Can the dog move around , say from one side of the back seat to the other, as well as lay down without an additional piece?

We have a rather long dog and a compact car -- but using just the parts that came with the harness, he has no problem lying down and even sticking his muzzle up right next to the driver's shoulder. Any more freedom would reduce the safety aspect of the harness, IMO.

If you just use the pieces that come with the Vehicle Safety Harness, he will be able to lay down and move a little, but not from one side to the other, that would defeat the purpose of the harness. If you want him to have the extra ability to move just hook the harness to his leash and attach to seat belt. Hope that helps. I have a wrangle and I hook it to his lease and he has full mobility in the back of my jeep, but cannot jump out..

yes the dog can move around it could move about 10 to 12 inches either way but would not be able to go across the whole back seat. The dog will also be able to lay down there is plenty of room for that. If you do not attach the extra piece from the harness to the seatbelt the dog will not be able to move nor lay down

I have a full size pickup & got a short lead so our rottie had more room to roam....personal preference.

It comes with the extension peice. I have a compact SUV, my 45lb dal at first would get a bit tanggled up cuz he would go underneath the seatbelt (I do place the strap to the middle seatbelt which goes from the car ceiling, and i use the extension strap that comes with the harness. ) He soon earned not to go behind the seatbelt strap. Now he moves around & lays down the foot area in the back seat area with total ease. It protected him numerous times on few of my sharp turns and brakes. Cant say enough about using a good harness!

Yes you can . It is the back that moves from one side or the other. Very easy to put together.

This is designed for the dog to be carried in front of you,although I guess it could be used with the dog on your back,but I would not use it that way.

Yes. My dog is a 90lb black Lab who is never on the correct side of the car. I added a long bungee cord that stretches from one side to the other where the seat joins the backrest. It stays in place pretty well.

No, it will not move the bottom cushion. It is securely attached to the bottom of the seat itself and slides over and around the back of the cusion. This seat is a WINNER!! I have had many friends get this for their dogs and no one has had any complaints. My dog (13 lbs) is so secure in his seat and roomy enough to lie down and nap after a day at dog play or groomer. I attach the adjustable safety strap to his leash link, but it could be attached to a collar as well.

It seems to work fine there as it has some weight to it and it is attached to headrests both in front and in back. The only potentially exposed area is right on the side edges where the dog may not fully jump onto the seat.

Yes, if you have the front section open. When the front section is closed, the dog would have to ball up to lie down. I really like this pack for short periods of time when I need my dog to be on my back. My dog is almost 11 lbs.

Yes it does allow the dog to go without a mess. It is easy to use. I used it with my 100 lb black lab who suffered a back injury with rear quarter paralysis. It was a life saver!

I don't have the low rider attachment I have the seat post clamp so I can't really say, but my dog is very strong she could probably make the back tire slide sideways, but I think the key is to keep your dog moving fast so they don't have time to think about doing anything else.

Not when the cover is hooked and completely in place. The straps go around the head part of the seats so they can not be folded down while hooked. So the only entrance and exit would be the back hatch. It takes me about 3 minutes to hook it up and about the same to take it down and fold it up. Fits very well in my back compartment for storage when not in use. This is a very durable product, I have 2 Golden Retrievers and it is holding up very well.

Yes! There's a zipper you can unzip so the dog can have half of the backseat and someone else can sit back there. I can't guarantee they will be 100% protected from fur (especially with windows down or a dog that constantly moves!), but it does the job.

I'm sure it could but it would be a pain to constantly be moving it from one car to the other, in my opinion. I have an Escape and I leave my back seats down all the time so the net is between the front seats and back...the dogs (3 Pomeranians) have the entire back area.

I guess it could, except the dog is harnessed to the headrest, so the dog wouldn't fly forward in case of an accident. I guess it would do about as much harm as a person who is belted in.

Leslie,I normally keep my dog in the back seat of my car, but on occasion (he always prefers the front seat) I will let him sit up front with me. I just attach the leash or a rope around the passengers seat with enough slack and attach the clasp or other end of rope to the loop on the back of his harness. I allow enough slack for him to move about - somewhat, but not enough so that if I slammed on the brakes he would hit the dash or window.I hope this helps. Best regards,Jeff Turner

My husband can move it by himself. He moves one side, then the other. .. basically "walks" it. He doesn't think it's a big deal to move.

Yes you could do that. It folds in 3 sections so you could fold over the left or right side for a passenger & still have the remaindin 2/3 supported for the dog.

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.
