I was looking at the underseat storage bins for our Dexter but the prices are just stupid. Tracking up some second hand units didn't show any promise so I look the suggestions of a few people and looked into alternatives and have come up with a winner :D

These boxes are ~$9 from Big W and fit near perfectly, lid on (or off), so you can use all of the available space.


Please forgive the dirt, with two kids climbing in and out it's near impossible to keep clean for any length of time.

Can I ask what straps one and two do?

Please tell me they replace the daft plastic handles that the T5 multivan has?

Also can you lower and move the seat from the rear of the van (looks like that on the picture)

Cheers for the good idea.

The front still has the plastic handles, the rear has those straps which must connect to the front plastic handles in some way since they do move when you pull the straps.

The only part that still bothers me is that you have to lie the seats flat to move them :( Bit of a pain when that's where the child seats live.

That is brilliant-I will go down to the shops today and get those boxes! Thanks for the info. Also, I agree with you re having to fold down those back seats first to move them-it is a pain-I have four kids all in booster seats!
