iockscter looks like the product of a meticulous, forward-thinking, and well-thought-out creative process. No wonder it has features we’ve never seen anywhere else – features like a USB port for charging your devices and a double-cup holder design.
With as many compartments as rooms in a historic mansion, you’ll never have to worry about cluttered center spaces that can make driving inconvenient. Did we remember to add that it has a finished, durable plastic design with high-quality impact resistance?
If cars had leather purses or wallets of their own, they’d look exactly like these gap fillers by Lusso. They’re like oversized wallets you can tuck in the crevice between your seat and the center console.
They also include foam spacers, improving their stability inside the gaps while doubling as compartments in the ‘wallet’ space. Anything you can store in your pocket wallet can be stored here: cash, phone, keys, and identification and insurance information, to name just a few. Their durability is over-the-top too, even considering that they’re leather products. You probably won’t be carrying them around too much either, so this option will last for a great deal of time.
In a bit, we’ll tell you some salient features to consider when buying seat gap fillers. But first, you should know that a seemingly innocuous mistake like choosing the wrong space filler for your car might mean the literal difference between life and death. Yes, we mean to scare the living daylights out of you to get you to pay close attention. From the looks of it, it worked.
We aren’t kidding, really. This is very important. The wrong seat organizer, or a completely absent one, can cost you more than you bargained for. Here’s how:
There’s no problem with being a sucker for organization and doing all you can to avoid unnecessary frustration. A gap filler provides you with this to a reasonable extent. But if you think that’s all there is to these products, you might be deluding yourself.
These items have a more vital purpose than just organization, preventing horrific car accidents. Here’s how:
According to Pines Salomon Injury Lawyers, owners, and operators of seriousaccidents.com, distracted driving is the leading cause of all car accidents. According to the CDC, in the US in 2018, over 2800 people were killed, and an estimated 40,0000 were injured in crashes involving distracted drivers. From sending a quick text to looking for your phone that slipped into the seat gap, anything can lead you to take your eyes off the road, even for the shortest amount of time.
For starters, don’t text while driving. Whatever it is, however urgent it seems, it can and should wait. And, some gap fillers cost as low as $30. Something so inexpensive, that can drastically reduce your chances of getting distracted looking for stuff while driving, seems very worth the cost. We strongly advise you to get one. Your safety and your peace of mind more than justify the purchase.
In reading our reviews of some of the premier options available, you must have noticed that while they all share many similarities, they also vary in some way or another. Some have more space, and others have more compartments. Let’s break it down for you.
As bland as it gets, nothing extra. These are simple, spacious, and probably the most affordable you’ll see on the market. Say you’re less into material stuff and prefer basic functionality, or you don’t care a lot about style and finesse, this is your go-to option. It can do the same primary job as any other seat space organizer.
This version has everything single compartment organizers lack. Multiple-compartment organizers are ideal since they offer enough compartments for as many items as you need to arrange. Of course, they come with the downside of being difficult to clean since they accumulate dirt and dust along with their partitions.
Deluxe organizers are what the multiple-compartment variants aspire to be. Not only do they have more space, but they also have compartments like cup holders, pen slots, coin holders, and even USB ports. If you move around with more baggage than astronauts carry on trips to space, you should get one of these.
It’s important to note that personal preferences and purchasing power play an undeniable role in this choice. Nonetheless, here are some parameters we feel you should at least keep in mind before buying something. It’s only appropriate that you do your due diligence for something you’ll be buying for your car, don’t you think?
Probably the most essential thing to consider before making a purchase: what are the specifications of the car seat organizer?
Never mind that we’re adults, some of us will feel restless for the days we used colors that didn’t have to ‘resonate with who we are. That being said, an awful lot of us are suckers for color synchrony. It’s either all black, or all gray, or all some other color, and that’s okay. So, you should ensure that the color of the gap filler you buy matches your car’s interior. Most of them come in black, gray, or dark brown. If your sweet spot is unconventional colors, you might need to request a custom design from the manufacturers.
So long as your car has the configuration of a seat and a center console with a gap in between, you probably have nothing to worry about.
Like most car accessories, car seat gap fillers are detachable and can be washed and dried, and reused later. A simple wipe-down is usually enough.
For as low as $10 can get you a functional version. Like the added safety we talked about earlier, it’s very much worth the investment.
