For those who use this in a moving vehicle, how do you stabalize it or keep it from toppling over in case of sudden stops or turns?

My husband uses this for lunch. He leaves it in his lunchbox to stablize it.

Bought it for my brother's 25 foot sailboat. He puts it in the sink in the galley with the lid strap on. Pretty stable there even when his boat heels in rough water.

We put it in a box on the back seat floor it seems to be the most stable place for sudden stops!

Bungee cords behind the passenger seat on the floor. I plug it in just before I start my day on the road and it is ready whe I shut down in the evening. Saves a lot of money on the road.

Some people say you shouldn't be in motion with it mounted at all as stated on the cable; however, I have had my vehicle to about 80mph without a problem with this thing mounted to it. Do this at your own risk!

It's very stiff to remain in place once you're driving. Just move it to the position you need, don't think you can break it. And do the adjustments before you mount it to your windshield. Good luck.

Our four year old grandson does some tight turns. That has not been an issue. The battery is heavy and we secured a cinder block in the back "load" area for added weight. No problems with tipping at all.... unless the child drives into a ditch, etc.

if your rim is shaking make sure to use a ratchet and tighten the large nut in the base of the rim (the one with the spring). If you tighten it sufficiently it will give you a quite solid rim. This will tighten it over the reccomended amount (flush with the washer) but I have yet to see any downside. Of course, we don't hang on our rim either.

My car rides smoothly on highways, but I haven't noticed any significant shaking on rougher roads with it holding a Garmin Nuvi 2555 (5" screen). You cannot shorten the cable without taking the lighter plugin part apart. I just wrapped the excess cable around the holder.

I haven't had any trouble with it moving. If you have something such as coins on the same surface it will cause them to vibrate. It has three small rubber feet on the bottom. I use mine in a truck with no radio, so to keep it in place I put it in a cup holder. Works great. You will like it.

There is no way to control the moving, except to use the Burton while on pretty good roads. Otherwise wait until you are parked. I haven't had any real problems like that myself. Are you overfilling this?

I maintains its shape whether it is full or empty. You can probably flatten it down and keep it bungeeied down if you want, but I never did. I ride my ATV hard and it did not come loose and malfunction in any way. Great Value if you do not want to pay the high cost of hard shell cargos.

i've been using rola for some time now with a rubber mat lining the cargo bay of our highlander. it seems stable, doesn't move at all. it's weight helps and also the bottom surface sticks well with the rubber mat. inthink this may fit your needs.

As long as the frame is assembled tight, it is no problem to move to stabilize but I would not want to pick it up and carry around for any big distance.

I use an Olympic set. It is a bit shaky but I've never been worried that it would tip over or anything.

There are locks on two wheels. So when you assemble make sure one of these wheels go on each side. There is no way that it will sway.

It's not designed to do that, no. It's a freestanding unit when opened and has rigid bases for the 2 large compartments that are removable. I've used it in my 2014 Crosstrek nearly every day since I got it and I have NEVER had it fall over or slide around. The bottom hugs the all-weather-liner in the cargo area. Perfect for hauling groceries or anything else you you don't want rolling around the back of the car. :)

It just has the hand brake. So you would use that to help keep it stable while getting in and out of low seats. Hope this helps.

It works great if the ground is not soft (like after rain). When I have to deal with the latter, I use it in upright mode so the big wheels are in use.

I agree with the other 2 responses. Plus, I have issue with the top of it rolling down constantly and not staying in place.
