Fortem Car Boot Organiser (Collapsible Multi-Compartment, 90L) for SUV Trunk Storage
Product description
The essentials
If your car boot turns into a bit of a jumble the moment you load it, a boot organiser like the FORTEM Car Boot Organiser is designed to bring things back under control. On paper, it combines a rigid, supportive structure with multiple compartments, so you can separate smaller items instead of playing the “dig around for it” game every time you stop for groceries or pick up office supplies.
A big part of its appeal is that it’s not just a soft bag with pockets. The design is reinforced with rigid base plates across the bottom and side panels, which should help it hold shape while you’re using it. There’s also a non-slip bottom area to reduce sliding, plus adjustable securing straps to help keep it in place in the trunk.
What you actually get day to day
Where this organiser stands out is the way it targets mess reduction in a practical way. It’s built with multiple side pockets and up to 6 compartments, and there’s also tight mesh siding for small items. Some sections include pockets with lids, which is useful if you don’t want everything exposed to view or if you’re carrying items that would otherwise flop about.
There’s also a neat idea for people who end up needing more space in one go: the description mentions you can connect two or more organisers using interlocking buckles. That’s the kind of feature that can matter if you already have a system for shopping runs, weekend kit, or carrying a mix of personal and work items.
In use, it’s the sort of setup that makes a difference when loading quickly: for example, you could keep smaller items (like chargers, accessories, or children’s bits) in the side sections and compartments while leaving space in the main boot area for bulkier items. It won’t stop every bit of movement—no organiser can do that in every situation—but the non-slip base and straps are aimed at keeping it calmer.
Strengths that matter (and a couple of limits)
The reinforced box-style build is a clear strength. The bottom half is also described as waterproof, which could help if you’re storing damp sports gear, shopping that’s just been rained on, or anything that might leak.
The foldable design is another major selling point: it can collapse down to 1 compartment, and the lid is foldable and detachable. That makes it easier to move it around within the car—such as to the backseat, front seat, or centre—if you prefer to unload in a different spot.
That said, do bear in mind a couple of realities. First, you’re still relying on straps and the fit of the organiser within your specific boot layout—if your boot shape is unusual, it may not feel as “locked in” as you’d like. Second, with collapsible storage, you get flexibility and portability, but it’s not the same thing as a fully rigid, built-in storage system.
Key features to look at before you buy
- Rigid base plates and reinforced structure to support the organiser’s shape.
- Non-slip bottom plus adjustable securing straps to help it stay put.
- Multiple compartments (up to 6) with side pockets and mesh sections for small items.
- Waterproof bottom half (as described).
- Collapsible design so it can fold down to a single compartment.
- Foldable, detachable lid to keep goods out of sight.
- Option to connect multiple organisers using interlocking buckles.
If you’ve been considering “bags with pockets” instead, this is positioned more like structured trunk storage. That’s usually the difference between things staying organised and things ending up on the floor after a few hard brakes.
Who it suits best (and who should be cautious)
This is a good fit if you want a practical boot tidy for everyday running about—groceries, office supplies, accessories, or even kids’ toys—where the goal is less clutter and easier access. It also makes sense if you regularly move items between home and car and like the idea of keeping smaller bits separated.
It may not be the best match if you only carry large, awkward items all the time and rarely need compartments. In that case, a multi-compartment organiser can end up being more “structure than you need”. And if your main priority is maximum hard-sided security for valuable items, remember the lid is described as a cover to keep goods out of sight, but it’s still an organiser rather than a lockable compartment.
Buying verdict: Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you want a structured, multi-compartment boot organiser with a reinforced design, a non-slip bottom, waterproofing on the lower section, and straps to keep it from sliding around. The collapsible setup with a detachable lid is also a sensible bonus if you sometimes move the organiser between seats or want to store it away when it’s not in use.
Skip it if your boot situation doesn’t suit securing straps, or if you’re not bothered about separation and just want simple, flat storage. Also, be aware that the organiser’s usefulness depends quite a lot on how your trunk space and loading habits line up with its compartment layout.
