I use a Plano shell-case storage box from K-Mart similar to these at their website. The reason I got this box is because, when flipped onto its side, it will fit under the double-decker cargo shelf. In addition, it has a fairly sturdy latching mechanism that can be padlocked, although it wouldn't be too hard to break open a plastic box. Also, it has a water-resistant rubber seal in the lid.
I don't use the double-decker cargo shelf right now because we are always hauling a full-size baby stroller in the back. However, I may want to use it in the near future, and so I made sure I got a box that would fit under there.
I use a nylon strap called an "arno" strap that I wrap around the handle of the box and lash it to the child-seat tether anchor ring located on the back of the rear seat. This way, if I am in an accident, the box will be restrained and hopefully won't become a missile in the cabin area.
I plan on getting another one of these for more storage because we will soon be getting rid of the stroller for good.

Not sure why, but it seems all the eBay links get '< br%20/ >' entered into them automatically causing the link to fail. Look in the URL address and remove '< br%20/ >' and the link will be ok. I had to insert spaces before and after the chevrons for them to show up in my post.

Lou,
Too tired last night and didn't pay attention to the dimensions. It looks like the boxes you linked on eBay may even fit the hinged area behind the second row seats when the double decker is raised. Typically that triangular area of space is wasted when the deck is in the raised position. I'm going to measure that space later and see.

Looking at the dimensions on the link, it looks like the two smallest might fit in that area behind the rear seats and the double decker cargo. If they fit, you'll probably want to use something like the material used to keep rugs from sliding so that the box stays in one place. (In that area, I usually just keep the fire extinguisher and some miscellaneous stuff that don't make noise if they slide around.)Uneek said:
Other than that, the boxes look OK, but I think they are a little small for my purposes.
