Let me start by saying this little trash can has been a GAME CHANGER for my messy SUV. As a mom who's constantly battling goldfish crackers and juice box straws in the backseat, the Vankor car trash can has earned its spot as my favorite car accessory.

The GOOD STUFF first: That waterproof PEVA lining? LEGIT. I've tossed half-full coffee cups in there during road trips (oops) with zero leaks. The velcro-sealed lid contains smells surprisingly well - no more 'mystery fast food odor' hitting you when you open the car door.

PRO TIP: Those side pockets are perfect for keeping wet wipes and spare masks within arm's reach. I use one pocket exclusively for my kid's abandoned hair clips (why are there always so many?!).

Now the REAL TEST: My 5-year-old can actually hit the wide elastic opening when tossing trash! No more 'almost made it' garbage piles around the can. The adjustable strap lets me hang it from the headrest or center console depending on who's making the biggest mess that day.

SMALL COMPLAINT: It's slightly bulkier than I expected when folded. Not a dealbreaker, but don't expect it to disappear into your glove compartment.

BOTTOM LINE: After 3 months of daily use (including one unfortunate incident involving melted crayons), this $15 trash can has saved my car from becoming a rolling landfill. Worth every penny for parents, road trippers, or anyone who eats in their car regularly!
