How well does this secure a dog during side-to-side movement of the car? My chichuahua (15 lbs) always stands up and has her paws on the window

Our dog is quite large (70lb) and the restraint keeps her from being thrown forward in a sudden stop. It also contributes to controlling her when we are exiting the vehicle, giving us time to safely put her on a leash and then releasing the tether.

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

If a dog is determined enough they might be able to wiggle things around, but we have had no problems with our 60 lb Lab/English Pointer Cross. Since your vehicle doesn't have a center arm rest it should even be more secure. The ZooKeeper secures itself to the headrests. If you secure it also so the bottom of the seats it should be just fine. We are very happy with ours.

the adjustment is pretty easy. you can adjust to any length you want. my 43lb dog can put her feet on the arm rest of my truck and stick her head out the window, and that is from the middle seat belt. i really like this product. it works best with a harness.

In my opinion this is a great item. My 18 pound 1 year old dog loves to sit jn it. You have to be very consistant training the puppy to get in when the car starts but after a few times he now jumps right kn. It is eash to lift off when you need to move it and the adjustable straps allow it to sit high enough for your pet to look out the windows. My little Luca jumps on the console and into the baskey. I usr an additional padded car harness thay goes on like a regular dog harness. I do highly recommend this for safety while driving and prevents driving distractions. I use it in both a Nissan Maxima and Altima. It is very sturdy. In my opinion this is a great item. My 18 pound 1 year old dog loves to sit jn it.

This will keep him in the back seat. Mine likes to lean out the windows, and it keeps her from going too far.

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.)

Dan, I used it as traction for my dog's feet while driving. She stands on my lap, with front feet on the car door sill, I wanted to protect the door and give her traction. It's great for protection but it's not really a tacky surface, so I would not call it slip free. It's very spongy and the adhesive holds it well, just not quite slip-free.

I have walked up and down it myself and I am "slightly" over 117lb! The bigger problem you might have is convincing her to use it. It has no sides and the carpet is pretty smooth underfoot. My 18 lb Bichon avoids it like it is evil. Yes I tried all the training tips but it didnt work for my dog. So it sits in a corner. The best use we have found for it thusfar has been helping us slide two upholstered wing chairs up to the second floor via our stairway.

It will hold its position really well at any length. The non-slip portion of the ends is very secure. It won't slide or shimmy around at all. And although it's a pretty simple design, it's very well made. It might be awkward to try to use it for access to a back seat or passenger seat. It's designed ideally for getting a dog in and out of the back of an SUV/truck. Definitely worth the purchase!

I can't answer your question as I only have one dog and he only weighs 25 lbs. But I will tell you, I LOVE THIS ITEM - it allows my dog to run from one window to the other and actually get his front paws ONLY on the front seat console, plus he can lie down. Looking forward to having him with me when I take a 2100 mile road trip this summer. I also like the fact that I don't have to worry that he will dash out of the car before I get a leash on him. Maybe you could actually buy 2 of these zip-lines - one for each dog.

I use the ramp with my hatchback - I have a Jeep. I do know people use it with side doors, just make sure there is enough room for the dog to get to the ramp and not have to jump too far from the seat. If there is room for the dog to get to the floor then any side door would work just as good. I have a 93 lb lab and it was a chore getting her up the ramp, down was never a problem. Once she got the hang of it she was fine and ready to go. The ramp allows us to take the dog places that were our of reach before and had made a big difference in our dogs attitude and ability.

My dog has jumped up on ours and she is 60lbs, and it didn't budge. We also screwed it into the window sill.

It is pretty strong. I use it to keep a lab puppy from going down the stairs. She is about 25 lbs now. It is on carpet and when she jumps up on it, it stay put. If you keep it on a smooth hard surface it would probably move if the dog jumps on it a lot but I doubt it would come apart. It is very versatile and has saved my sanity with a very active puppy.

It would in my Acura MDX SUV. I have a 15lb dog that can't get out. This barrier adjusts up and down and the sides spread out. Really depends on the back of your vehicle.

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.

Yes! The window will move without problem, but I have found that the more I adjust the window, the more likely the door guard is to fall out and end up on the floor of my car.
