What we thought

Since receiving this storage box I’ve kept it in the boot of my car and despite it being such a simple thing, it has proved its usefulness time and time again.

Having just returned from a 2 week road trip to the Western Isles of Scotland, I’ve had plenty of time to use the Kelty Window Seat and there’s loads about it that I love.

The positives include a really good size, it doesn’t take up too much space yet at the same time is spacious enough to be actually useful. I keep a mallet, duck tape, wipes and tent pegs inside my car at all times as these are the types of things I’ll often forget.

Instead of having them rattling around the car, I keep them inside the Window Seat box. During our recent holiday I added some kitchen essentials that we’d need for the various self-catering cabins we were staying in.

The sturdy handles make it easy to transport and move around, the see-through lid means you can glance inside and know where things are without having to root around, and the internal divider keeps things separated.

The box provides a good amount of support and protection too. I bought an oil burner and gifts like fudge to bring back with me, and I didn’t want them in a bag where they might risk getting squished or otherwise damaged, making the Kelty Window Seat perfect.

The only thing I’m not keen on is the one-way zip and it loses half a star for that. Accessing the box would be even more convenient if there were two zips, which would mean you wouldn’t have to open the entire thing to get into the far side.

The quality and usefulness of the Kelty Window Seat far outweigh that minor gripe however. We think it’s an absolute must for campers, van lifers and outdoorsy types and whether you keep it in your car or van or move it into your tent, it provides a versatile organisation and storage option.
