How can this be used when the car is in motion, what about seat belts?

We used this on our trip to Myrtle Beach, it was a 17 hour car ride, and I loved it!! I did not even try to use the seat belts while lying on this but I would think that it might be difficult to do.

If there are seatbelt laws in place you can be ticketed or worse for using this while driving.

The manual has instructions. you can use a seatbelt or anchors or a tether anchor. I use the seatbelt method myself.

There are ways to secure it. There's Velcro on the bottom and a strap across the back. You could slip a seat belt through the strap or put a seat cover on that the Velcro would stick to. I guess you could hang it from the headrest, but it doesn't seem like that would be sturdy. Overall I've enjoyed this product. Will probably last me 1 year or so.

Hello! The answer is Not. The base has his own belts and this are short, even you can use the car's sitbelt but only as back-facing. Regards

There is a strap on the top. We use that to get the carrier in and out of the car. Otherwise, we just use the rolling feature of the carrier. It would be too bulky to use with a shoulder strap.

The answers that you've already received are all good suggestions. I've only done short trips so far, and I just used the seat belt across the unit. it's reasonably heavy so it doesn't move much.

We suggest that you refer to your vehicle manual for their recommendations on placement of child seats in that specific vehicle. You will then use the seatbelt to properly secure the child and seat in the proper position. Again, you will want to refer to your vehicle manual to ensure that you are properly using the seatbelts to properly restrain the child.

You can make the strap that attaches to the seat belt of your car shorter. This seat belt allows them as much movement as you want by adjusting the straps. My border collie loves it because she can still move around a bit but if I had to stop short - then, I know that she is protected. Much safer for her and for me when I'm driving!

The car vehicle auto seat safety belt is great, but the one I purchased was of poor quality. It will work wherever you have a seat buckle. Make sure you purchase a good quality car vehicle auto seat safety belt. The safety belt hooks to our dogs harness and we feel they are much safer, and we are much safer as well, when our dogs are in the car.

It probably depends upon how fast you drive, whether or not the car flips over and how quickly your stopped. For real dog safety, check reviews on dog seat belts. Don't rely solely on this product.

The harness comes with a strap that attaches to the seatbelt. When you put your dog in the car you will need to pull the seatbelt out until it locks and then you can attach the strap. When you hit the brakes the tension on the seatbelt won't let the dog move. It has helped alot with my dog. She used to almost fall to the floorboard when I braked. Now she seems more relaxed and safe...along with myself. ;)

If the car stops fast, the seat belt will lock to hold the child in place. Just like when you are in a seat belt and lean down. Obviously, your chin on your knees is not the ideal crash position, so teaching the proper way to ride in a car is important.

No. It's suppose to be used with the car's seat belt. My son loves this car seat.

You don't need a seat belt from your car with this seat. It attaches not only to the head rest of your car seat, but also has its own seat belt that goes around the entire seat inside your car. It also has a hook to attach to your dogs harness that they wear. You would not want to hook it to a collar and choke them. My Sophie, maltese, loves it. You can raise it to different heights for them to see out of the car or not. I love it. Great purchase.

It can be used in any car that has a seat belt system that clicks!! You just put the metal U where the seat belt U goes! I have 2 big dogs, use this one & one similar without problems!!

You have the option of either seatbelt or latch.. We really love these car seats!

You could probably put the lap belt part of the seat belt through the loop at the rear of the console which should restrain the console in an emergency stop.
