Can you use this in a front bucket seat? She likes to be up front with me, but I don't want her on my lap which is where she like to be.

I believe you could, but I prefer the safety of the back seat so there is no trying to climb over to me, the driver. You can adjust it short enough to allow only enough room to be in a sitting or lying position on the bucket seat. Again, I would be more concerned about the safety should an airbag deploy, too. That could be very harmful to a dog and the back seat would just be much safer all around - in my opinion.

They sell a short strap that connects the harness to the seatbelt--but I would think the reality is she could still stretch over to the driver's seat particularly in a small car or pickup cab.

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.

You can use it up front, but the seatbelt might be long enough for her to try and get into your lap anyway.Maybe you can buckle the seatbelt and see how far it comes over to the driver's side. if it reaches all the way, she'll be able to move that far.

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

Babies R Us and most stores will let you try out installing carseats in your car. Offhand I would think the car would be too small, rear facing would probably make the front seat unusable. Forward facing it may fit, the seat allows for an inch or two of overhang.

If u have a straight across front or back seat then probably not; the bottom strap that goes around the seat is adjustable and has length but the strap in the picture does not unless u have a narrow top to attach to ur seat. Or u can place the car seat on ur seat front or back and use ur seatbelt to keep the seat secure my main concern was to attach my puppy to the car seat with her harness so so was secure while I was driving. I love it though Sorry, I hope I was able to answer ur question Happy Holidays L

It would not be easy to pull out because the car seat should be strapped down very tightly. If you unlatch the system to re-adjust it, then you cannot re-latch it properly while she is sitting in the seat. Once the seat is installed, the angle should not be adjusted while in use.

I completely understand about using the middle seat and agree that is the safest spot. This car seat protector does not require that it be placed in any specific area to be used. There are no latches or loops attached to it. There shouldn't be any reason why you could not use this in the middle seat besides maybe overlapping a little on each of the other seats. I believe you should be fine :-)

It's kind of too big for my Chevy Cruze front bucket seat. Sits on the edges so a quick shift or tight turn may make the seat itself shift from being level if that makes any sense to who reads this. I'm going to try the small and maybe keep the larger one for long trips so he can lay down which was my whole purpose in getting the large.

I don't think so. I believe the splash guard will start slipping down the commode seat but not fit down all the way, leaving to much of the splash guard to try and sit on. Or it won't fit at all. It has been a while since I used the commode; I do remember that the bucket and splash guard is wider than the commode seat so that when you sit down nothing spills over the sides of the bucket. You need the bucket.

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.

Well... TECHNICALLY, you shouldn't put the infant seat in the back. I have a Chicco KeyFit30 though, and my husband forgot to bring the infant adapter to the zoo recently. It actually fit quite nicely (sideways) in the rear while my toddler rode up front. I wouldn't recommend that as a regular configuration though, as there is no safety strap like there is in front.

Not normally, even if it is not tied down due to the backing and resistance between the seat and the pad. But to be sure, use the tie downs that come with the pad. With that said, experiment with the amount of air you put in it as it will move between her bum and the seat due to under-inflation. Kind of a wallowing motion. Some people like this as it is very soft for sitting long periods of time. But the pad itself should not move at all.

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!

I have a 75 lb lab and I don't think I would be comfortable with her in front of me. Your legs are moving to pedal the boat and the further back you are the harder to reach the steering handle. Might be better to have the dog next to you or behind you in the rear foot well.

it has 4 bands on the unit, that gets attached to the top of your seat head restaner. The only problem is that, your dogs can jump up in the middle and end up in your front seat. I have golden ret. 65lbs and i have to tell her to get back in the seat. It's great, when she is not moving around...

I guess you could...I only use mine as a backpack. I did put it on my front with my dog inside the backpack and it wasn't as comfortable for me or my dog. I have never had a problem with the backpack or with my dog inside it. In fact my dog loves being in it. If being able to see your dog the entire time you might want to look for a different carrier. There are front facing carriers.

I don't have a problem with the sides at all, but that could be because my dog is larger than yours. When I fold the seat out, the sides stay rigid and so does the bottom. I also have the bucket seats in my car and truck, so the seat usually lays at a slight slant. You might try adjusting the belt that goes around the back. That is how I got it to lie flatter. Good Luck !

It fits well between two bench style front seats. I am not sure if it would work in a car with bucket seats. If your 20oz container has a handle, the groove cut out for handles would hold it in place, but if it's like a big pop or fast food cup, it might topple depending on how tall it is.

I have not used it in this configuration, so I am not sure if there is room to put the main seat in this attachment. The carseat sits back in the lower position than the lower seat does when it is attached; therefore, I would not recommend using the upper seat in the bottom position. I don't think it would hold the weight properly on the stroller.
