Drop Stop is a patented[1] device designed to prevent items from falling between a car's front seats and center console. It was invented by Marc Newburger and Jeffrey Simon of Los Angeles.[2]
Drop Stop is constructed out of black Neoprene[3] filled with polyester fiberfill[4] and is about 17 inches long.[5] It has a slot sewn into it where the seat belt latch can fit through. This anchors the device, allowing the car seat to slide back-and-forth freely.[6] According to Newburger and Simon, the space between the center console and the front seats is always in dark shadow and thus the black color of Drop Stop matches any car's interior.[7] Provided the gap between a car's center console and seat is no less than 3.5 inches, Drop Stop should fit.[5] However, some cars, for example the BMW M3 and Volkswagen Jetta, do not have enough space in the gap to fit the Drop Stop in place.[8]
