A few decent point made above about securing heavy items in the boot especially the ordinary jack and the fire extinguisher.
It would be a terrible pity if you had a bad bang and the roll cage and air-bag saved you only fer the fire extinguisher to hit you a smack from behind at speed.

[Rat Catcher]

My MKIII Octavia has a strap for a fire extinguisher... although it is located at the very rear of the boot which would seem like the most dangerous location to me but I guess VAG know what they're doing.

I don't think there's any great advantage to lugging workshop tools around. If you can't change a wheel using OEM supplied equipment you might benefit from some formal driving instruction or you may be better suited to a non-driving role. I am the proud owner of a brace of trolley jacks and a bottle jack, all of which reside in my shed but if I were inclined to carry one in the car I reckon the bottle (cheap 4 ton from Halfords) would be the best fit, in fact the foam in the spare wheel well could probably be modified to safely accommodate it.

In fairness them trolley jacks are too big to be lugging around.  Never had a bottle jack. I just hate them poxy scissor things. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but they are just a pain in the hole. I do be knackered jacking it up. Then you've to jack it back down again. Big poxy bendy bar thing, awkward as fook to get through the hole in the jack when it's pissing rain and pitch dark out in the middle of nowhere.  I haven't got a puncture in ages that required changing the wheel but the difference in ease between a trolley and a scissors is noticeable better in ease of operation.  Downside is the storage issue. But if one of them bottle ones is as good or is it?

 Most Bottle jacks are usually too tall horse to fit under the jacking points of yur car ....yu probly know this already ....  especially the prius .... again anything in yur boot that is not secured according to the manufacturers layout.. that has been crash tested .... is a potential injury hazard ... ie spare wheel, scissor jacks etcetera ...all these accessories/ tools  have ther place an position an are safe cause ther tested an designed .... they have all bean tested in a severe sudden deceleration situations .... anything after that is left to   driver discretion.... in other words just trowing a bottle jack or a trolly jack in the boot has the potential to kill or severely injured human apes in the event of a sudden deceleration event .... particularly a head on crash .... the force of a bottle jack in a sudden deceleration event at 50 miles an hour is roughly equivalent to 50 times it's weight .... so obviously a cable tie ain't worth jack shit .... a fat owlone that
Weighs 200 kg sittin behind ya in the event of a sudden deceleration event wit no seat belt on  ... will have the force of multiple tons .... an yu an her wud resemble a Christmas trifle that's forgotten about till end of January in the back of the fridge ... in other words you an her wud become one .... like the spice Girls song ... you probably wud be buried wit half yur  bits stook to her bits .... as regards a trolly jack....DONT PUT IT IN YUR BOOT ffs

I would be with Horse that the scissors jack is not fer me anymore, my lifting and bending days are nearly over fer me.
I'm not too sure how I will go about securing both the trolley jack and fire extinguisher in the boot but I have a few ideas in mind.

[Horse]

I'm not too concerned about it Ken. If it brakes the cable ties it'll have to either come through the back seat or jump over them and hit me in the head. I'd have to be extremely unlucky for that to happen. Hopefully chubby sitting in the back will take the full brunt of it.

[Horse]

Or at least take most of the momentum out of it as it bounces off her jaw.

[Horse]

Sorry your honor but me trolley jack passed the nct and the suitability nor was I ever informed that it could turn into a lethal projectile in the event of a collision.  I don't know what chubby's given out about. She may have got a smack of a jack but I've a fire extinguisher shaped dent in the back of me nut now. And only I was forced to carry it this bullshit would never have happened.
