Disclosed is a carrier device for the simple and secure transportation of objects, in particular flower containers, in a vehicle. As disclosed, the carrier device comprises a plurality of panels which when folded in a specific manner, form a device for securing an object. In addition, the device comprises notches for securing itself using a conventional seatbelt of a vehicle. Consequently, the device prevents the object from moving by holding the top of the object and surrounding the sides of the object. The device itself is then held stationary by placing a conventional seatbelt around the device, positioning the seatbelt in notches located in pre-determined location on the device. The design of the carrier device allows for the object to be some distance from the back of the seat and, as a result, prevent damage to the object.
