I have a bit of a confession to make, I have a bit of a thing for organisational tools and accessories. We got a new car back in September and we’re planning on a family holiday to France this year, which of course will involve lots of time in the car. I have been quite determined to keep our new car neat and tidy – let’s face it, it doesn’t make much for a car to descend into a muddy, food packet mess when you have children! So far I have managed very well, but I know France will be a challenge.
I was sent the Kid Transit Car Organiser with iPad Holder for review which seemed to be the answer to my problem. It comes with a holder for an iPad, a large pocket which is great for books and four smaller pockets on the side. It is attached to the front car seats via a strap around the headrest and the lower part of the seat.
The organiser was very easy to attach to the seat a simply clip in strap around the seat in front. I was worried that sitting in the driver’s seat the lower strap would press into my back, but I couldn’t feel it at all. The plastic sleeve held my 10inch iPad, but it is a close fit. I normally keep my iPad in a silicone case and I had to take it out out the silicone case in order to get it to fit. We actually have an in-car DVD player that attaches to the head rest and I did wonder if the screens for this would fit into the iPad sleeve, but unfortunately they didn’t. But this doesn’t concern me because if we are using the DVD player I can just have extra items in the iPad sleeve – extra storage!

The large pocket underneath is good for books, although I tried to fit some children’s magazines in and that didn’t work as they were too tall and overlapped the iPad. Which is probably the one thing I would change about the design of this organiser, because my children do enjoy magazines on a car journey. The side pockets would be great for all sorts from drinks and snacks, to crayons and baby wipes. Much better, in my opinion than to have them scattered all over the floor or in a random bag you have to hunt around for. So, all in all a really fab product for long car journeys to help keep your car neat and tidy.
