The Hauck Organize Me is a rear seat car organiser, designed to fit between two car seats. It has more than enough room to hold all the daily accessories that usually travel with a child, as well as providing storage for your child’s toys and activities on longer car journeys.

The Organize Me is packaged in a sturdy bright cardboard box that has pictures of the product in use, giving ideas of what you could store in it, and how to configure the compartments.

Upon removing the organiser from the box you simply need to unfold it and it is ready to be used. Initially the organiser is configured as 2 rectangular compartments split by an inner divider that usefully doubles as a carry handle for easy loading in and out of your car. Should you need more compartments for storage, you simply reconfigure the organiser by pushing the lining towards the inner divider where it secures by the use of Velcro. It can be configured to have up to 6 square internal compartments. It’s a huge plus that you can configure the inner compartments to your exact requirements.

Storage is maximized by the inclusion of mesh pockets on the outer of the organiser. There are 3 mesh pockets on each side of the outer allowing for storage of smaller items. I used them for pencils and biscuits that I didn’t want rolling around in the main compartment getting hidden or squashed. At the front are two insulated pockets for holding drinks. The pockets comfortably fit sports type bottles although aren’t so good at fitting sippy cups with handles. The top of the pockets is elasticated so while a younger child may be able to get their drink out of the pocket, they could struggle to put it back in.

The Organize Me is made of a thick, black, heavy, canvas like material. My first impression is that it appears very robust, solid, hardwearing and feels like a quality piece of kit. The material is UV resistant, anti-slip, water repellent and wipeable which is a necessity for any item that is going to be in use by a child in a car. I’ve lost count of the number of drink spillages, crumbs and car sickness episodes my daughter has had whilst travelling and due to this would not even consider using anything in the car that isn’t easy to clean. It sits nicely on the middle backseat of the car so can be in easy reach of a seat either side of your car. To be secured it is a very simple job of fastening a sturdy Velcro tab around your middle back seatbelt, and it is unlikely to be undone by a child. I didn’t find the organiser slipped around at all, and it stayed in place our entire journey.

I found it extremely useful as my daughter tends to let go of things she is holding while in the car and this can often result in lots of unscheduled stops to retrieve her cuddly toy, drink or dummy from the floor of the car. By using the Organize Me she has somewhere to safely store her toys and is happy that they are remaining close to her, and I am happy that my car will stay relatively tidy and that I know where everything is.

I would prefer it if the Organize Me was available in different colours other than black, to match different car interiors, or even with an interesting theme or characters to make it more appealing for children.

In my opinion the Organize Me is good value for money as it could be in use for years. You get a quality car tidy that would be useful to have on the backset of your car no matter the age of your child or the length of the trip. From being able to store toddler toys to teenager’s gadgets the Organize Me is an invaluable piece of kit for keeping travel essentials close to hand and your car tidy.
