Review: Drop Stop Car Wedge

Drop Stop Car Wedge is a simple product that does one thing very well. It blocks the gap between your car seat and the center console, so that you can't drop stuff down into that hard to reach spot. 

I have been using one, and It works great. I do notice that I can feel the right side of my seat is button cushion is a little bit firmer due to compression, but it doesn't bother me.

The wedge is a tube made of black neoprene, with a pass-through for the seatbelt latch.  It is stuffed with filler.  To install it, you slip it over your seatbelt latch and then stuff it down, working it forward and back smooth it out. 

At $20/pair plus shipping, it isn't cheap, but isn't outrageously expensive either.  It should outlast your vehicle.

Pros:
  • Simple, effective
  • Unobtrusive
  • Seems durable
Cons:
  • Unknown country of origin (not on packaging)
  • $20+shipping is a little steep for what is basically a stuffed fabric tube
  • Limited distribution (Can't buy it on Amazon, etc.)
  • Adds firmness to right seat cushion side


*Note: DropStop did not provide any payment for this review, other than sending me a test unit.
