I was using a regular small 3 gallon trash can in the back floor board of my car but it keeps tumping over everytime I turn my car or a kid kicks it over. All the trash would fall out. The old trash can became more of a pain than helped. So, I ordered this product and wow....I am so happy I made this purchase! No more tumped over trash! No more floor board trash! I hung it on the back of the passenger's side seat so that I can reach it when I'm driving and my kids could also reach it while sitting in the back. No more trash smells because this product has a lid for it. I do not zip the lid shut, instead, I put a 4 gallon trash bag inside the protect the trash can and then just place the lid on top but I don't zip it due to the trash bag. As a bonus, it has side pockets for putting drinks, snacks, or extra trash bags inside! As a personal bonus, the black color of this trash can perfectly matches my black car interior!!! 5 stars! Highly recommend!
