The best car seat organisers
Drinks, snacks, books and a tablet within reach of the back seat, instead of rolling round the footwell.

The top 4 at a glance
A car seat organiser gives children in the back somewhere to keep their things other than the footwell. Most hang on the back of a front seat, with the pockets facing the children behind and a clear window so a tablet can be watched and tapped without anyone holding it. A caddy instead sits on the seat itself, for two children to share.
The hanging kind fastens with a strap round the headrest and another under the seat, and the ones here double as a kick mat. The caddy here is held by a seat belt through its handles and leaves the seat backs clear, though it has no tablet pocket.
What matters
- A tablet pocket that fits your tablet and still responds to touch.
- Bottle or cup holders, not just flat pockets.
- Fabric that wipes clean or goes in the washing machine.
- A pair, if both front seats need one.
#1Huckaboo Car Seat Organiser (1 pack)
£10–£20
A neat, plain black organiser with two bottle holders, a hidden zipped pocket, two upper pockets, a main pocket and a screen holder, kept flat by two full-width support bars so the sides don’t sag. It doubles as a kick mat for muddy shoes.
What owners say: Owners like the amount of storage and how snugly it fits, and find it earns its place on long drives; one uses it in a motorhome.
A closer look: Buckle the top strap round the headrest, then pull the bottom strap tight last so the whole thing sits flat against the seat back. Keep heavy things like full bottles low down, near that bottom strap. It needs a front seat with a headrest to hang from, which most cars have.
- Bars stop the sides sagging
- Hidden zipped pocket
- Plain black
Best for: A tidy back seat with a tablet
- Pockets
- 7, incl. 2 bottle holders

#2Lusso Gear Car Seat Organiser Caddy
£10–£20
A different take: a fold-flat caddy that sits on the back seat between two children, with nine compartments, among them four cup holders, two big main sections, mesh pockets and a zipped pocket at the back. The side or middle seat belt clips through its two handles to hold it in place.
What owners say: Owners say it fits the middle seat well and keeps snacks, drinks and toys within reach of both sides, though they’re split on how well it stays put when the car brakes.
A closer look: With nothing hanging from the front seats, it leaves the seat backs clear, and it lifts out by the handles to carry into a holiday cottage or onto a picnic rug. Fold it flat when the middle seat is needed for a passenger. There’s no tablet pocket or kick mat, so it suits children who read or play rather than watch.
- Folds flat
- Zipped rear pocket
- Leaves seat backs clear
- Lifts out by its handles
Best for: Siblings side by side
- Pockets
- 9, incl. 4 cup holders
- Tablet pocket
- No

#3Rightwell Car Seat Organiser (2-pack)
Under £10
A pair, one for the back of each front seat, each with five pockets and a clear window for a tablet up to 10 inches that still responds to touch. The 600D polyester is water-resistant and machine washable.
What owners say: Owners find the pockets roomy enough for a day’s toys and drinks, and take them camping as well as on long drives; the complaints are straps too short for some seats and a few that ripped within weeks.
Heads up: On bigger seats, let the straps right out before buckling up, as some owners find them on the short side.
A closer look: One on each front seat gives two children their own pockets and screen, which saves squabbles on a long trip. A damp cloth deals with everyday scuffs, and both can go through the washing machine after a muddy holiday.
- Tablet works through clear pocket
- Water-resistant fabric
- Machine washable
Best for: Two children, a screen each
- Pockets
- 5 each
- Tablet pocket
- Up to 10in
- Kick-mat protection
- Yes
- Fitting
- Top and bottom straps
- Pack

#4SURDOCA Upgraded Car Seat Organiser
£10–£20
A large organiser in thick 600D Oxford fabric, with eight pockets and a clear TPU tablet pocket for tablets up to 11 inches, with holes for headphones and a charging cable. Oxford fabric takes its name from a 19th-century Scottish mill, which named four of its cloths after universities.
What owners say: Owners praise the many pockets for toys and snacks and find it a real help on long car journeys, though some say it doesn’t line up well with their seat and opinions on how sturdy it is are split.
Heads up: Check the front seats have headrests and a standard shape before fitting: SURDOCA says it may not suit some sports seats.
A closer look: Thread the charging cable through its hole before sliding the tablet in, so it can stay plugged in on a long run without opening the pocket. The waterproof fabric wipes clean, which helps once small shoes have been against it all week.
- Holes for headphones and charging
- Waterproof, wipe-clean fabric
Best for: Larger tablets and lots of pockets
- Pockets
- 8
- Tablet pocket
- Up to 11in
- Kick-mat protection
- Yes
- Fitting
- Top and bottom straps
- Pack
