Default Keeping Backseat Vents Unobstructed in 450h

The Owner's Manual states that nothing can block the vents under the rear seat in the 450h since they aid in keeping the battery cool. Has anyone come with a solution that allows items to be placed on the floor, but keeps them a few inches away from the vents?

You can place items on the back seat floor, just don't completely block all the vents, and it will be fine. I was a bit worry about the same thing, but never have a problem otherwise.
