My rule is keep stuff away from the airbag. I'm just thinking an accident that causes the airbag to deploy may include a rough bounce or 2 in the process, as such whatever you have in there may go into the air and get launched at the person the air bag is trying to protect. Maybe even the tray could get airborne.

I'd cancel the order or just return it. Don't worry Amazon won't go out of business, I think they are doing ok.

We have had one in our Jeep for awhile my wife likes to lay her phone sideways in it if the bag deployed it would go over the phone.

This assumes that the contents of the tray, and the tray itself, stay in position before the airbags deploy. They probably won’t.

I got on of these for Christmas. It’s only deep enough for a few pens or small pieces of paper like parking receipts.

I’m taking it out. Not worth it.

I bought one for my cell phone. It was pointed out by another member that it would get in the way of the airbag. That was a total bummer for me. I leave my keys in it now because I’m determined to use it and I usually have drinks in the car that get in the way of the actual key holder. I feel like I wasted my money on it but it’s always nice to have extra storage in the car and I can use it for small things.

Put her in the passenger seat with $50 with of quarters in the tray and hit a brick wall @50mph... Pics are always encouraged

I was just planning to use them for loose change, I've been keeping it in that flat tray under the radio but that's a PITA to try and scoop it out without it falling to the console or floor. Good input here, definitely thinking about just returning it but that extra space is at a premium w/ these vehicles. Sure wouldn't want anything to happen to my sweetie though

What about the Gibson Leather @Blkjak saddle bag? Sorry, but I can't find the link atm. But I really like those and will pick one up later

Edit: found it

100% agree.

I looked at this tray too and concluded that the TRAY might not be the issue but anything in the tray could be. Worst case someone could have a cell phone or keys or “whatever” blasted at them at the speed of light. IF that was possible, the concept of loosing an eye or breaking a cheek bone or knocking out teeth for the “benefit” of a little tray doesn’t seem like a good balance to me.

I decided that IF Mopar made a similar tray, it would potentially be “safe”....... but I couldn’t find one by Mopar. Only no-name third parties. So, I decided ....’not worth the bother’

I don't know. I have one. Some background: Before I retired I used to work for GM as a test dummy in high speed crashes. The union said I could only do 15 crashes a year due to surgeries, hospitalizations, recovery and rehab but my biggest lesson came in crash number 1. IF YOU DRIVE YOUR CAR AT HIGH SPEED HEAD ON INTO A WALL OR HEAD ON INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE YOU WON'T CARE IF YOU LEFT YOUR NOTE 10+ IN THE HANDLE SLOT. So, because of my professional experience I'll take my chances.

That's wayyyyyy too much trouble. I use an open stiletto.

Bought and now I don’t use it. Would rather have the ones that go on either side of lower console. Thought my wife would use it for her phone, instead it gets snacks and trash. Save your money for something else.

Those "small things " can be accelerated to injurious speeds when they bounce up, get swatted at passenger by air bag. Maybe a shop rag, or handkerchief.. Pens, keys, coins, phones...not if you value your passenger.

I was wondering the same. It's a neat idea but I don't want anything else flying at me in the event of an accident

you are driving, so it's all good. beside, it's impossible to wreck out in the country side of ohio.
