Are there slots for a dog harness to attach to the seatbelt within the back of the car seat?How much does this weigh? What's the type fabric?

There are no slots, which is inconvenient, the fabric is smooth does not get fur embedded easily. Not sure on weight, but not very noticeable taking it in and out of car, maybe 3 lbs or so? I do find the side flaps very helpful. I have older dogs, one of whom drags her rear feet getting in and out. She used to get a leg trapped under the previous cover, with this she doesn't. The up the back design is also helpful keeping dog fur and dirt off the backs of the front seats, previously a problem, as well as the floor. An unintended benefit is that my son's dog when he visited with us used to try to get in the front seat, the cover going up the back of the front seats discourages that.

It depends. If you attach to the rear seatbelt and the dog is not really big it will keep him in the back. The harness will, but it depends on what lenth the leash, or other apparatus is you attach to. We use the attachment which is short to go from the harness to the seatbelt on short trips. In order to have more move around space we attach the 5 foot leash to the harness then to a different spot in the car that gives more room. When we do this the dog gets only to the center console. The harness is excellent. It's how you use it and what you use with it that decides. Harness is a superb well made product. It depends.

You can use the seatbelt without too much trouble except for the center which requires more planning. The slots are well aligned for my car. I usually just unhook one side and fold it out of the way so passengers don't have to sit on a dirty cover. Never tried to install a car seat over it, but I think it would work.

Yes, a black strap attached to the back of the seat (can see in pic, at dog's neck level) clips onto dog's harness/collar. Of course, a harness should be worn and attach car seat strap to harness versus attaching to collar...to prevent choking if dog pulls....or if driver has to slam on brakes.

Hello BethAnn. Not sure if this will attach correctly if you dont have a separate headrest. Reason is, I clip the upper strap around and under the headrest and it attaches easily but securely like that. What makes the upper strap secure is the fact the part of the seatback near the headrest serves as a stop so the strap doesnt rise up and slide off... If your car has a good seam or indent at that spot, it may work. Otherwise, it may slip off which would make the carrier unstable and fall forward..If your pup is not big or heavy and it doesnt pull on that upper strap, it may keep it in place if you pull it tight and down toward the back of the seat more. My Doggie is just about 7 lbs. Perhaps you may retrofit this by somehow locking in the upper with the lower strap to secure it from sliding up and off ...When I have my pup in it I have to say it is a wonderful safe ride. I dont use a collar but a doggie harness and it clips right to the seat. Doggie can not jump or fall out. The only thing with using it is when someone wants to ride in the front with me, I have to remove the seat. Never tried the back seat. You might have more luck that way...and it might be a tighter fit. I think I would try it if the return policy (should it not work) is fair and inexpensive...I love mine. Good Luck!

This seat is a booster and does not have any straps to affix it to the car seat. The only restraint is the actual car restraint which should have a lap belt and shoulder strap. It is only made for larger children so that the car restraint does not fit up to their necks

It is a sturdy fabric, not as heavy as canvas but several layers. We had one complaint that one of the straps broke after only a few uses. We have a Kurgo car seat cover and for years it has provided good protection and a canvas like material with a vinyl water proof backing. We use it for more than transporting the dogs (3). I use it for bringing home plants and flowers etc. I think if you have a small dog the cover you ask about would be fine.

Yes, there are Velcro closure slits for the seat belt buckle. It's been quite a few years since I've had to use a car seat but I know the belt buckle and belts are available. Seat latch anchors.....not sure what that is

it has straps to go around the headrests and another to go around the back of the seat. Really is best if you have cloth seats. I have leather and my dog hates getting into the truck. I LOVE the cover myself. She can't jump to the front with it on as it goes from the back of driver headrest and front passenger headrest down the back and over the floor and over back passenger seat to front back of the back seats. I wish I'd of had this in my last SUV. My dog is ½ Chow Chow and ½ Red Heeler. She is VERY hairy. The straps are buckle clasp type not Velcro.

I first put a harness on my dog and attach him to the safety strap provided. The strap is attached through the seat belt which hold the entire seat in place. See description. My dog didn't like the idea and first because he had free run of the car but quickly got use to the idea. He now jumps into the seat on his own.

It would fit in our highlander, but I would not recommend a fabric crate in the car. We had one collapse on the dog in a minor accident.

Is it safe to use for tethering a dog to a seatbelt using the back ring? I don't believe this product was ever designed for that purpose. The straps are not that wide, so if the dog were to be restrained during an accident, I don't imagine that it would feel too good for the dog. My answer for that would have to be NO. I will say, that the intended purpose for use with dogs that pull has worked wonderfully for my 9 month old boxer dog. Of course, having an excellent trainer direct us didn't hurt either, but this harness is comfortable for dogs and works. I would definitely recommend this harness and proper positive reinforcement techniques together to correct pulling.

yes, there is strap with a hook that will attach to your dog's harness. The hook on my seat was pretty big and heavy and I was afraid it would concuss my small dog. I replaced the hook that came with the unit with a smaller lighter hook and it worked fine. She can move around in the seat easily when tethered - she is not the type of dog who will lie still in the seat.

I no longer have the box it came in, but I remember it was for dogs 20 lbs or less. My dog weighs about 11 or 12 lbs and fits comfortably. It might be a little small for a dog who really weighs 20 lbs. Also note: the booster has a strap that buckles behind the seat, so you need to be able to reach behind the seat to install it. So it won't work in the back seat of my 4 door car. I use it in the front seat of my car or the rear seat in my SUV.

It has a click strap to attach to YOUR dogs harness or collar. Our dog loves her seat and we don't need to use it.She prefers the seat, actually. She sits up higher and can see out and it is comfortable enough she can curl up and lay down when she is tired of looking out. I place her seat behind passenger seat so I can see if she needs attending! We have one in every vehicle!

I assume you mean child seats. It has the slots for seat belts to buckle. you can also fold the cover in half double it and put the car seat on the other side. Don't know how you would tether the seat in the back though
