Best Car Seat Organisers for Busy Families

Having a family is pretty great with all the awesome ‘firsts’ you get to experience, squashy cuddles, and proud moments (like when they go the wrong way in the egg and spoon race on sports day….). However, it also comes with a lot of stuff and a lot of mess, much of which seems to accumulate in the back of the car. So, up steps the Kid Transit car seat organisers. In three different designs, we think they are the best back seat car organizers that you can buy to keep your car tidy, and we have a lot of reasons why!

Organise a messy car

As we have already mentioned, the major point of having car seat storage is to get rid of all the clutter strewn across your back seat. Things soon mount up from a couple of spare nappies you need when your baby decides to fill theirs on a short journey and you haven’t bought the full changing bag, to the books, toys and magazines that might keep them occupied for all of 10 minutes on a long journey. It can be an uphill struggle if you don’t have a good car seat tidy to store it all in.

More importantly, you can put in some snacks (healthy or not depending on how long the journey) to stop the meltdown after the third hour in the car visiting family, as well as a drink or two in the handy side pockets. Some of our car seat organisers have pen holders – a spare biro is always useful and can always be used instead of pencils for older kids.

One of the car organisers also has a little d ring to hold spare dummies or for toys to hang off for little babies to play with. You could even use it to hang a teething toy if your baby is going through that stage.

Here’s a quick video showing the Kid Transit car seat organiser:

Tablet pocket on ALL our back seat organisers

Now, screen time for kids is a big issue and each family will have different limits as to what age and how long kids can use or watch a tablet.

For us, the tablet holder on our car tidy has been a massive plus when we bought the car seat organisers into the Kid Transit range. On long journeys our 2 year old just gets tetchy and no amount of nursery rhymes, books, toys, or snacks stops that. Once the nap has been done (we try to do long trips to coincide with when she is tired), we usually put on Mr Tumble or Teletubbies for a few episodes. Daughter is happy means we are happy.

If you have older kids the tablet holder is really easy to move the tablet in and out of and so they can either watch their favourite shows or play games while holding it on their laps.

Our three different car organizers have different sized tablet holders depending on which version of tablet you own, all the way up to fit an iPad Pro (or other 12″ tablet).

These pockets really have been a great feature of our organisers and get loads of praise from customers with happy kids.

If you don’t have a tablet, these clear pockets are perfect for storing books. When we don’t take the tablet out with us, books go in this pocket and our daughter can easily see (and then ask for) which book she wants to read.

Strong, secure attachments, hardwearing fabric

As with all our Kid Transit products, we work with our manufacturer to make sure all the fabric and attachments are hardwearing and strong. The back seat car organiser has a top strap that goes around the headrest of the front seat and a bottom strap that goes at the bottom of the front seat. The straps have quick release clips as well as being fully adjustable so you can get a nice tight fit to the seat. The bottom strap can’t be felt when sitting in the front seats so no need to worry about anything digging in to your back.

The hardwearing material doubles up as a kick guard for when your kids are bigger. Instead of muddy feet kicking against your smart car upholstery, they will kick against the car seat tidy which can be easily wiped clean.
