would it work to hook the tether to the seat hooks on the floor of a minivan? Still safe?

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 have used it to connect a hitch/haul basket for carrying light loads, under 900 pounds, as that is the hitch rating on my car. Works fine.

Yes but its a pain to install. I can't use the tethers, I had to use the seat belt, and it needs to be balanced with a pool noodle.

Well....you could. You would have to run the strap around the roof/through the car to hold it down. I would invest in a roof rack if you plan on doing this

Yes, I use this as a tethering system for my dog in the back of the truck and he lays down all the time

No. You'd have to make something that would work. I suggest a string tether of some sort.

I don't see why it would not work. You might have the mat move on you some. I have noticed that the passenger side moves some when it is not seated correctly on the floor. The posts on the drivers side keep the mat from slipping when driving.

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.

Hi Colleen,I don't see why not. We never had any one person get towed. I'm thinking it might make it tow a little crooked because the weight isn't distributed or centered. sorry I couldn't help you more.

I wouldn't because it is a plastic breakable item that would probably come apart or off the car seat in an impact or accident that reduces the stability inside the car. The chance of your baby becoming injured if this broke or if it hit him in some way (perhaps from other objects coming loose inside the car) is not worth the risk. I used with my kids, and will use with my grandkids, safe plastic toy links with toys attached because tons of little things can be attached to those, even a binky tether. You can also easily change the toys from hard to soft and in between. Just don't make the links long enough for him to wrap them around his neck while you're busy driving.

yes for a car but not probably a suv it has screws to secure it to the ground if necessary or it would probably slip. i bought it for a wheelchair to come down some steps temporarily but it was too steep.

Hi Jill. I use it to carry a SUP on a car but it should work just fine on a van.

We didn't try it but I'm guessing it depends on the car seat. If the seat isn't too angled it would work. Stuff might slide down if it is tilted alot.

I haven't been able to find any such tether, but then I'd also be a little hesitant to set something up, since the weight of some systems would be a pretty big hit to you, if you dropped it. One issue is that the tether would have to be connected to the handle, as anywhere else would constantly change the balance. It's certainly nerve wracking sometimes, but it can be best to just get a solid grip, and watch your step. Good boots, tight screws, planning and practice are going to be your best bet. Wish I could give you a better answer, but that's all I have.

As long as there is something you can hook yhe straps around or inbetween it should work great

It might work if you can get it to fit snuggly. Good idea if you can get it to work. I use my pool tether daily and am very happy with it.
