How do you keep your dog in the seat?

My dog is a 6 lb toy. He wears his harness during the car ride which is attached to a clip that comes with the seat (therefore, he can't jump out). For the price, you can't beat this seat. I like it very much.

Is there a way for the seatbelt to lock? I put the harness on my dog and he slowly made his way to the front seat. Help!

In my car I just tuck the hook under the seat as best as I can. What I found is that the hook will catch very slightly to stop the cover from being completely removed from the seat when my larger dog moves around. In my husband's truck, there are actual anchors installed on the seats (which I assume are there to secure cargo) so we use those to keep the cover in place when we are in his truck. I have found between the seat headrest straps and the elastic straps, the cover stays in place very well without the need for additional anchoring although it is nice to have the additional ability to secure the cover in the truck.

The carrier easily is strapped with a seat belt, even a shoulder strap seat belt. I there is also a tether strap inside the carrier to secure your dog. This has been great for our dachshund who is not a good car rider.

Well, my dad has a teacup yorkie and she's always wanting to peek out, but unless she's up at the level of the window, for example, on a box, it will be difficult for her to see out the window. They can pop their head up out of the carrier which, again, depends upon how high up the carrier is on the seat, your dog may be able to see outside that way. It would be my recommendation then, to place a folded up blanket on the seat, underneath the carrier to allow more visibility. Remember, the carrier should still be strapped in by the seat belt, so as long as you are able to still achieve that, you can raise the carrier as high as it is safe for the animal. I hope that will answer your question.

You can set it on the seat or suspend it above the seat. I suspend it just enough that her weight puts it on the seat allowing for a little springing motion. Our yorkie dose very well in it. I did take apart the harness strap and replace the heavy latch with a much lighter one.

My dog enters the car by the door on the side of the car, so the ramp sits on the car seat. If entering the car by the back, you probably need to put an old bath towel on the car bumper.

I would use the long Velcro strap and just slide the seat belt in from top to bottom and snap the seat belt securely, You can then reposition the straps and reconnect the Velcro to the bag. I personally would nut use any other strap on the bag. The two on the top might work if you have an old single strap belt but that would push down on the pet. It is possible to use just one of the straps on top the same way as I described using the back strap if you want your pet to sit like they show in the photo. I just prefer to have my pet further away from any air bags, just in case.

I do. My dog travels with two harnesses on. I lock both into the dog seat then remove the traveling harness when I reach my destination. The walking harness stays on. Hope this helps...

I have mine attached to the headrest in the back.. there is an extra leash on it to attach to color.. that way the dog can go from side to side or window to window and keeps them in the backseat or the back of an SUV.. keeps them from jumping into the front seat too.. IF u shorten the leash! I love mine.. Keeps Maggee from trying to get in my lap~

I place a kitchen stool in front of the gate. That keeps her from pushing it aside

I just wrap it around the cage as I would a passenger. On long trips, I have the rear seats of my SUV down I use bungee cords hooked from the cage into the headrest posts of the front passenger/or driver. I found it keeps the carrier from tipping over during sudden stops. I do the same for my dog kennels. Secure them down with Bungee cords.

You need enough space for the dog to stand up in comfortably. Also it needs to be wide and deep enough for them to move around some and lay comfortably. Measure you dog and see.

Hi Chloe - The center access panel is pretty much a stiff piece of cardboard (or whatever is enclosed in canvas). If the dog is large and pushy enough, it can probably find a way to get past anything blocking the front seat gap. If the dog is respectful of visual barriers and doesn't try to jump over it, this might do the trick.

We put a large pillow or a folded blanket in the bottom to give our 14 pound dog a comfortable, stable platform to sit & stand as he chooses. There is no 'floor' to the trailer, only the nylon fabric which is not suitable for most pets. We leave the top cover unattached, so we also modified a leash that is lashed to one of the rear frame rails at a length that prevents our dog from jumping out, but still give him leeway to move around in the trailer.

Feed the little elastic straps on the seat cover through the eye hole of the hook, then pull the hook through the center of the elastic strap and tighten. Then hook it onto something sturdy to keep the seat covers from moving around
