Carrying a Few Things on the Floor Behind the Drivers Seat

[EasternSP]

I'm pretty used to putting the two or three grocery bags or other small items on the floor behind the drivers seat in my CT. Carried this practice over from the F-150s I've had in the past.
The CT has a big flat floor back there and the groceries in plastic bags will find their way all over the width of the floor by the time I get home.
I had cut a large piece of plastic from a storage tub for my F-150s but it isn't big enough to span the CT back seat. Just a tub placed back there would have sides a bit to high to reach over.
Is there anything on the market to hold groceries or other small stuff in place on the floor behind the drivers seat?

Just put them in the frunk. I purchased the Cybertruck cooler, and I use it regularly to put perishables in and keep them cool, but it also works with all my groceries that I don’t want rolling around. There’s also the option of a cargo net for the frunk. I don’t have that because I knew I was getting the cooler, but others have said it works well at tacking stuff down.

Standard sized reusable shopping bags give the frunk a real hard time. You can fill them maybe 2/3 of the way, or else they make the frunk pop open. You can then put bags three wide, before it gets to the lower clearance part of the frunk. I seldom only get three 2/3 full bags when I go grocery shopping, so the frunk is near useless. Coming from the Lightning where I put all my groceries in the frunk, I now use the back seat of my CT like the OP. In fairness, the back seat is really good for this purpose, the way the seats flip up make it very roomy. Also the floor material has prevented my bags from sliding around. If the CT frunk was 15% larger, it could've been incredible.

Fair point. For my Costco runs, I do utilize the backseat area AND the bed, in addition to the frunk. I used to do shopping with my RAM 1500, and most items were relegated to the back seat and bed, but they slid around the bed so much it was annoying. Coming from any ICE vehicle, the added storage in the frunk makes a big difference.

The bed divider is fantastic for big items like cases of drinks, makes sure they stay where you can reach.

Frunk only gets used for me on smaller trips or where I put the most sensitive items.

The Frunk isn't really practical. Sorry, forgot to include this issue in the original post.
When I park at home, the frunk is right up against the garage wall so it won't open. Also, I don't want to have to stop short, unload the frunk then pull all the way in. I live alone so I don't have another rider to jump out and do the unload.
Some kind of corral item that would sit on the floor behind the drivers seat and not slide around would be great.

Have you tried milk crates? They’re $12 in Home Depot. Probably could get at least 4 back there

Not only milk crates, there are lightweight containers vegetables and other products are shipped in that fit modularly in the back as well as bed. Ask, or check around the rear of restaurants to find them being thrown away.

You can also use wire cubicle type shelving, laid on its side as compartments putting together in any configuration needed. Search wire cube shelf on Amazon.

I always had utility bodies with toolbox sides over fenders as work trucks using cube shelving or milk crate system in the bed for pvc fittings, straps, tow bars, propane cylinders…. The day you lay a larger shelf down in the bed you realize the multiple compartments you just created.

I rarely have the back seat folded down for passengers. 2 door mini CT would be perfect for me.

milk crates and boxes are a bit to tall to mess with.
Just need some kind of low wall that keeps the stuff from rolling all the way across the back floor or up under the drivers seat.
Years ago, with my F-150, I put a plastic bag with groceries on the floor. There was also a can of Bang energy drink. Didn't think much of it till I got home. The can had rolled out of the bag past the bread and a couple other soft items on top, hit a sharp edge under the drivers seat which cut a hole in the can. My poor hearing didn't hear it if it was hissing, but when I got home, the can had drained as can rolled so the small hole was facing down. I had to pull the seat and the carpeting out to clean it up.

I do exactly as you do. On your next Costco run, pick through their bin and "harvest" a couple of used boxes. They work perfect. (The ones I like have a low side on the front.)

Do you have the carpet floor mats, or the all-weather liners? The rubberized surface grips extremely well. Nothing slides around unless the airbags deploy lol

Tons of solutions

This is what at I use. Simple, folds flat, fits in the back, fits int he frunk.

Or put some adhesive hooks on the back of the front seats at the top of the grocery bag reach, so they are not carrying weight but just preventing bag tipping.

I’m confused. I fill standard size reusable grocery bags to the rim and they fit fine in my frunk. Maybe there’s more than one standard?

I have also purchased some plastic hooks that installed on the top of the frunk liner, which I hook the bag handles into to prevent them from toppling over.
