The description says it keeps the dog in the cargo area, where my Wolf-husky refuses to ride. Can it be placed directly behind front seats of a Prius?

I have a Toyota Yaris. It does not fit from floor to roof. I could only use it with the back seat folded down. The seat does not fold down flat so it wasn't tight despite giving all the force we could give. It requires two people to adjust. It proved to not work in my car. Want to buy a used one?

I only use this in the back seat, I would never buckle my dog into the front seat BECAUSE of the air bag. She isn't really heavy enough to put the passenger air bag light on but I wouldn't want to chance the air bag going off and killing her with it's force as it did a friend's friend's dog. So the answer to your question is it probably won't keep the airbag from deploying but it will keep the dog from becoming a missle in a forceful accident. My two dogs in the backseat won't be thrown into the front seat when they wear their "seat belts" that attach to their car harnesses (never their collars due to choking hazard).

I have a 2013 Chev. Equinox and so far have only used mine behind the front seats and it works great for our Bouvier des Flandre and sometimes, our daughter's Labradoodle; but we are getting a new puppy (Bouvier) and I am contemplating getting another one for the rear seats so the puppy cannot get into the cargo area if I should go shopping.

Just guessing here, but I would think you would have to first release the strap from the front headrest in order to let the dog in. Once the dog is in you could replace the strap over the headrest. I think this should work!

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.

My nine pound dog can see out the side window and front windshield. I have bucket seats in the front and it is too far away for him to stick his head out, unless he would stand and lean toward the window. I don't think that would be a safe option.

It has 2 straps that go around the second seat headrests (these are adjustable and work great). Then, you are given a package of 6 adhesive velcro strips that you can use to "custom" fit the cargo cover to the sides of your vehicle. You stick one side on the cargo cover and position the other to your vehicle (I put mine over where the wheels are and along the side). The back just lays flat, over the bottom of your cargo area. I have a 70 lb dog and this product works amazingly for us. It has never shifted or come off where the velcro is attached.

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 ~

i don't think a regular seat belt would work with it; maybe not even one built for dogs; but it does have a snap (short leash type thing) attached to the tagalong that keeps them from jumping out and give some security, or at least a sense of it for me and the dog. it's not a heavy duty dog seat belt type thing I've seen at the pet stores, but my dog wouldn't go for that at all. she likes this cuz she can see out, and I think she feels safer with my fast corner turns. I think she wouldn't survive a bad wreck from it, but it would keep her from going thru the windshield, or at least keep her from jumping out when help came. hope this helps. i don't think a regular seat belt would work with it; maybe not even one built for dogs; but it does have a snap (short leash type thing) attached to the tagalong that keeps them from jumping out and give some security, or at least a sense of it for me and the dog. it's not a heavy duty dog seat belt type thing I've seen at the pet stores, but my dog wouldn't go for that at all. she likes this cuz she can see out, and I think she feels safer with my fast corner turns.

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!

No there isn't, but the trim/border at the top is a very sturdy material which is pulled securely tight around the headrests of both front seats. It doesn't sag but stays in place to prevent most dogs from getting over into the front seats. I have a Shelty and a Shitzhu on a plywood board which goes across the backseat with supports in the floor area - the barrier has successfully held them where I want them! I suppose a larger dog might get over the barrier because there is space between the top of the seatback and the ceiling. But it would need to be highly motivated! I had tried to improvise my own barrier before I found this one - it was not successful - too flimsy!

Probably not very well, unless you have very large seat belts. I do not think it has any loops for attaching it down either. Best bet for keeping your pet safe on the road is to get it a seat belt harness while your driving and then put them in the crate when you arrive. Or get a stronger crate that could support them better in an accident.

If you clip the vest to the seatbelt in the back seat the dog can stand and move that area. If clipped to the front seatbelt the dog will not be able to climb into the back but can look out of the window.

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

It depends on how well you can anchor it down. I'm not familiar with the layout of a Prius, but if you can secure it tightly you shouldn't have any problems. We had to run a pole along the top of ours because my big wolfdog would just lean into and squirm her way over the top of it. The pole put a stop to that. And, when she was a baby she'd tried and squeeze through the sides, but no way could she make it because it's tightly secured. The good thing about this netting is the many grommets it has and the bungies that you can easily adjust to make it fit like you want it. You have many options. I've had mine for a long time now and I loved it when I got and still love it! Highly recommended. It depends on how well you can anchor it down.

I have a 2013 equinox, and a 80 lb German Shepard. I have only tried it attached to the back of the front seats, not in the rear cargo area. I found that the bungee cords were not the same as the ones in the directions and I was not able to adjust them, I had to jerry -rig them to the seats. I was also unable to attach this to the bottom of the seats easily. It still moves around attached to the seats, but does keep the dog more seperated from me and . The gate height may not fit in the back cargo area, I will see if I can get this in the way back.

No, you can't. That's why all 3 of my dogs were able to either jump right over it or scoot under it and into the front seat or even through the sides of it. I wouldn't waste my money on this item.
