would it work to hook the tether to the seat hooks on the floor of a minivan? Still safe?

I don't think it would be safe..The point is to restrain with little chance of twisting or "flinging" should an accident occur. Mine is tethered to the back seat with the seatbelt so that she can turn a bit on the seat and re-adjust to get comfortable or lie down, but I have placed padded "boxes" in the floor wells to prevent her sliding off the seat. So, short of an overturned car, she should be ok... But tethered to the floor would seem to afford more opportunity for errant (and possibly injuring) movement. Just my thoughts, though...

I wouldn't because it is a plastic breakable item that would probably come apart or off the car seat in an impact or accident that reduces the stability inside the car. The chance of your baby becoming injured if this broke or if it hit him in some way (perhaps from other objects coming loose inside the car) is not worth the risk. I used with my kids, and will use with my grandkids, safe plastic toy links with toys attached because tons of little things can be attached to those, even a binky tether. You can also easily change the toys from hard to soft and in between. Just don't make the links long enough for him to wrap them around his neck while you're busy driving.

I would think so. I used it with a convertible carseat with the strap fed under the back padding. I would just wonder if the base would drag on the ground while pulling.

The unit also seatbelts around the seat as well as over the headrest. I don't think it would work nor do I think it would safe for the dog. The straps that come with it would not reach. I love using mine for my small dog but I use it on the passenger seat.

Absolutely not recommended. The leverage would make the connection unsafe even dangerous, depending on the load. Some states have legal restrictions; consult your states regulations.

Yes it can. Use the existing seat belt to anchor it to the seat. Works great!

It does not saddle the seat that deep so as long as you can rout the straps to secure it it should work

I have no way of knowing for sure, but would assume that as long as it has standard seatbelt hooks, that it would work.

When rear facing, the tether is supposed to go from the top of the seat down to the floor. Newer cars have a hook that you can tether to, older cars you can tether to the seat base in front of the seat. There is a little loop attachment in the packaging to use if you need to loop around the seat base, and the clip is for clipping into the hook in newer vehicles.

No, it won't work. this is just a strap to help stablize the TV in case kids knock them over.

Used mine on a little car. The straps did not bother anyone riding in the car.

If you secure the carrier properly it would be safe. You would have to use either the supplied bungee cords or buy some that you would feel provide better support.

Yes,if you're using Bungee cords or possibly a mini-chain lock.Personally,i would suggest the former like which i've done.

I used carabiner clips to attach the straps to the child safety anchors on each side above the seat backs. It worked perfectly in a car with no headrests :-)

You could probably bungee a car seat to it (minus the baby) I think it would work

I am not sure, but I think it would be fine. I used it on a mini van with no problem.

I didn't attach it to the floor because it was taunt enough for my purposes in my MINI. I used bungee cords to attach sides to handle grip on pass door & on a latch behind drivers seat. I was satisfied with it for my purpose but a smart dog could get over it if they really wanted to.
