I'm getting this for a seizure response dog. She'll be wearing a harness whenever we're out and about. Can I place the car harness on top of the other

I do. My dog travels with two harnesses on. I lock both into the dog seat then remove the traveling harness when I reach my destination. The walking harness stays on. Hope this helps...

Not really. The dog can move around inside the vehicle. The harness attaches to the shoulder restraint of the seatbelt, which allows a decent bit of movement. My pup can easily get to a window. We have, however, been in a fairly serious car accident with her in the harness and with the sudden movement the shoulder restraint engages, keeping your pup in place. Thankfully she was perfectly safe, and I attribute that completely to the Kurgo harness, because she would have gone flying otherwise.

Don't know if that will be a problem. This is not designed as a pet garment. Might be uncomfortable for long time wear. It's not a very soft material. It is tightly woven to be durable. Plus there are lift handles which hang when not in use that may awkward when not in use. I have a very tolerant large dog and I would never consider leaving him in a harness for any longer than needed to get in and out of car or to move him as needed.

there is a strap to fasten to your dog's harness or collar. you may strap in your pet or leave it free to jump in or out.

You tie it to the front seats so you could tie it low or high, whatever you need. If you tie it tightly I don't think your dog would be able to nose his way under it. The trick is to tie it tightly to the 2 front seats. Good luck ~

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!

I have not used the harness as a safety device for the car. It sounds like a good idea and I can see how it might work. If the harness is Not properly fitted on your pet they can wiggle out of the harness I still think the safetest method for traveling with a pet is a crate. Good Luck I hope this helps with your question.

Everything you need for the car is iincluded. All you need is a leash for getting out of the car for breaks. You can clip your leash right onto the harness without taking it off your dog!

I think it would be best for you to contact the seller of this harness. I no longer use the harness. Previous answer by David is excellent. Give that loving doggie a big hug and kiss for me.

You can set it on the seat or suspend it above the seat. I suspend it just enough that her weight puts it on the seat allowing for a little springing motion. Our yorkie dose very well in it. I did take apart the harness strap and replace the heavy latch with a much lighter one.

we have ours in the backseat of car on top of the armrest (in the backseat). we run the middle seat belt through the straps on the back. our dog also wears a riding harness. it works great for her!

I just use a regular harness. I read somewhere that there is a 2nd tether in case you have a 2nd dog sharing the seat.

You have to put your own harness/vest on your dog. There is a strap that then attaches to the back of your harness. The dog does not have much room to wiggle around but can move, just not far.

Yes, if you adjust the zip line loosely enough. My dog loves being in the back of the SUV and lying on her bed--and then moving up to ride shotgun in the front passenger seat. It took awhile for me to adjust it at the sweet spot where she could do all of that--yet still taut enough that she wouldn't bump her nose on the dash if I made a quick stop. But once there, it's been great. I now have a PupZIP in both cars.

Easily when connection is put on upper cross-body portion of seat belt. Less mobility genearlly if put on the across waist portion. My dog stands, butt against the seat back, nose forward as far as he can reach. If not for the restraint, the 75-lb backseat driver would be standing on the console between my two front seats, hunkered down to look out the front windshield. (He thinks he's driving.)
