FORTEM Car Boot Organiser (Collapsible 90L) for SUV Boot Tidy with Non-Slip Base and Adjustable Straps
Product description
The essentials
If your SUV boot (or car trunk) turns into a jumble the moment you unload the weekly shop, a boot organiser like the FORTEM is designed to bring a bit of order back. This one is built around a rigid, reinforced box-style design, so it’s meant to keep its shape rather than folding into a floppy bag of randomness.
On paper, it’s also aimed at day-to-day “small stuff” storage: side pockets for items you want to reach quickly, up to 6 compartments, plus a mesh section with tight siding. There’s also a foldable, detachable lid, which can help keep items out of sight when you’re in a hurry.
What stands out in everyday use
The positioning is pretty clear: this is for drivers who want their boot to stay usable even when you’re carrying a mix of groceries, bags, accessories or kid’s bits. The organiser includes non-slip strips on the base, alongside adjustable securing straps to help it stay put while you’re driving.
A useful touch is the waterproof bottom half. That’s the sort of detail that matters if you’re loading damp towels, muddy garden bags, or you’ve got a cooler that might sweat a bit. It’s not a substitute for proper weatherproofing if you’re leaving things outdoors for hours, but for normal car errands it can make life easier.
A quick real-world example
Imagine you’re coming back from the supermarket: you drop in the main compartment for larger items, use the side pockets for smaller essentials (snacks, bottles, chargers), then put the lid on so everything looks more contained. For a school run or a day trip, you can keep shoes or trainers in a designated spot and avoid them knocking around with the rest of your bag.
Key points
The reinforced, rigid base plates are meant to support the back and the side panels, helping the organiser feel more like a structured storage box than a soft organiser.
It includes multiple storage zones (up to 6 compartments, plus side pockets and mesh siding) so you’re not relying on one big cavity.
The bottom half is waterproof, the base has non-slip strips, and the securing straps are adjustable—so it’s built for staying put while you drive.
It’s collapsible to a single compartment, and the lid is removable/foldable, giving you flexibility about where you use it.

Pros and what you’ll notice day to day
What works well (and why it matters): - The rigid, reinforced box design should help the organiser keep structure, which makes it easier to load and unload quickly. - Multiple compartments and side pockets reduce the “everything mixes together” problem. - Non-slip strips and adjustable straps are practical for real driving conditions—especially if the boot organiser shifts when cornering. - Waterproof bottom half is a sensible feature for wet or messy items. - Collapsible design means you can move it to the back seat, front seat, or centre of the vehicle when needed.
What may be a limitation (worth considering): - It sounds built for organising and containing, but if you’re expecting a perfectly waterproof, fully weatherproof lid for prolonged outdoor exposure, the description doesn’t really position it that way. For short trips and typical use, it should be more than fine. - Collapsing down to 1 compartment is handy, but that also means you’ll lose the multi-compartment layout when it’s not set up.
It’s not necessarily the “highest-end” organiser on features alone, it reads more like a solid, practical mid-range type of solution focused on storage and stability.
Who it’s for (and who should skip it)
Usage tips
You’ll likely get the most out of this if you regularly carry mixed items—groceries, office bits, accessories (including handbags and shoes), toys for kids, or even travel/camping gear. It’s also a good fit if you want to consolidate mess in the boot so you can still make room for bulkier items like a cooler.
It may not suit you if your main priority is ultra-compact storage at all times, or if you’d rather have completely rigid, non-collapsible storage. Collapsible organisers are great for versatility, but the trade-off is you’re not dealing with a hard-sided storage box.
Before buying, it’s worth thinking about how you typically load your vehicle. If your boot space layout is tight, the securing straps and non-slip base are the parts to focus on—those features are what help it stay where you put it.
Extra option: connecting organisers
The description also notes you can connect 2 or more car boot bags with interlocking buckles. That’s useful if you already use a compatible setup or want to expand your storage for larger outings.
Final verdict
It’s a sensible purchase if you want a structured SUV boot tidy that keeps small items separated, stays put thanks to the non-slip base and adjustable straps, and benefits from a waterproof bottom for everyday mess. The foldable, detachable lid adds that extra layer of discretion when you don’t want everything on display.
You may want to skip it if you mainly carry one large item at a time, or if you’re after a completely weatherproof, hard-shell style solution. In short: it’s built for tidying and practical containment, and it should fit most typical family and everyday driving needs.
Mini FAQ

The bottom half is described as waterproof, which can help with damp or messy items during normal car use.
Does it stay in place while driving?
It includes non-slip strips on the bottom and adjustable securing straps, both intended to prevent sliding and help keep it secured.
Can it be moved to other seats?
Yes—because it’s collapsible, the description says you can move it to the backseat, front seat, or centre of the vehicle.
Does it fold down into one compartment?
When collapsed, it’s described as becoming 1 compartment, so the multi-compartment layout is mainly for when it’s set up.
