How do I keep things from falling between my car seat and center console?
Short answerUse a seat-gap filler and stop reaching down while driving.

The real problem is not the gap. It’s the reach. NHTSA’s driver-inattention material includes reaching for objects in the vehicle as a distraction, and that is the part worth fixing first. If you can avoid the low, blind grab for your phone, keys, or cards, you’ve already made the car safer.

A seat-gap filler is a boring accessory, which is exactly why it works. It blocks the crack between the seat and console so small things do not disappear in the first place. The best one is the one that fits snugly, does not rattle, and does not create more clutter than it removes.

If you want the quick fix, a car seat gap filler is the simplest answer.
