Clean seats
Side-impact airbags and child seats have put the kibosh on traditional seat covers. So when you want to slip a protective layer between you and the seat, check out Seat Keeper, which uses non-skid backing and optional fastening loops to keep it in place.

Safe space
Never lock yourself out of your vehicle again with the HitchSafe, a small steel box that attaches to a trailer hitch receiver. It has a combination lock and enough room for an extra set of keys and other small valuables.

Awesome product! Just bought one online after checking it out on their site. Why didn't I think of this! The above states that it attaches which is incorrect. It goes INSIDE the receiver and takes advantage of the steel tube for protection and concealment. I do a lot of outdoor activities and love this concept vs the magnetic thing for secure key storage.
Any time I want to use my receiver I would be able to remove the HitchSafe and in watching the videos it is super easy to do with no tools needed once I remove the combination drawer.
Again, this item is awesome... one of the coolest things I have purchased in a long time!

I bought a HitchSafe a few months ago and I love it. I never have to carry my keys with me when I go running. It is great whenever I dont want to carry my keys around with me while I am outside. I suggest it for everyone

I bought the HitchSafe for my wife last Christmas. She kept forgetting her keys in her SUV. I figured this way I could keep an extra key in the vehicle and she wouldn't have to call me out to help her. Best gift I ever got her & she's happy - go figure!
