Would this hold my 100 lb lab if he stepped between the seats? How sturdy are the straps?

I think that depends on how often and how hard the dog stomps around in that dead-space between the seats! The canvas is *very* sturdy in appearance so I would have no problem trusting it to hold up to a larger dog. The straps appear to be very sturdy as well but they probably aren't indestructible so how well it lasts will depend on your dog. If the straps did fail it looks like it would be easy enough to sew them back on.

They might but its not ment for a full load just on the straps just met so that the dog doesn't fall between the seats that's why it's a Hamic

I have Golder Ret (85 lbs) and the fabric couldn't hold him. The rip happened in the fabric not the switches. So the fabric is not designed for large dogs. If your dog is 100lbs then this is not for you

My dog only weighs a bit over 13 lbs., so I can't say for sure; however, the people at Kurgo are extremely helpful and their website may even answer your question. The seat is suspended from the headrest. I don't think it would be a problem, but check with them.

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.

yes, for sure. It's pretty sturdy. I have two 10 pounders and they both play on it. However, neither of them go on the top seat, don't know why. I'm very happy with this one, it's much better than store models

I would have to say "yes". My dog is 50 pounds and the item isn't even on it's highest setting. It is adjustable.

im not sure how big the dog is, but my lab is 110 lbs and he pulled it apart. His sister is 86 and she bent the buckle that fits into the seat restraint. very cheaply made, maybe for a 20-50 lb dog ok

I found it very sturdy..."Lou" is 75lb pitbull who apparently loves to swim and the vest held up very well when I used the handles to pull back into our pontoon boat

It probably would, because it would make a bridge across the middle, where I assume there is a pathway between the seats??? However, not sure if that would put added stress on it or not. This is a very well made hammock in comparison to others that I have used, so it probably would hold up to the stress, but it might also depend on the size of your dog.

It is surprisingly sturdy. My dog is 9lbs. My cat is anout 10lbs or more and I would feel comfortable using it for her as well.

This is more sturdy than it looks. I would think if used as pictured (8 section) here for a 60" dog it would be roomy enough. Used as a 4 section would NOT be large enough. Keep in mind the sections height and your dog's jumping ability, because I have had dogs jump out of this. I use this for 8wk - 4mo old foster pups and some of the larger pups have escaped.

Not at all. My 11 pound Maltipoo has been using this and l lift him up and place him into the seat. Likewise, I lift him up to take him out of the seat.

My dog is 5 pounds and there are no problems. It is very sturdy. I would assume that if your pet fits the bag, then the bag should be able to hold the dog. But Tourister might be able to provide more specs.

Personally, I wouldn't go beyond 5 or 6 pounds. The straps might be uncomfortable. It has two metal hooks inside, however, I cut them both out. Because my dog is afraid of anything metal.

I honestly don't know, but I don't think these are sturdy enough for such a large dog. I have a black lab who is 89lbs. She would have tipped these over had I not been standing next to them. I sent mine back.

My 125 lb. Great Dane fits in it just fine so I would assume it would be fine for your lab.

Hopefully this answer isn't coming too late. This went into my spam folder.I use mine on a 130lb Saint Bernard and supports about 1/2 of the area between her front and back legs, so this should give your dog pretty good support. And I believe the straps would be plenty long enough so you wouldn't have to crouch to walk with her. It's very well constructed.

It should. I have a 75lb black lab and he fits well. Just depends on if he/she is a tall dog, then might not be able to sit without hitting top. I doubt that will be an issue though. My dog was right near the top but the airline wasn't concerned at all, as the overall crate is quite big.
