Rubberqueen 51051 Litter Basket Black

I have been looking for one of these in black for years. I thought they stopped making these. I was thrilled to run across this. I have two of these that I purchased almost 25 years ago in burgundy and blue. The original version of these have a false bottom that covers a "bean-bag" of "sand" used as a counterweight. You can see the mold lines in the new one I received, for where the false bottom would "snap" in. So either the one I received was missing those parts, or they don't include them any more. These really need the weigh in the bottom, or they tend to be top-heavy and tip off the rear floor center "hump" where I keep mine. So, minus 1 star for the missing parts. Otherwise, I would purchase again.

We've had a couple of these litter baskets in our cars (and minivan when we had one) for years. They're not sold in any stores that I could find so I was delighted when I saw this online. My husband had given up his to our son when he started driving our old car and I hadn't been able to find a new one. I ordered two -- one for my husband and one for dad (a Father's Day gift). They last for years (the one in our old car still had its original Rubberqueen label so I knew I was getting a product that would really last). It's small and hard plastic so it's easy to wipe out. The only catch is that your car has to have a 'hump' on the floor in order for the basket's contoured bottom to sit properly. Luckily all our cars have that so we are good to go.

I bought this to use behind the console and over the hump between the front seats and second row of seats to hold my purse. However, the hump is square shaped, not rounded, so I will need to think of something to hold this container in place.

I got this for my daughters new Volvo. It fits perfectly in the back by the console, between seats. These are really hard to find in stores. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars, because I have the same one except it has a false bottom with a small sandbag in it. Although she doesn't need it for this car due to the snug fit, it would still be nice. This can is WAY better than the cloth types available in stores. Great price too!

The basket itself is made from solid plastic. It can be knocked around without fear of breaking it. It's built to have a weighted insert and a plastic cover to that insert, but it doesn't come with either of these. If you buy this, be prepared to created your own weighted and sealed base.

We bought this for hubby's car. I have one just like it in my car for years - different brand, otherwise they're exactly alike. It stays put in my car but not his. I can't put it on the hump in the back seat because it falls off. It does stay ok right next to the hump though..I keep it lined with a small plastic bag. It's out of the way most of the time, although if there are two people in the back (rare - usually only one), then it'll get in the way of the feet.

The Company does NOT include all of the required parts! PAY ATTENTION to the 1-star reviews and CONSIDER using an empty 1-gal. paint can instead, because it would be more stable than this trash can. Everything Aftermarket no longer includes the MUCH-NEEDED snap-in-place false bottom that contains the sand (customer-supplied!) needed to render this trash can functional. I know this because I still have my original. It is IDENTICAL in every detail, to include the visible retention lines on the inside for the snap-in-place false bottom. SAME dimensions, shape, texture, material, etc., except for the MISSING PART. I must assume that the manufacturer and/or distributor no longer have the injection mold used to make it and don't care to replace it because, at $15/unit (an inflated price point without all of the parts!), they don't need ALL of their customers to be satisfied. If only 60% of us are happy, then so is the Company and its owners.

Exactly what I wanted. However, it does tip over if you go around a curb. I fixed that by filling a little baggie with small rocks and putting it in the bottom. I also used a strip of Velcro to make sure it doesn't go anywhere. I like it because I can simply reach behind me and drop something like a candy wrapper in the container and don't have to fool with lids and all that stuff. I had one some years ago and loved it. Just couldn't find another one! With a few minor "fixes", you can make it perfect.
