Let's face it - one of the strongest sales points for midsize vehicles, a compact footprint with full-size power, is also a downfall - the lack of roominess in the cabin and storage areas. Though there are many external fixes that will greatly improve your storage capacity, internal options will be a true testament to your innovative abilities and creativity.
Perhaps one of the greatest ways to improve your packing abilities will be a simple question of, "Do I need this?" Once you've qualified the item as being "completely necessary" to the success of the trip, it's time to put it in its place. Literally.
Think modular. Storage systems makers enjoying the highest sales know this term very well. Tackle boxes, tool boxes and any rack & drawer type system for that matter improve your ability to stow belongings neatly, and since the lids snap closed, stowing these bins in odd places (e.g., between seats, door pockets, etc) won't result in a mess or missing expensive items.
Think like a college student trying to empty a dorm room and get home for a long awaited and much needed vacation: What you can accomplish with an 18 gallon plastic tote bin is almost unending. Tote bins can also slide in between the front and backseat in such a way that make the back seat more modular for boxes... or - more plastic tote bins.
Another very efficient idea is a seat back/front organizer that can be rolled up and stuffed away whenever it isn't needed. It can double as a shoe organizer or a holder for the children's DVD's instead of the normal scratched and cracked and skipping movies. Trips will be quieter.
If the in-cabin solution is not an option, contact the Freehold Subaru Parts & Service Department for either a roof-top storage rack or receiver hitch storage rack. Both offer added storage space while leaving the cabin free of obstruction for the family. Along with straps and tarp, the external option will keep your belongings safe while on the road.
