Possibly as the straps are very long you go under the seat with the straps and use bungee cords I guess. The pet carrier as designed works well on our Harley's luggage rack.

You could IF you have some sort of railing alongside the passenger seat to attach the straps to. The bag is very adaptable and the straps very adjustable, but they have to attach to Something! You would need a strong attachment place for the strap at each corner of the bag (although the straps are not quite in the corners). I hope this helps.

My Chihuahua is 7 # she has her little blanket in it . It took several shot trips for her I opened the flaps so she has lite that helped I have a Harley deuce I hook the straps on my swing arm and my turn signals it does not have to be super tight this is one of the better bags out there

I think that 21 pounds might be a little to heavy, with the pet palace you are close to 30 pounds which might exceed the weight limit on the luggage rack. My dog is 6 pounds and has plenty of room. I also have it mounted on an HD Classic trunk with rack and it hangs over about 1 inch so if your rack is smaller it might present a problem.

My sister has traveled twice with her 16 pound doxie on Southwest and it has worked well. You have to have middle seat-the space under seat is wider in middle seat. We originally ordered one with wheels but it wouldn't have provided enough head room for him- this does, but you also have to buy a luggage carrier to carry the carrier, since there are no wheels. It works fine with luggage carrier. He likes to stand up if he can and the top is flexible, so you pull it out a little and open the window so the dog can stick his head out. Keeps him calm :-)

You could mount a backrest and a luggage rack at the same time. If you mount a tour pack the back rest would be unnecessary.

I believe you could, but I prefer the safety of the back seat so there is no trying to climb over to me, the driver. You can adjust it short enough to allow only enough room to be in a sitting or lying position on the bucket seat. Again, I would be more concerned about the safety should an airbag deploy, too. That could be very harmful to a dog and the back seat would just be much safer all around - in my opinion.

The pet carrier is quite big. but it is super safe and great for our pug. However she rides in it attached to the seat and the oposit side of our luggage rack . She rides on my husbands streetglide so with the saddle bags it doesn't seem like it's so big .It definitely would have to go on the seat and the backrest as the secure spot on my softail because my rack is very small.

Yes you can. Just roll back to the cab and secure with Velcro straps, shouldn't 't be a problem .

I bought this for my aunt and I just asked her this question. She said she has already used it in the car as a passenger and it is sturdy enough and steady enough that she enjoys it. She doesn't think you will have a problem unless you have a dog running around on you or kids bumping you. You should be just fine!

The only way to secure is by weight. My dog has not turned it over yet but she could if she jumped on the sides.

The cage has handles which can be used to secure it but the cage we bought was not secured since it was large and fit snugly in the back seat with our 70 pound dog.

We have a luggage rack on road King we put ours on. If we strap to passenger seat it leans against back rest or sissy bar. If u didn't have sissy bar, wouldn't trust it. It's a great bag

I would not think so. First you would have to reinforce bottom as it collapses. There are two straps to go around head rest, seatbelt goes through loops on the back. If it wasn't so much trouble I would send mine back. My 8 pound dog collapsed the bottom, and he hates those straps that go across where he is sitting.

You can thread a strong metal cable under the car and through the two middle holes and secure it with a lock. If it's a snug fit at front and back it will be reasonably secure.

This item is semi-rigid and can easily hold 21 pounds. I measured across the narrowest part for the dogs neck opening left to right 5 inches. If your dog can fit into the dimensions listed for this item and it's neck is not bigger then 5 inches across then you should be ok. The last consideration you would have is do you have a big enough area to mount it? I ride a HD Ultra Classic and I mount it to my luggage rack on my trunk. It should fit on a nice size luggage rack on a smaller bike. Use the dimensions listed and see if you can mount it safely. A little over hang should be fine but make sure you don't hang over your luggage rack too much. Good luck with it, it's made really well and my dog loves riding with it.

I have a luggage rack for mine. It has multiple straps to secure it, but I'd recommend a rack. The packs tall when used together, has the potential for a good bit of weight and could shift if not secured properly.
