How to Make a DIY Tablet Holder for a Car Headrest
This DIY tablet holder for a car headrest is sponsored by RYOBI for their June “On the Road” theme! All project ideas and opinions belong to Thrift Diving. 🙂
If you’ve got kids or grandkids, you know the scenario during a road trip: “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Arrrreeee weeeeee theeeerrreee yeeeeetttt??!”
The only way to really soothe them is with electronics, right? Something that’s going to stimulate their little minds long enough to give you a reprieve from the incessant questions.
The other thing that keeps them occupied are food and snacks.
But electronics and food don’t mix!
Little greasy fingers smearing the screen, with the catastrophic threat of a spilled drink on the display is enough to cause anxiety for any parents! 🙂
This summer I’m planning a couple of small road trips with the family and electronics are the last thing I want to worry about while we’re on the road!
The theme this month over at RYOBI Nation is “On the Road.” I knew instantly what would save my sanity (and our electronics!) during a road trip: DIY tablet holders for the car headrest!
DIY tablet holders for the car headrests!
With my sons’ little hands free while they watch movies on the tablets, there’s less chance of damaging it. Plus, it keeps them entertained for hours at a time to make the trips go much smoother!
The DIY tablet holder for the headrest simply straps on very easily and is adjustable.
Before your road trip, kids can pick their movie selection, buckle in, and–BOOM!–you’re on the road and they’ve got something to keep them occupied for at least a good hour and a half!
And no threats of spilled water or greasy chips on the tablet, either!

Pinned 6/11 I have spent so much time on the road this summer.. had a whirlwind romance that I moved cross country for that did not work out. So I got my heart broken, spent a lot of $ and then I moved back to AZ. But i have not given up on men, love or building. I am really glad to be in my new place, I have been slowly building up my wood working tools. I got the RYOBI sander because of your blog posts. So my trip for the summer is done, but I really want to make and refinish things for my new place. I love refinishing thrift store finds and giving them new life. Some I keep, some I re-sell. Winning these tools would be amazing since with all the money I spent moving cross country TWICE 🙁 and getting into my new place, there is no way I could afford them until I start working and saving again.. We carry on, because we are strong women. Thanks so much for your site. I love it.
This is super cool project idea, I’d like to make this for our friends that have three small kids and spend lots of time in the car traveling.
Wow what a great idea. I’m going to make this for myself!! And yes probably one for the grandkids too. Can’t wait to get started

Love it!
What great timing you have. My husband, two young boys and I are going to drive 3 hours each way to a WWII reunion with my Grandpa on Wednesday this week. This will be a perfect addition to the car for my 5 year old!! We look forward to this reunion every year as it’s a beautiful opportunity to learn from the Greatest Generation as well as world history. The road trip is always a little rough with two young ones but this will make the road a little smoother.
