How the Netcessity Seat Caddy was Born
We are three women (mother and 2 daughters) who invented a unique, convenient product for anyone who drives a car! Born of a daily aggravation of everything in the passenger seat toppling to the floor when you hit the brakes, we were sure there had to be a smart way to prevent this from happening. We knew EVERYBODY experienced this! So, we invented the perfe
ct solution: the Netcessity Seat Caddy, a cargo net for the passenger seat. Now everything you put there stays there! We are a family that has always talked about practical things that should be invented to make life’s little problems a little easier. In Jan ‘17, my daughter called to say her purse, coffee, lunch, (or whatever was in her passenger seat) just dumped to the floor
because she stopped suddenly or turned a corner. She asked, “Why hasn’t anyone invented something to stop this from happening!?” I said, “Let’s do it!” So, we all got busy with concepts and prototypes. We trialed, tweaked and made improvements. We started Feb 17, 2017 (2/17/2017) by making the initial supply in our basement on my mother’s 60-year old Singer sewing machine. In Feb ’18 we started selling across the U.S. While we were developing, trialing and redesigning, we discovered an added benefit: driver safety! The National Highway and Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that loose items in cars, which become projectile (and sometimes deadly), contribute to over 13,000 injuries per year! That’s when we knew we were not only solving a common problem, but also could make an impact on safer driving habits! The Netcessity Seat Caddy not only keeps your items from falling from the passenger seat, but it also reduces distracted driving which results from taking your eyes off the road or your hand off the wheel (the Mom reflex!) to prevent those items from falling to the floor!
