The seatback pocket is a convenient item for storing luggage in the back seat of your car. Since it is mounted on the backrest of the front seat, it adds storage space and allows you to spend comfortable time without taking up space on your feet or seat.
However, there are differences in storage capacity, function and design, and many people do not know what kind of seatback bag to choose. So this time, we’ll cover how to choose a seatback bag and recommended products.
Let’s see how much luggage can be stored in the pockets mounted on the seatback pockets. Depending on the product, there are types with various functions such as storage pockets for smartphones and tablets, tissue box covers, and insulated and cooler pockets.
For long drives or when you have small children, products with smartphone and tablet storage pockets are recommended. Some products even allow you to operate the screen while the device is in your pocket. Products with hot and cold pockets facilitate long drives and outdoor activities.
There are also various types of products, such as those with storage space that can be used as plastic bottle holders and trash cans.
Check if the table is present
Some products have a simple table in the seatback pocket, so check it out. Having a table makes it easier to eat, or to store luggage when your hands are full, or devices like tablets.
The table is essentially foldable, so it doesn’t take up too much space when not in use. If you want to put heavy luggage on the table, also check how much weight it can hold.
Something with a USB port
We recommend using a seatback pocket with a USB port to charge devices such as smartphones and tablets sitting in the back seat. Use power by extending the cable from the cigarette lighter socket near the driver’s seat.
Devices such as smartphones tend to run out of battery power when used before driving or going out. If you have a USB port, you can charge it while you’re driving so you can rest easy even when you’re on the go. Plus, you don’t have to worry about running out of battery power while operating your smartphone or tablet or watching a movie while you’re on the bike.
Check the design
For seatback pockets, choose a product that matches the seat material and the atmosphere of the car. For example, there are various types of products such as those that use luxurious faux leather fabrics, those that use Scandinavian style and popular character designs, etc.
Families with young children can enjoy driving more by choosing products with their favorite character designs. For cars used mainly by adults, you can create a stylish atmosphere by choosing seat back pockets with simple designs.
