Grocery Hooks for cargo area?

[asellus]

Are there any ideas floating around yet for hook solutions in the cargo area? Haven't really seen anything yet.

No idea. I'm getting those cargo tie downs for my dog's car crate, and then throwing the grocery bags in the back seat or into her crate if she's not with me. Usually, this means a few dozen round produce items rolling around in the car for a bit, unfortunately.

I have one of these in the back of both my SUV's. They're great for grocery bags and other things that can roll around.

does it collapse into practically nothing when not in use?

There's a video of it right there on Amazon...

I got some of these at Costco recently (and have used similar crates before).

These are cool because they have the picnic lid so they can be used open or closed. My wife and I each keep one in our car in case we need it, but usually groceries just get packed however they fit, right in the shopping bags. Delicate stuff might go in the back seat, or now that I have a sub-trunk, under the floor.

I can't believe we're at the RTFM for Amazon listings......

I use reusable rectangular shopping bags like these as well as similar insulated bags for the colder items.

No items roll around this way, plus they work well in Costco shopping carts, making it easier to move it all to the car.

With a really catchy tune.

honestly, I'm surprised people click through the eleventy AI-generated photos and videos on the shenzhen specials on Amazon. looks like a neat product, and, shockingly, the video does show it collapses for a split second!

now to find a way to strap it in..

Honestly, I haven't found the need to strap it down. If you put it straight down on the carpet, the velcro strips on the bottom are actually enough to keep the thing steady. Once you start loading it up, the added weight makes it even steadier. In one of my cars it's on a cargo mat and it still doesn't move around. Now, if you take sharp corners at 60mph, then yea, straps might help

yeah fair enough. I think I have some industrial non-slip sheets I can lay down, too. been meaning to drop those into my wagon for a while now..

I have all-weather cargo mats in our vehicles, and I use a collapsible crate (similar to the one linked earlier in here). Even without the benefit of Velcro, given the rubberized nature of an all-weather mat, I don't have any issues with it sliding around or tipping over once there's some weight in it.

Speaking of carpet/Velcro, I couldn't imagine leaving the cargo area's carpeted floor exposed or putting another carpeted mat on top. Spills happen, dirt happens, funky kid stuff happens -- at least with an all-weather mat, you can just pull it out and rinse it off with a hose.

there's another thread where someone posted the preorder of Liner X cargo trays; they look decent. my order window is Dec - Feb so it's too early for me to order one now
