I’ve heard of people taking meetings from the backseat of their car, but what the Caro is proposing is pretty wild – turning your driver seat into a makeshift desk for quick in-car productivity. Designed as a stand that locks into your steering wheel and gives you a tabletop surface, the Caro Stand & Table lets you turn your driver seat into a makeshift table for pretty much anything. Work on emails, take quick meetings, watch a movie, get stuff done on road trips, create content on-the-go, heck you can even eat an entire meal on the stand’s tabletop accessory so you don’t accidentally get barbecue sauce on your pants because you kept your food on your lap. The idea, as bizarre as it sounds, is perfect for a whole variety of scenarios – especially for remote work, road trips, city commutes, on-the-go content creation, or just anyone who needs to quickly get stuff done between car rides whether it’s checking a document or checking your make-up. Think about it – your car seat is nothing more than a comfortable chair – so why not have a table along with it? That’s what the Caro Stand & Table sort of addresses. When parked, the stand slips right into your steering wheel, locking into place so you can dock a laptop with near-perfect precision and work from your seat without moving. Want to ditch the laptop for your Chipotle bowl and Jamba Juice shake? The Caro Stand has a four-part folding table that locks into place, giving you a perfect place to eat a meal, place a Nintendo Switch, or even work with a laptop and a mouse on the side. Necessary? Well, maybe. Genius? Absolutely. Designer: Yun Seok Shin (caomobi CEO) Click Here to Buy Now: $79 $119 (34% off). Hurry, only 174/200 left! Car desks have existed for a while now, but search the internet and you’ll see how childish they look. Designed to feel like the kind of tray attached to a child’s high chair, these are mostly designed for holding food and drinks – anything else feels weirdly out of place. The Caro, on the other hand, is designed differently. A minimal, foldable, slick device, the Caro opens up and locks into your steering wheel, giving you a very stable place to dock your laptop. The metal design feels intentional – it’s strong, dissipates heat, and allows the Caro to be very compact. You can dock your laptop in a variety of angles, or ditch the laptop entirely to dock a four-part table that turns your car into anything you want it to be – a dinner table, a vanity table, a place to get a quick nap – it’s entirely your choice. The Caro Stand is rather clever, with its tiny, yet hyper-adjustable form factor. Sort of like one of those laptop stands you’d use on your desk, the Caro Stand is optimized for your steering unit. It unfolds, locks into your steering wheel, and rests against the housing of the steering shaft. The base of the Caro Stand can then rest a laptop on it securely, going from anything as small as an 11″ tablet to a mammoth 18″ laptop. Why not just place the laptop on your lap instead? You could, but anyone who’s tried actually working that way will tell you that the Laptop (despite its name), isn’t really comfortable on the lap. Your neck bends too low, the laptop heats your thighs, and your eyes get strained because of the angle. It isn’t ergonomic at all – which is why most desks are at least a good 6-inches higher than the average lap. The Caro Stand does that too, stably balancing your laptop on the same level as your steering wheel. This is perfect because your neck is used to looking at the steering wheel or the speedometer behind it, and your hands are used to the angle of the wheel itself. Studs let you adjust your laptop, so you’re not limited to just one angle. Sit the laptop flat for the basic version, angle it once and you have an even more ergonomic setup with a lifted display, and angle it further and you can actually slide a keyboard in and work in ways that you wouldn’t even think possible with existing car desks. If you want to take your setup even further, the Caro Stand supports dual-monitor use, simply by allowing you to tilt your laptop upwards and fit an extra portable monitor in place (like the setup shown below). If the stand isn’t enough, the foldable table is Caro’s pièce de résistance. It locks into the stand and folds out into a versatile table that you can use for pretty much anything. The table’s four-part design means you can fold out half the table if you want a compact space at just 13.1″ wide. Open the panels further and it goes up to 23.4″, while being 8.2″ deep. The table sits perfectly flat and has a fairly matte surface that prevents items from sliding around. It also holds a respectable 33lbs (15kg) of weight, so you could easily use it to place your work setup, your lunch spread, or even vlogging gear in case you’re the kind to vlog from your car. Moreover, integrated supports in the center hinge let you angle-adjust your laptop even on the table, giving you a perfect combination of ergonomics and space efficiency. A fair warning: the Caro clearly isn’t meant to be used while the car’s on. It locks INTO the steering wheel, which nobody should do while the car’s running or not parked. It does, however, allow you to freely enter and exit your car without needing to disassemble your setup (so you can pop out for a quick break or grab an extra soda from the drive-thru restaurant). The Caro’s parts are designed to be compact and resilient, docking into the steering wheel with silicone pads that prevent the wheel’s leather from getting damaged, as well as around the laptop docking section to prevent scratches on your device. That being said, it fits most steering wheels and even yokes and should work with almost every car. For pretty much anyone who needs a quick workspace between home and the office, the Caro Stand & Table offers a great alternative to scrambling and struggling with your laptop or your lunch in your car. When all’s said and done, the entire thing folds into a compact format small enough to fit into your glove box. Pretty smart, no? Click Here to Buy Now: $79 $119 (34% off).
