Does this work with a Toyota Rav? Also, is it sturdy enough to stop a determined 50 pound Lab who doesn't want the back - would rather be driving?

I have a 21030min escape n works really good. I do have smaller dogs, 4 to be exact. But they can be very determined themselves and they have not broken through.

Not sure if it will work with the Rav if I were to guess, it probably would. We have two 100 pound persistent young Labs and it keeps them safely in the back. Hope this helps and good luck!

Yes, I have 3 labs more in the 75-85 lb bracket and this works great. My labs like to drive or be co-pilot. :)

I have a 40 pound dog who doesn't mind his crate and it works fine for him. We've never had any problems with it after about a month. I think it's sturdy enough for a dog who doesn't try to get out.

My dog is about 37 pounds and because the two back wheels are placed wider than the frame of the cabin, it doesn't tip over if he moves around. But he is larger and can't put all his weight on one front corner. If you have three toys dogs and they all stood together on one side of the front, tipping *might* be an issue. The cabin is slanted to discourage dogs from standing in the front corners, but again, it seems physically possible. Maybe go with a 4 wheel model to be safe.

I have a lab pointer mix, and she is on the smaller side so about 40 lbs, and I have two of these, the first one broke by swerving and the second by her standing up, its an iten you shouldn't even take for free. Sorry, my simple answer, NO, don't buy it

I drive a Impreza Subaru wagon and bought the barrier to help keep my dog out of the back of my car. The barrier does not it in my back because the wheel wells are in the way. However, I figured out how to attach the barrier to back seat by using bungee chords around headrests and it works great! It's sturdy doesn't move it make noise, I can see through it just fine, and keeps dog out of the trunk of my car. You might be able to adjust barrier by lowering it and using bungees to secure barrier. But you can not adjust barrier as it had a metal frame

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.

I have a Toyota Camry & it covers all the way to the back doors with no room to spare. At the top there's about 2-3" from the ceiling and it tucks in tight at the bottom so no possibility of dog getting thru to the front. The outside shaping is very sturdy metal so even my 75# dog doesn't budge it. I first had a flimsier one that I paid $35 for & she made it into the front seat in about 3 weeks, then there was no stopping her. If your vehicle is 56" or even wider since mine is snug you should be OK. Great product - I've recommended it to several friends.

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.

I used it for my 95 lb active Lab. it does work . The original one did snap ( due to a faulty weld ) The Mfg. did replace without a problem.

Absolutely. My 98 lb. German Shepherd gets into our SUV as well as into the back of my husbands extended cab GMC Truck with this ramp. It takes a little coaching and guidance at first - she was very hesitant to use it the first few times, but now she sees us put it up, and waits at the bottom - we always hold on to her collar because of the angle, just make sure she doesn't walk over the side. Hope this helps.

I have a honda pilot and it work for me. I do need to assist my dogs with a leash up the upper part of the ramp. I used it every time I take my dogs out in the pilot I can not lift my dogs into the car. The ramp is only way that I can get my lab into the car. (Initially my dogs did not like the ramp but they know it is only way they can get into the car)

The backrests are totally removable so I would think yes, as long as your buddy doesn't go into the foot area where the peddles are.....they could hurt your Lab, but you can peddle slowly and keep an eye out for your Lab. If "Stay" is a command that he/she respects then you are fine.

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.

Yes - this thing is unwieldy - I would have my lab in it and another dog on leash and the handle caused me to keep kicking the back axle - i actually haven't used it in 2 yrs or so since Lucy is gone now. But i remember I was trying to think if there was a way to put a handle extension on it. I also recall that the wheels kinda went all over - Lucy was 55 lbs or so - the stroller needed bigger wheels perhaps?

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 definitely be strong enough. It supports two 80ish pound Labradors in my Silverado on long road trips with no worries.

I have a 75lb lab mix on this and it's fine. He doesn't pull much though. I think if your dog is going to be pulling it a lot it won't hold him.
