FORTEM Car Boot Organiser (65L) – Collapsible SUV trunk storage with non-slip base and adjustable straps
Product description
The essentials
If your car boot turns into a jumble after every trip, this FORTEM car boot organiser is aimed at making storage feel more “contained”. It’s a trunk organiser with a reinforced, box-like design and multiple compartments, plus a removable foldable cover that helps keep smaller items out of sight.
On paper, the main appeal is practical: rigid base plates to support the organiser structure, non-slip strips to reduce sliding, and adjustable securing straps so it stays where you place it. There’s also waterproofing mentioned for the bottom half, which is the kind of detail that can matter on rainy days, wet bags, or day-to-day mess.
Key features that affect day-to-day use
The design leans into “stays put” storage. The non-slip bottom and the adjustable straps are meant to stop the whole organiser from creeping around when you brake or drive over uneven roads. That’s a big deal for anyone who’s tired of rummaging because items have migrated into the wrong corner.
Inside, you get multiple storage zones rather than one big bin. There are up to 3 compartments, plus side pockets and a tight mesh section for smaller stuff. Lidded pockets are included for items you’d rather keep contained, like accessories or bits that tend to roll around.
There’s also a collapsible angle. The organiser can fold down to 1 compartment, so you can move it between the boot and the rest of the car more easily (back seat, front seat, or centre). The foldable, detachable lid is there to cover what you store, which helps with basic privacy and keeping clutter visually under control.
What stands out (and the limits to consider)
Where this organiser seems strongest is when you want to tidy up repeatedly: groceries, office bits, kids’ toys, shoes/trainers, or everyday accessories. Consolidating those items into defined sections usually saves time, especially if you often arrive and unload quickly.
It’s also a decent fit if you carry “wet or messy” items sometimes, because the bottom half is described as waterproof. That said, you’ll want to be realistic: waterproofing on the base doesn’t automatically mean every item will stay fully protected in all weather scenarios, particularly where water could reach from above or around open sections.
Another limitation to keep in mind is that the kit is built around compartment organisation. If your priority is storing one bulky, irregular item, you may find the multi-compartment layout less convenient than a single large tote.
Is it worth it?
It makes sense if you’re after structured trunk storage with help to prevent sliding, and you want the flexibility of a collapsible design for moving it inside the car. If you regularly transport a mix of small items (think accessories, office supplies, kids’ stuff) and you’d like them covered with a detachable lid, this is the sort of organiser that matches that use.
You may want to skip it if you mainly carry one large bulky load and don’t need compartments, straps, or a covered setup. It might also feel like more organiser than you need if your trunk is already tidy most of the time.
Worth considering if you like the idea of interlocking connection too. The description notes you can connect two or more car boot bags via interlocking buckles, which could help when you want extra capacity for larger trips.
Practical tips for getting the most from it
A good way to use it is to load by “frequency”: put items you reach for in the lid-covered pockets, and reserve the mesh side areas for small items that you don’t mind rummaging in slightly. For example, during a weekly shop you can keep produce and bags in the main compartment(s), then store smaller items like snacks and bags of bits in the side sections so they don’t end up mixed with heavier items.
Before driving off, tighten the adjustable securing straps so the organiser sits firmly. The non-slip strips help, but straps are what really reduce movement over time.
If you need to transport items to the back seat or front area, folding it down to the single-compartment layout can make the change feel less fiddly—especially when you’ve got luggage or you’re trying to keep the boot tidy between runs.

Buying questions (quick FAQ)
Will it slide around in the boot?
The organiser includes non-slip strips and adjustable securing straps designed to keep it in place. If you fit the straps properly, it should be more stable than a loose bin.
Is the bottom waterproof?
The bottom half is described as waterproof, which should help with wet conditions, but it’s still sensible to assume other parts may not offer the same protection.
Can it move to other seats?
Yes. Because it’s collapsible, it can be moved to the back seat, front seat, or centre of the vehicle.
Does it keep smaller items covered?
It comes with a foldable, detachable lid to cover what’s stored, plus side storage pockets and mesh areas for smaller items.
Can I add extra organisers?
The description mentions you can connect two or more car boot bags with interlocking buckles, which may suit people who want expandable storage.
Final verdict
If you want trunk storage that’s more structured than a basic organiser and you value straps, non-slip stability, and a removable lid, the FORTEM car boot organiser is a practical buy. It leans towards everyday organisation (groceries, office bits, kids’ toys) more than “single bulky item” storage. It may be less suitable if you rarely need compartments or you mainly transport large irregular loads without sorting.
