I have used these for a few days and found them very high-quality and useful. Two car seat gap filler cubbies are included, one for each seat on the front. In my recent Mazda CX-30, the driver’s side one fits perfectly and securely, and does not interfere with putting on or removing my seatbelt. It’s just amazingly good! The passenger side one fits a bit loosely but is still okay; in my photo I have a cup-style trash can placed in the cup holder.
Speaking of which, the cup holders are small and best for a coke can or shaker bottle or a small paper coffee cup. They are also on the shallow side so should not be used to hold anything that spills during motion. (The trash can is a perfect use!)
The slots are useful for holding an iPhone, a power bank, key cards or gate clickers, cash, coins, keys, glasses, etc. Really versatile for small items.
Finally, the package (which is very nicely packed almost like a Valentine’s gift LOL) includes three bonus items: a thick microfiber cloth and two headrest hooks for backseat passengers — see my last photo.

This is a very sturdy organizer and fits very well between the seat and console gap. Not a good fit for drinks but easily can store sunglasses, etc.

I put these in our 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser. These are made the right way with sturdy plastic. The anchor part at the bottom is thick and able to keep the unit horizontal and stable. I wish the cup holders were about 1/2 cm wider so I can fit my water bottle. However, regular size soda-type cans will fit snug. I like the partitions because they keep my phone, keys, credit cards, cough drops, etc all well organized.
Keep in mind that if your car has small seats, any car-seat organizer is most likely going to encroach upon your seat. Also, if you get a car-seat organizer that does not have sturdy plastic in the frame, the organizer will probably fall when you load it up with stuff.
I use the optional gear shifter a lot in our Land Cruiser. Now, I can move my drink from the Toyota cupholders so my arm is no longer hindered as I gear down in heavy traffic or emergency situations (which happens a lot on the roads).
On our last road trip which was the first time I used this organizer. I drove 2,828 miles. These organizers stayed in place and held whatever I put in there. Again, I have big seats in the Land Cruiser so the organizers do not invade my leg area. I moved my seat often with the organizer loaded… they kept their position. I highly recommend these if you have the right vehicle… and you are not horribly obese. I’m 6′ and weigh 175lbs.

Theses slide-in organizers are made of rigid plastic. They work as intended but take up space along the side of the seat. The cup holder sticks out and rubs against my leg when in place. The cup holder area is too small to be useful as a cup holder. I have the one on the passenger side pushed back toward the seat back where it fits firmly.

Easy to install, size is smaller of my truck ford f150 xlt crew cab, quality is durable, performance is good and the stability is even, coz if i put my bottle water on it it will slide, it will not hold the filler, but its good for smaller car i think, nice, i’ve been using it until now, thank you

It was a little too big for my car, but the good thing was it fit great in my husband’s car. He really loves it.

So it kind of fails at what I would consider its main purpose, which is to prevent stuff from falling through the gap. It’s too small to cover the entire gap and pretty much utterly fails to cover where the seatbelt connects, which is the hardest place to extract things that drop through.
The cup holder is too small for anything larger than a 12oz can. If you have a coffee cup, forget about it. Yet it still impinges on my leg even though the car is an SUV with relatively large seats. In my other car I have a different gap filler that admittedly has less storage than this one, but the cup holder is larger, farther forward (in fact it’s just in front of the seat) and sits lower. It doesn’t interfere nearly as much as this one does.
The other thing I don’t like is that when I adjust the seat forward or backward it seems to scrape the console. I worry that this will leave marks at some point, though exactly where the scraping is happening might be below where it would be visible. I haven’t spent that much time looking into it yet. If I keep this I will probably need to figure that out.
On the positive side, it is much nicer looking than the other ones I’ve had, although the other ones are less visible so that wasn’t really much concern. It also has a decent amount of storage space and in my bZ4X (which doesn’t even have a glove compartment!) the storage space comes in handy. That’s the reason I bought it and I think it is well engineered for this purpose.
I think it could be improved by making it longer, having the cup holder extend in front of the seat and then have the part that wedges between the seat and the console made of a softer material that wouldn’t scrape and could wrap around the seat belt connector. Maybe that would be hard to do in a universal way that would fit smaller vehicles so you’d have to have different sizes. Oh well, I can wish can’t I!
I have yet to find the perfect gap filler. It’s pretty much guaranteed to have trade offs because of space considerations. This one makes compromises that some will like and others will hate. YMMV.

Bulkier than I expected. Might just be my console shape. Really useful however for all the things that fall through or take up space… Phones, change, water bottle. Now we can have a place for our coffees and water while on the road.

Does what it says in description, if it moves too much forward the weight of a drink will cause it to tilt but not really a big deal
