Car seats are one of the most important pieces of child safety equipment you can buy. Not only do they protect your child in the event of a crash, but they also keep them organized and comfortable while they’re riding in the car. But with so many different car seats on the market, it can be hard to know which one to choose. And if you’re like most parents, you don’t want to have to buy a new car seat every year just to keep your kids entertained. That’s where a car seat organizer comes in handy. A car seat organizer makes it easy to find and use your child’s car seat without having to search through a pile of clutter. In this article, we will show you how to make a car seat organizer from scratch. By following our instructions, you will be able to create a handy tool that will make life much easier for you and your children in the future.
What You Will Need
To make a car seat organizer, you will need:
-A car seat
-Plywood or another sturdy surface
-Ruler or other straight edge
-Scissors
-Paint or a clear sealant
-Nailguns or other type of fasteners ( bolts, screws, nails )
-Zip ties or strong string
-Cordless drill with bit size that is appropriate for wood screws
-Straws or foam balls to fill the grooves in the organizer panel
1. Begin by measuring the width and height of your car seat. Use the ruler to draw a line at these measurements on your plywood/other sturdy surface. Cut out the panel using scissors. Be sure to leave enough extra material around all sides of the cutout so that you can screw it together once finished. Carefully smooth out any rough edges with a sanding block before continuing.
2. Once your panel has been cut out, start screwing it together with wood screws approximately every 8 inches (20 cm). Make sure to screw it tightly so that no gaps form along the edges! Once assembled, your car seat organizer should resemble something like this:
3. To finish off your organizer, paint it whatever color you choose, and then apply a clear sealant if desired (I used Kilz). Finally, hang it up on your car’s rearview mirror using zip ties or strong string!
How to Make A Car Seat Organizer
If you have a car with more than one seat, you know that it can be difficult to find a place to store all of the things that go along with using a car. This is especially true if you have children who are always asking to be let out and then wanting back in, or if you need to keep extra supplies in the car for when your little ones get sick or want a snack. […] If you’re looking for an easy way to organize your car seat and keep everything within easy reach, make yourself a car seat organizer! You’ll need some materials that you likely already have around the house, and it should take less than an hour to complete.
To make your own car seat organizer, begin by cutting two pieces of fabric that are about 18 inches by 12 inches. Then, cut six strips of fabric measuring 2½ inches wide by 18 inches long. Sew the strips together along one long edge so that they form a tube. Turn the tube right side out and press it flat.
Now, measure the height of your car’s center console and cut a piece of cardstock to that size. Trace around the top edge of your fabric tube, making sure not to include any of the seam allowance. Cut out the traced circle and remove the seam allowance. Place the cardboard circles inside both fabric tubes so that they overlap slightly (you’ll want at least 1 inch of space between each circle). Now sew each circle directly onto the overlapping portion of each fabric tube
