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!

I want to build a frame to twine rugs on!!
We only have ‘stay-cation’ plans. I would definitely use all of these tools to turn my ultra plain back yard/pool area into an oasis. We don’t even have seating, but have plans to create seats, planters, bbq area, and various loungers. These tools would be a HUGE help!
Checked this out on Ryobi Nation and left a comment! Great project and perfect way to end the debate of who holds the tablet between the grandsons. During the summer we travel on 2 wheels and it’s more about the ride than the destination. Thanks for the opportunity to win the tools. They will be a big help putting on the finish trim on our stairway makeover. Pinned it!
What a great idea! I love the maps. We don’t have any road trips set in stone for this summer, but hopefully heading up to our family’s cottage.
If I won, I would build all of the things with this! I’ve been looking at tutorials for cutting boards in fun shapes (our family has a thing for pig shaped cutting boards) so I would love to make something like that using the jigsaw.
pinned this!
If I win these tools, I would use these to complete projects such as bunk beds for our upcoming foster children!
Our summer road trip will be short this year due to sinking $$ into prepping for foster care (soooo worth it to give little ones a temporary sanctuary!). We are going to go camp out and float the river and maybe even get some fishing in. It’s going to be fun!
We are also about to embark on a road trip out of state to help with a daycamp for underprivileged and homeless children! We are super stoked for that!
About to hit the road in 4 days!!!! Long trip to Florida 6 bodies and 2 dogs! Believe me we need entertainment!! Cute project. Pinned 6/26 😀
