I received a sample Car Cache for review purposes. All opinions are my own.
Ladies, have you ever slid behind the wheel of a car and wondered where to place your purse? We women are touchy about our personal property. Let’s face it, our purse is like an extension of ourselves. We like to keep it within arms’ reach and easily accessible. I don’t feel comfortable if I need to stash my purse in the backseat or on the passenger side floor. I don’t even like to place it on the passenger seat when I’m riding solo because I’ve had the items inside my purse fall out on the floor more than once.
Where to stash our purse becomes quite a challenge at times, but it doesn’t have to be that way. There is a solution.
Enter the Car Caché 
While the Car Caché is great for day to day use, it was invaluable to me on a recent family road trip. My large purse, which resembles a tote bag, was stuffed with everything that I considered essential for my comfort on the trip. A cell phone, pens, notebook, books, brochures and change for the toll roads, I had packed it all! And I wanted it nearby. Not at my feet taking up valuable floor space, where it could get trampled on and dirty, and not in the back of the vehicle where it would get lost amid teens and luggage. The Car Caché was the perfect solution for me.
It took only seconds to install and held my purse securely, right within my reach, while keeping it off the console so my husband could still use the arm rest while he was driving.
I was a bit eager to hit the road with my family when my husband pulled up with the rental vehicle, so I didn’t take the time to glance at the simple directions. I realized after watching the video that I should have had my straps in front of the seat and not behind it. I didn’t know the difference, and yet the Car Cache worked well for me. Just keep in mind when you install yours that you really should read the directions.
When I was introduced to the Car Caché, I thought it was a good idea. Good. Not great. And I certainly didn’t think it was something that I NEEDED to have. After using it for over a week on our road trip and reviewing a sample, I reserve the right to change my mind.
The Car Caché is definitely one of those items you had no idea you needed until you use it and then wonder how you managed without it.
I now want one for each of my vehicles.
Seriously, it is that handy.
When my teenage daughter sat in the front seat with me on our trip, she commented on how great the Car Caché was, which really surprised me. I thought she was being sarcastic, so I questioned her and found out she was sincere. She loved it when she was in the front seat. The one thing she didn’t like? She couldn’t prop her feet up on the console when riding in the back seat when the Car Caché was in place. I don’t know about you, but to this traveling mom, that sounds like another bonus for the Car Caché!
What you need to know
The Car Caché only works with vehicles that have a front center console with a cover and the driver and passenger side headrests must have posts that are accessible as shown in the video in this article.
The Car Caché is available in black for $24.95 and is available to purchase on Amazon.

I like that the car cache will prevent purse contents from spilling onto the dirty floor of your car.
Jennifer H says
I like that it can protect your handbag from scuffs, dents, and the feet of passengers. I’m always throwing my purse on the seat next to me, then the kids will toss it on the floor. That’s where it gets stepped on, dumped, and who knows what else!
kathy f says
I like that it can adjust it to fit almost any size handbag.
G says
I love that it keeps your purse off the floor and uses otherwise wasted space. This is a great invention and one I’d definately use and for me, it has the added benefit of keeping my little doggie in the backseat when that is where I want him as he loves to hop on the console but with this there he wouldn’t. Thanks for the chance to win.

Nancy Bobbert says
This looks so handy. I hate having to stash my purse on the floor. I usually end up holding it when I’m in the passenger seat and my husband is driving. This would solve that problem.
Mel {MamaBuzz} says
What a seriously cool invention! I don’t like having my purse anywhere but right beside me either, and we have a center console. In fact, have you seen those news pieces on people actually getting in the passenger doors of cars parked at gas pumps and stealing people’s purses out of the passenger seat, right under their noses while they pump gas? This just reminded me of that. Awesome giveaway!
Tonya says
That’s terrible! I haven’t heard about those thefts yet. Hearing that only makes me appreciate my Car Cache even more!
Lynsey @MoscatoMom says
Ha I need one of these!! It drives me crazy to have to practically dislocate my shoulder to reach my purse in the back seat LOL
Tonya says
Lynsey, I am serious. Every woman should have one of these. Really. They are so convenient.
friederike graedener says
I like that it will protect my purse from foot bacteria but also damage from others. I also like that it is easy to install. What a great idea. Thank you for the giveaway.

My favorite perk of the Car Cache is:
“Prevent your purse contents from spilling onto the dirty floor of your car “.
Melanie of Que Means What says
OMG! I was just wishing for something like this in my truck today!
Michele {Malaysian Meanders} says
There have been cases of smash and grabs of purses on carseats around here, so I’ve been either putting mine on the floor or else threading the seatbelt through the strap. This would be so much easier!
stephanie mcfarland says

Tracy @ Hall of Fame Moms says
This would be so handy and it would help keep the kids from walking into the front seat! I don’t have a middle console though for the cache to rest on. so it might not work in my van. I shared the giveaway though!
Tonya says
Yes, you do need the console for the Car Cache to work, but thank you so much for sharing the giveaway Tracy!
Trista Anderson says
I like that it keeps it off the floor and helps keep your purse clean and free of bacteria
Tonya says
I hate to give up any of my floor space. Especially for my purse.
Maria says
Keeps shoeborn bacteria away!!! I need this!! I tell my friends with small children that your van goes from smelling like food, milk, diapers to stinky feet due to the older kids leaving their shoes in my van!
Tonya says
Well when you put it that way, the floor really does sound unappealing, doesn’t it? Yikes!
