I've seen 2 different pics for the cargo net. One show it used flat on the floor and it covers up cargo. The other show it along the opening to the tailgate. So, is it able to serve 2 purposes?
I mainly want it for the tailgate to stop the squash, watermelon, etc. from rolling out the back after grocery shopping. :) |

This is the pic I was looking at with it attached to the tailgate area
And now that I look at it closer, it doesn't seem to be attached at the bottom. It looks like the net is basically folded in half and attached at the grocery hooks. So, I think my watermelons will just roll under it out the door? :3: or I guess I could put my groceries inside the folded net? Anyone tried this? |

| Why not just get the cargo organizer and stick your melons in there. The organizer is divided into 3 compartments by 2 separators which can be collapsed to give you more room. A must-have for trips to Costco. |

Because I have my stroller on one side to make it easier to get out, and that means this would have to go on the other side, making the compartments furthest from me harder to reach for me (who isn't that tall) and for the kids who help with groceries. The net can fit in front of the stroller and makes for easier access.
I might still consider it though if I can come up with another arrangement in the back that will work for me. Do you know if this item will work on either side? or does it only work if you have it width wise? |

I actually have a stroller on one side of my trunk as well and the organizer sits lengthwise on the other side. My organizer is not anchored down and it sits on the cargo tray which is grippy enough that the organizer hasn't slid once.
Well, you could always get both the organizer and net and see which works best. There's no such thing as having too many accessories. :D |

I am actually considering both right now. :)
I think I'd like the possibility of hooking it down as I'm not sure what I'll have for on the floor of the cargo area yet. Can I hook the organizer to a front and rear cargo hook? |

You can use either the anchor on the side of the armrest for the 3rd row or the LATCH tether on the back of the 2nd row seat. The tie-down straps are adjustable.
By the way, like it always happens after I have bought an accessory, this item is now on sale this month at Hondacuraworld. :3:
Figure 1: Organizer lengthwise with stroller.
Figure 2: Anchor point and LATCH tether. |

| I ended up getting the net and we really like it so far. It DOES attach at the top (to the grocery hooks) and at the bottom (to the floor cargo hooks) so makes a decent enough barrier. The side are zipped when you use it this way. You unzip the sides if you want to spread it out and use it across the floor. |
