Driving with filled jars is quite tricky. One time, I turned a little too fast that the jar fell over in the trunk causing a little of flooding to clean. Another time, I managed to turn slowly without the car behind me honking impatiently. Unfortunately, I forgot that I had left the jar in the car under a hot summer weather for grocery shopping. So the bottom of the jar became rounded and wouldn't stand still. *Baaaammm* the jar fell over again even on a slow turn. Another time Marcel got his turn to cause the fall. This time was pretty drastic because we ended up cracking the lever. As a result, we had to get a new jar which is NOT that cheap.
Tired with all this. Marcel and I were in search of a way to secure our water jars in the car. Our solution is to secure the seat belt around the jars. Yes, it works. We've done it for almost 2 years now.
Recently we've tried to fill the 5-gallon jar with just 3 gallons of water to make it easier to carry to the 3rd floor
You can also try to secure any large items (laptop bag, watermelon, milk gallon, etc) this way. That way they can stay where they are and avoid further injury or mess that could have happened when you brake or turn hard.
May you find this useful!
