Cargo Net:



Soft Cargo Organizer:


Does anyone have either one of these? I'm looking to use them for grocery bags and random knick knacks, so they won't slide around. Also, it'd be nice if it was easy to install and quick to remove when necessary for larger loads.

I figure others before me also probably had a tough decision choosing between the two.

 

you should get one of these. i use them on my Fit and LegacyWgn.
comes in super handy when carrying wheels/tires cause you can even
chok them standing up. best part is that you get to choose
how to shape the organizers. it's quite awesome. my dealer even
asked where i got mine. (actually i got mine from Griot'sGarage but
they stopped selling them). you can get it from Amazon:


Amazon.com: Trunk Organizer - Set of 3 - (Black): Home Improvement

 

Consider buying one of the thule units for heavy lifting. I got the idea from the honda element forum. Some had said the Honda unit fell apart on them over time and recommended this one:
Amazon.com: Thule 7022 Go Box Car Organizer (Large): Sports & Outdoors


Only thing is don't buy this one from amazon. For some reason, they are kinda high. element owners said you could get it locally at target for 59 so that is what I did. It folds up nicely. I liked it so much I may buy the one with the built in wheels. So far I have loaded it down packed full of groceries, some that were heavy and it did fine. Last time I also had about 30 cans of cat food along with the groceries and could tell this unit will hold up. Target also had another line called case logic. Smaller, probably not as good but I bought one of the corner units to hold flashlights, fix a flat, etc and it was only about 29. I orignally thought 59 was too much for one of these but after getting it home and seeing how well built it was, I am glad I took a chance.

 

even tho i don't personally care for either, i do understand your quandary. cargo net. maybe.

 

I have the OEM cargo net and its pretty worthless. The net hangs in the air instead of resting on the floor so everytime you put something in it always feels like you're stretching it alot.

 

I use these with my SUV, they work pretty good! I dont remember where I got them though. I think I bought them about 6 years ago at my local Pep Boys.....or was it Costco...

 

I love the Cargo net except.....

It's too close to the trunk opening, and it doesn't stretch completely across. That's the downside.

The upside is that it has a zipper so that you can put stuff inside the net.

 

yah, wat i like about this is you can place it anywhere in the trunk
pretty much. very flexible to use. i even used them as chocks when
transporting wheels and tires in my car.

nets are annoying because it obstructs the opening quite a bit.

 

I have both,I use the organizer daily and recommend it,the net I use mostly as a divider when one or both of the seatbacks is folded down as in camping sleeping backs and tents don't start flying if theres a sudden stop.Couldn't do w/out the organizer though.

 

a little after getting my fit i went shopping. when i got home i found the milk had leaked onto the cargo carpeting. man, dried milk sure stinks. i got the cargo organizer to avoid similar grocery accidents.
