What Is a Car Seat Gap Filler?
A car seat gap filler is a purpose-built wedge or organizer that slides into the gap between your car seat and the center console. It creates a smooth, even surface that prevents small items from falling into the dreaded "seat crack."
Modern gap fillers go beyond simple wedge designs. Premium models include storage compartments, cup holders, and charging cable slots.
