Is it hard to get the dog in and out of this seat?

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.

With my small dog I had no issue, I picked him up with one hand and disconnected the tether with the other hand

my chihuachau and small miniature pincher jump right in. no Problems. Have two of these. But, normally, they both share one.

if they are wearing a harness, it is relatively easy to just snap them in and out.

I've got leather seats too... it does slide a little bit if the dogs are moving around, but there are these handles that fit down between the seats and back to secure it pretty well.

Yes, it has a section shaped like a U that the seat beat slide in to hold it in place. I take my dogs to the dog park regular and then pull it out when I pick them up from school. It takes less than a minute to install and uninstall.

We've used this seat for about a year now. At first the toddler seat didn't accidentally pop off, but now it does pretty frequently, which is hard when my 3 year old is in a panic because she has to pee really bad and can't get her seat back on :/

I have 2 three kg dogs who fit in one seat. They do have one each but very often curl up together in one, especially in cold weather. you will need an extra strap to secure them

It can be frustrating, as sliding it sideways to open tends to hang up regularly.Some spray lubricant helps somewhat. We have no small children, but have 2small dogs that we keep in the kitchen as needed. The gates are acceptableas long as you realize their downside. Ray K.

Hi Terri. Yes! it is really easy to pull the seat belt through the bottom and also to remove. I bought this because I didn't want to deal with straps. This is one of the best purchases I've ever made. It's great quality and my dog loves it.

No it is not slippery for a dog. Ours has 2 sueded sections that are very dog friendly. Our dog seems quite happy on the seat.

No - just covered with cloth. If your pet is not "nervous" or high spirited, this is a great seat, but for very active pets, (like ours), I have found that the pet can jump out of the seat which is a hassle.

I don't think it will be as secure and may slide around if your dog fidgets. If there is enough of an indentation from top to bottom it may work fine but if it (the seat) is more straight from top to bottom it won't work.

I don't generally loosen the straps each time I take him out. It was harder when he was a newborn because I didn't want to hurt him wrestling his limbs out of the harness! But now he is a few months old and actually moves his arm to help me get him out. If I have to tighten the harness while he is in it, I try and figure out how much I need to tighten it before I buckle it since it is really difficult to pull the strap to tighten it while it is buckled.

Not when the cover is hooked and completely in place. The straps go around the head part of the seats so they can not be folded down while hooked. So the only entrance and exit would be the back hatch. It takes me about 3 minutes to hook it up and about the same to take it down and fold it up. Fits very well in my back compartment for storage when not in use. This is a very durable product, I have 2 Golden Retrievers and it is holding up very well.

It's actually not that easy...I don't think? I just tried and I think you have to pull the seat out to take the fabric out. It would be easy if you actually pulled to take the seat out, but I didn't try.

Once you adjust it to fit your seat, it is very secure. I use this for my 61/2lb. toy poodle and it's an EXCELLENT seat. I would highly recommend this seat.

I have an 18 lb dog and he fits just fine. Sometimes my other dog who is also 18 lbs tries to get in with him and it's a pretty snug fit. I have had the same problem as Nikki with seat panel collapsing and also put a folded blanket under it to support it. I also agree that the legs are very unstable and dangerous so we don't use them. The seat is high enough without them for the dog to see out while sitting in it.

It's hard unless you can make it smooth for the dogs lead to get back and forth over the attached portion without getting stuck.

No, you have to already have a harness for the dog. There is a clip for the harness so they don't climb out. I ended up buying a bigger seat that uses my seatbelt.
