80% of all accidents occur when you take your eyes off the road for 3 seconds or less. At highway speeds a look away has you traveling half a football field blind.

We’re Drop Stop - The Original and Patented Vehicle Seat Gap Filler & one of ABC’s Shark Tanks most successful and popular selling products in their history | Partners with Lori Greiner.

Drop Stop prevents items (Cell phone, French fries etc) from being dropped into that annoying yet ever so dangerous gap between your seat & center console in your vehicle.

Our Automotive safety device was created to Stop the Drop and keep your eyes on the road, not in your gap.

Our mission is to simply save lives and put an end to the #1 killer on the roads Distracted Driving.

Due to our success, we’ve been able to protect many lives across the USA with over 5 million Drop Stops installed in vehicles and over $50 million in sales.

We’ve also been featured on 11 episodes of Shark Tank, Good Morning America, CNBC, Oprah.com, Howard Stern, The View, The Queen Latifah Show, and more.

Every day we work to save lives and keep drivers safe.

As we continue to strive to save lives and keep people safe on the roads. We’ve now been able to outfit the entire LAPD fleet of over 3,500 police cruisers with Drop Stops around Los Angeles.

In 1 year after those vehicles had traveled over 42,000,000 miles with Drop Stops installed, their collision rate with injuries to Officers dropped by 43% and Drop Stop was the only equipment change.

Driver distraction has become the #1 cause of death for officers on duty; being able to significantly reduce these accidents due to our auto safety device truly ensures we're achieving what we set out to originally do and save lives by reducing distracted driving.

Other milestones this year include:

- Sold over 5 million Drop Stops with over $50 million in sales.

- Drop Stops have become one of the top-selling and most popular products in ABC’s Shark Tank’s show’s history.
- Drop Stops are now sold nationwide in Walmart, The Container Store, soon-to-be Target, thousands of car washes anddealerships, hundreds of grocery and convenience stores, and many more outlets.
- We have achieved over 30,000 Amazon reviews with a rating of 4.6+ stars.
- We have now appeared on over 11 Episodes of ABC’s Emmy Award-winning TV Show - Shark Tank
- We’ve completed over 200 sold-out appearances on QVC.
- Featured across CNBC, Touch of Modern, Oprah, Howard Stern, The View, Queen Latifah, CBS and many more.

Due to Driver Distraction becoming the #1 killer on the roads, there are many automotive products which have been designed tosave lives in the aftermath of a collision. E.g. Airbags & Seatbelts.

Drop Stop differs from these by protecting you and your loved ones before the fact and helps prevent any collisions from happening in the first place.

This is the reason why we’ve achieved such significant achievements, such as becoming one of the top-selling and most popular products in ABC’s Shark Tank’s history, sold in over 3500+ Walmart stores, achieved over $50 million in sales & more.

Secondly, due to our patented technology Drop Stop anchors securely around your seatbelt buckle, providing 100% Gap Coverage in front of, surrounding, and behind the seat belt catch.

Other imitators that exist are not secured, where they risk becoming dislodged and ultimately could end up under your brake pedal, leading to an even larger risk of an accident.

Drop Stop is not only secured, but our product also moves with the seat without any need to readjust or reinstall.

Finally, Drop Stop is made using high-grade neoprene, whichis able to contract or expand into whatever size gap you have.

Unlike other imitations, Drop Stop will never fall apart and lasts a lifetime with one color that blends for all vehicles.

As the gap is always a dark shadow, once you install it, you won’t know it’s there until it Stops the Drop!
