need help finding the solution to stop things from moving around on vehicle ?

Hi, I am trying to look for the solution or some kind of a container that I can put the stuff inside my vehicle from moving back and forth. For example, let's say I ordered some fast foods and I usually put the bag in front or the back of the carpet floors. The problem is, the bag keeps moving forward and backward while I am driving my 4Runner. While I accelerate, the bag moves backward, and when I press the brake, the bag moves forward. What do you guys usually put on your rig to keep your gocery items, fast food bag, or even soft drinks from moving around ? any helpful suggestions/ comments would be appreciated. Or if you know a website where I can order that special item to keep things from moving around, please post it up as well. Thank you

I just go easy on the gas and brake and don't go around the corners on two wheels.
You could just get a small tote box for putting things in.

i bought a big plastic bin, then got some felt pads (big squares with sticky backing) and stuck em in the corners. it never moves and holds a TON of stuff.

If it doesn't make a mess, then I just let stuff fly around

Depends on what I'm trying to secure, but there are different ways for different stuff...
Hard to give a straight answer on this.

For fast food, I take everything out of the bag and turf the bag before I start driving. Then put the drink in the cupholder, or if it's too large I just stick it between my legs.

If it can be bungeed, bungee it. I carry a crapload of them in my rig of all sizes.

I use a smaller Rubbermaid container, with some of those grip drawer mats that stop stuff from moving around.

I don't know about 3rd gen, but the '03s and up have a neat cargo net system to keep small items from wandering about in the rear. And for larger items, they make a cargo bin system that uses velcro pads to anchor some movable blocks to the carpet in the rear that will secure larger items. It also works well.
