Keep shopping in car from falling over

I’d hardly call this a first world problem given the gravity of the situation but my shopping bag falls over when I corner as the fastening points in my estate are too low. This means I need to take as straight a route as possible home.

Any ideas/recommendations a boot organiser?

You’re are joking? Shirely?

Pack cases of beer against the shopping to hold it place, it’s a win/win solution.

Slow down..

Fill up the space with more shopping.

Place small children in the boot and tell them to stop the bag falling over.

Glue Velcro to the shopping bag and boot liner.

Chop up a fitted wardrobe and use sections to make safe storage.

Get shopping delivered.

Put it in the rear footwell instead of the boot as you say you only have one bag of shopping

A short length of dyneema cord, colour coordinated to your upholstery, clipped to the handle of your shopping bag and the other end attached to your rear FM handle directly above.

Thank me later

Put it in the rear footwell instead of the boot as you say you only have one bag of shopping

This, and as above, if you’ve no room left in the footwells, a case of beer makes a good bag stabliser!

Let it fall over

Live on a diet of pizzas. They can’t fall over

Or

Put the bag of shopping on the roof. Everywhere you go people will wave at you and you’ll feel really popular.

Buy a Smart car( low mileage),there’s no room inside for anything to fall over.

Clearly you under-bought the wine supplies…

I just put a curver box on the boot of any car. It’s great for single shopping bags etc

I don’t put shopping in the boot of my car, therefore my shopping does not fall over in the boot of my car.

(Footwells)

If I did have to put the shoppingin the boot of my car, I’d just stick a plastic box in there and use that.

I have a high-sided box kept in the boot and the larger loaded bags go in that, keeps them upright, otherwise if smallish they go behind the front seats in the footwells as others have said.

Expanding foam.

Get an Aygo – it only takes two shopping bags in the boot.

I came here to say that. An excellent feature.

Don’t drive a rally driver.

Seriously, you might need a boot divider doo-dah.  I just pop shopping in the footwell of our cars if just a couple of bags.

Get an Octavia. It has a bag holding loop on either side. Failing that buy a bike with panniers

Get a cargo bike?

Ask Jeeves?

Foot well and drive slower round corners. Problem doesn’t exist then.

Get some AI driven chop-sticks or robot arms ,they can catch the shopping before it falls over/crashes.

But if you’ve got a rubber boot mat you can’t access it.

Take a bike and put shopping in pannier bags. Make the world very slightly better as a bonus

You do know supermarkets deliver food nowadays?

If you attach three sufficiently heavy orthogonally oriented flywheels to your car and spin them quickly enough during your shopping trips you should be able to prevent the kind of angular acceleration of the car which causes your shopping to fall over on your way home.

If you want to spend money on a product then there’s these ^^ Called Stayhold. Comes in various sizes. Velcro to the boot floor and even comes with a handy wine bottle holder if you’re feeling brave.

I thought I’d seen something like this before and a minute on amazon found them.

loads of space for my shopping to slide, get up momentum and then explode in a shower of tomatoes in the back of a transit.

i have a hooked ended camlock strap clipped to the headset of the passenger seat, and loop it around all the bag handles, and back to the headrest. Not hanging but certainly keeps them in place and supported.

I load my shopping straight from the trolley into laundry baskets in the boot of my car. Makes in miles easier when you get home too.

Pyramid bags.

My solution is to keep enough stuff in the boot that there’s always something to nestle the shopping in between.

e.g. mine currently contains: bike toolbox, dryrobe in bag for life, ikea bag, microwive-size plastic tub with emergency bike clothes in, bag for life with spare post-ride clothes in, nice stick my son found on a walk, 2×4 thick foam matting for standing on to get changed.

Attach a strong cord between the rear seat handles above the door, thread cord through shopping bag handles and back onto door handles. 😉

What @gowerboy says.

i put mine in so it’s already in it’s fallen over state… then no falling over

I put mine on the opposite side of the boot to the direction of most of the bends on the way home. Then really pin it hard round those bends so the shopping is definitely where I left it.

Thanks for some great recommendations here for what has been a tiresome issue. Just letting it fall over is not an option as the smell of egg can be horrendous. Bought a collapsible crate for the car.
