My dogs love to lay down in the car but I still would like to keep them safe. Is there enough give in this harness for them to be able to lay down?

Yes, I use this as a tethering system for my dog in the back of the truck and he lays down all the time

My dog love his harness...it work well in the car or out for a walk...there is adjustments on the harness if you need an area looser....The only thing that I dont like is that there is a thick fleese material on the back side of the flap that fits the front part of my dogs chest...If its warm it proabley makes his warmer...but he doesnt seem to mind...he would rather wear the harness then his collor...The harness is made very well, easy to put on, easy to adjust...best one I have ever found....

In my experience, it's more how much play there is in your hook-up than "give" in the harness that will allow for laying down. I think the harness is comfortable in either position, tho'. I have different ways to attach harnesses and tethers in my vehicle - around the seat-belt buckled, directly into the seat-belt latch, and with a cross-tie (I have a Subaru Baja). Since the connection is on the back, this works with the 1st two alternatives. The tether is adjustable and I think you'll be able to find a length which allows your dogs to lay down without TOO much unwanted movement - obviously, the longer the tether, the greater the risk of injury when the dog reaches the end of it in an accident. I hope this rambling answer helps!

Depends on how you attach it to the belt. There is a short loop that can slide along the shoulder portion. Not enough for my dog to move back and forth, but enough for him to sit and put his nose out.

The belt that connects this harness to the car seat is adjustable, so it works for your dog when it lays down. My dog rides in a booster seat and the harness fastens to the back of the booster, he can lay down, sit or stand very easily.

Yes. I only secure mines by the headrest. Hopefully your dog isn't too big.

You need to shorten the strap, or otherwise they can do that! Just leave it long enough for them to lay down!Just don't attach to their collar, too dangerous and can cause them to choke. I use their cloth harness, and attach the ring on the strap to the ring on their cloth harness, I obtained from Dorothy's Harnesses@gmail.com.

Yes, and actually our dog digs it up when he gets too hot. This has been great to keep our dog contained in my new jeep so he doesn't get the new seats dirty. It is so easy to collapse down when you need to. Would definitely recommend!

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.

Harness would be better, but I tend to forget to put the harness on him when we are leaving. I say if you don't drive crazy, I believe he or she would be okay, but it would be better with the harness...image, something around your neck and when you hit a hard stop...However, for my dog, he tends to stay on the sit and don't have any problems, but if he is hyper that's another story. Overall, its up to you, but I do love it and it helps keep him safe. Sometimes when I stop he is so ready to come with me, with this it stops him, I almost had scare a long time ago when I stop on the side of the highway and he jumped out, scary, so I highly suggest you get this even if you don't have the harness.

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.

YES. Here's what I do: (1) I put a car-safety harness onto our dog; (2) place our SNOOZER Lookout on the passenger-rear seat of my car; (3) hook the car's rear-seat's seat belt as would be done for any passenger sitting there & loop the seat belt through the back of the SNOOZER; (4) place my dog into the SNOOZER Lookout; (5) attach the SNOOZER Lookout's securing-strap to my dog's car-safety harness; (6) loop the SNOOZER's securing-strap through the already hooked car's seat belt -- now my dog is securely seated in the SNOOZER Lookout & we're ready to go. My dog loves it!

Maybe not a good idea, depends also on the size and space of your car and obviously the size of the dog...LOL. Wouldn`t recommend using this for that, the material is very stretchy.

Yes, I think they would protect the dog, if it is just from rolling in the car. But will probably crumble if hit directly. There is a brand of German crates that are guaranteed in a crash not to bend. Not sure you would find any other types that would survive a crush.

Yes, we have our dog wear a harness and it is clipped to the seat. Our dog can stand up turn around look out the window, just not get out of that space and has always been very comfortable.

You will love this. In fact I love this one better than the one I got for my other car (which is nylon) and my dog slides around. The material on this one prevents sliding. The straps are pretty long - I use this one in my SUV. And yes, they do adjust. I feel the product is very well made and very safe for your doggie! Good luck.

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.

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.

The plastic clips do stay secure, I have leather seats and for the most part everything has stayed in place for my 75 pound dog, although he's pretty quiet in the car but i havent' had a car seat that I like so far except for this one. They haven't released at all, and the cover would rip before the clips would release.

I cannot imagine a dog being able to escape a harness as long as you have the proper fit and it is fairly tight. No way my dog would be able to escape this.
