Tablet holder for your car

Summer is the time for family, and that includes vacation! We love a good family road trip, and there are tons of places to visit within driving distance here in Southern California. We have taken trips to Solvang, Palm Springs, Pismo Beach, and Camarillo, CA, and the kids always want to visit more places. When the “are we there yet?” question has been asked for the 1,000th time, I knew that we needed something to keep the kids busy on our next road trip!

Car tablet mount ideas

Before a road trip, I always make sure that I get an oil change, check the tire pressure, and make sure that all fluids are topped off before we go. Long trips in the car can lead to whines from the kids and discomfort for the adults, so I definitely cannot forget about the snacks and activities for the kids in the back seat! Make this easy DIY tablet holder for the car headrest for effortless entertainment while on your next road trip.

Road Trip Hacks: Make This Easy DIY Tablet Holder

Materials needed:

• (1) plastic zipper binder pencil pouch
• ribbon
• scissors
• your favorite tablet

Step 1: Gather materials for your backseat tablet mount

When I tell you that this is an easy DIY tablet holder to make, I am not kidding! Get a sturdy pencil pouch with a clear plastic cover and pre-punched holes for 3-ring binders. Make sure it’s nice and large, and that the clear window is big enough to show your tablet’s whole screen.

Step 2: Add ribbon ties to DIY tablet car mount

Measure and cut two long pieces of ribbon for the two outer holes. Tie each one into a double knot, leaving plenty of ribbon left on each side for tying. Attach to the back of the headrest by tying bows on each side. That’s it! You can open and close the zipper pouch at the bottom to easily remove the tablet when needed, and un-tie the bows to detach the DIY tablet holder when not in use.
