Is this suitable to use in conjunction with a seat belt in a car for restraint? Thanks.

I only use IPuppyone when I take my mini doxie for walks. Kaiser always wears his regular collar and I just add the IPuppyone for walks he does not wear the IPuppleone all of the time. I will tell you it is a great product and takes the strain off of the dogs neck when walking.

I don't put the seat belt through the harness if that is what you are referring to. They sell very short leashes that can be hooked onto the harness then clipped to the seat belt and that has worked very well.

I really don't know the answer to that question, but I doubt it. There is a single metal loop located on the top (on dog's back) that the leash connects to, and the straps connect together with a plastic safety clasp. I don't see any slits or other connectors that seatbelt would slip through, but I have never restrained a dog with seatbelt, and so I don't really know what to look for.

There is a velcro strap on the handle that you can fasten around a seat belt, but it does not appear to be designed to be "secured" in a car. I still love this product and I feel safe putting my pet into it for a road trip.

I only use it in the back seat and it works great. It is quite large-it takes up half of the back seat in my Escape. Don't think I could get 2 back there since it uses the seat belt as anchor and I use a clip from harness to another seat belt receptacle to secure my dog. (Dog cannot be secured to seat)

Yes you can use seatbelts with this seat protector. You may have to work with it a little depending on your car. It works great on the rear seat of our 2014 CRV. Cleaning a breeze and the puppy we recently brought to our grandsons loved the feel of the fabric, no slipping. It is great for the grandsons too!

Yes this would work fine. It's sturdy and stayed in place with the seatbelt for us across country.

You have both options with this one. I use the anchors, which I think are the best way to secure it if you have the anchors installed in your car. I didn't try the seatbelt attachment to the base though.

Yes. It can be used with the seatbelt, but does not have the Latch option without the base.

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.

This buckle really would not help. The harness on your dog is the genuine factor. You must have a harness that displaces the force of the accident and momentum and around the rib cage of the dog. You cannot attach this to a regular collar, gentle leader, or standard harness that loops around body and neck. If you are looking to buckle in your dog over crate or gated travel, there are leashes with a "traffic control" loop about 1 to 1 1/2 foot from the clasp you can just use your actual car seat belt through the loop.

Yes. Short of sitting in it myself, I keep pressing down on the seat and pulling the strap, from both sides of the car. Additionally, we've taken the anchor strap used in the forward facing position and clipped it to the bar under the rear seat. This does help it feel more secure.

When using this on a plane, it is only approved to be used as a 5 pt harness car seat. The seat belt goes through the belt path in the back. I use it in my car with the seat belt and have no problem. I imagine a plane wouldn't be much different.

I use it when driving and it has been a life saver on long trips. It keeps it's shape, it's alitle more resilient than others I've tried. If your trying to use it to elevate yourself it will only raise your seat by about an inch,not sure that might help.

Hi, I think that would be a great idea as long as the tether was long enough so the dog was comfortable. You could always hook two of them together to make it longer if needed. I'm glad you asked because this safety harness saved our little chihuahua (Bitsy's) life. I didn't think a car harness was necessary, but we were going on a lot of long trips and my daughter nagged me until I got one. Six months later we were hit by a cab at 65mph on a 3 lane interstate. Bitsy was hooked to my daughters seatbelt (front passenger), unfortunately the seatbelt did NOT lock and airbag did NOT deploy. My daughters head shattered our windshield and she and Bitsy were thrown around as the car spun around 5 times then hit the center concrete divider head on!! We all suffered severe whiplash and Bitsy injured her left leg but we are certain that if not tethered she would have shot out of the car on impact and been dead. I am so grateful she had her harness and if only Toyota's safety equipment had worked properly they both would have not been injured. I wish I could have thought to tether both of them to the anchor but who knew. I will hook Bitsy to it next time. Good luck!

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 use this in the rear seat of my car and it works fine with the different collars or harness I have. It is a little flimsy but as yet hasn't failed, I only use it with my small dog.

It is legal in my state to use only seatbelts, but, I used the hooks down in the seat. Some vehiclex do not have them. This carseat is awesome, btw. Comforyable and heavily padded.

I'm sure you could put the seat belt through it but not made for that purpose
