DIY iPad Car Headrest Holder
Yesterday, as part of Obon (お盆), we went to Ibaraki to visit my MIL’s relatives as well as Ohaka Mairi (お墓参り/ Family Grave Visitation). Since I got an iPad lately, we thought of using it to entertain our one-year-old with music videos for this short road trip.
As my iPad was protected with Griffin’s thick and bulky “Survivor” case, we had a hard time finding a suitable car mount for it. So I decided to make one ourselves. Yeah, Super-Mummy to the rescue (with the help of Super-Daddy). And, here is the run-through of our little DIY action:
The materials I used were 2 packets of elastic tapes (30mm wide/ 1m each);
2 pcs of D-rings; and a wood block. Total under 350 yen! ^_^b
After making sure the measurements are right,
I cut the elastic tape accordingly and began my sewing.
Ta-dah! Our very own iPad car headrest holder, and costed less than 350-yen.
Side View: Showing no obstruction and iPad charging port.
We also added non-slip mat in between the ipad and headrest for extra caution.
Our verdict: The iPad survived the car trip but our little guy fell asleep
after the iPad played for less than half an hour. LOL!
