Drop stop from Shark Tank

As a writer and editor who deals with organizing and cleaning up beats, I can’t get enough of a good problem-solving product. And I thought I knew (and bought) them all: the clear shoe boxes to store everything from light bulbs to gift bows. The divided organizers for junk drawer bliss. The lazy Susans for my herbs and spices. You know the drill. But then I came across a solution to an annoying problem and it really impressed me: the Drop Stop. This brilliant $25 gizmo, sent from heaven, fills the gap between your car seat and the center console. You know, the abyss that swallows everything from pens to chicken nuggets and everything in between. Literal.

Drop Stop Car Seat Gap Filler

Made from soft neoprene, the Drop Stop conforms to the opening of any car, adjusting to a gap from a quarter inch to 31/2 inches. And the material wipes clean easily (I know this because a Werther’s Original jumped out of my mouth onto the Drop Stop – but at least it didn’t fall into the opening, never to be seen again!).

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve dropped my iPhone into the abyss. And then I had to dig it out, scratch my hands and mess up my manicure or worse, have to stop the car to move the chair and dig it up (talk about first world problems).

As seen on my favorite show of all time, Shark Tank, the Drop Stop seat hole filler solves your butterfinger problems from now and forever. And it’s a lot safer than looking for things while you’re driving.

Not convinced it’s necessary? You may need to grab a flashlight and look into the crevices of your car to see what’s inside. Then we’ll talk.

Now let’s discuss all the random things that could fall into the hole: credit cards, keys, loose change, earrings, mascara, almonds, bottle caps, pens, gum, candy wrappers, mints, rings, gummi worms. Need I say more?

As a mother of two, I’m always in the car taking the little ones back and forth. And the things that have fallen into that gap are incredible. From lanyards to Shopkins to M&Ms and markers, the list goes on. But not anymore!

Because the Drop Stop is black, like the rabbit hole, it’s nice and discreet – I hardly notice it’s there. To install, just slide it over the belt buckle (there is a slot). It even moves with the chair when you move forward or backward.

Each package comes with two universally fitting Drop Stops – one for the driver’s side and one for the passenger’s side. As if this genius product wasn’t enough, you also get two free gifts (I won’t spoil the surprise for you).

This is one of those products that I never realized I needed because I didn’t know they existed. But now that I have one I will never go back to leave my hole unattended. Will you?
