Only contact with car is at headrest, via bungees. Wouldn't dog(s) be able to pull base outward and then get to front seats?

My dogs have never done that. They don't seem to mess with the gate. Also the gate is tall enough in my car so it hangs below my back seat area.

I would think so if they tried. My two 90 lb. shepherds are ver calm in the car and sit and lie in the back quietly while I'm driving. When I get nervous is when I open the back to take out just ONE of them and the other one wants to come too. I am going to use additional bungees to secure them with their harnesses.

My mastweiler did just that...... Two extra bungees later he could no longer do that !!!!!

I don't think so, as long as you have the bungees tight enough. I went through 2 different parts of the barrier and went all the way around the headrest. It was pretty tight to the seat and I did use my own bungees.

If you can reach around to fasten the straps behind the seat, Yes. Otherwise, I would not recommend it in the back seat because it can fly up and hurl the pet against the roof.

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.

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.

The base does not detach, so you have to move the whole thing. It's fairly easy to move, especially if you have a newer vehicle with the built in car seat anchors.

The pet barrier goes behind the front bucket seats. The widest part is the top. The two top straps thread around the headrest brackets. One end threads between the two brackets and sticks through the buckle on the barrier ,holding it tight. The two bottom straps thread through the bracket holding the seat to the floor. They also thread around the bracket and come back to go through the buckle on the barrier, pulling till tight. Barrier should be tight to the back of the seats so a small dog wouldn't be able to sneak through to the front seats!!! To fold, just twist the top and bottom in the opposite direction and fold. The wire around the edge will act like a spring so you need to hold it tight to slide it back into the storage bag!!! Hope this helped.

If you travel with the top open the only thing that would hold your pet in is connecting his/her leash to a built-in plastic loop inside. It would not be safe to travel this way. However, it is an option if you were to leave your pet in the car for a few minutes.

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 ~

My larger dog is about 55-60 lbs. and he does fine, but he is not pulling hard on it. There have been a couple times when the dogs have somehow unlocked it from the seatbelt connection by stepping on it, but this is very rare.

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.

No, it can't. This particular pet seat needs the headrest. I can't use it in my old pickup truck for that reason. There are seats that just use the seat belt so you might look into one of those.

Don't blame it on the dog. My dog is 20 pd, a Cocker spaniel and easily jumps through to front sets. There is a gap on both sides by headrest. Toyota Camry.

The seat hangs from the headrest so is more to the center of the seat. I imagine if a dog wanted to it could lean itself out of the seat in such a way that its paws were on the window sill but the window would have to be all the way down

I don't think so if there are no headrests... It has to have something to go around to attach to.

Yes it can go in the front, but if your dog is anything like mine, you'll probably want to combine this with a booster seat. My dog used to sit on my lap too, and I was always so paranoid she would get hurt, but she would whine and try to jump on my lap whenever I put her in the passenger seat, which wasn't safe either. So I got a harnesses and a booster seat and now she's content to sit in the passenger seat, as long as I still pet her. Definitely make sure you can turn the airbag off.

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!

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