why does one response state that this cannot be worn in the car? I was thinking of purchasing it specifically for a road trip, with a lot of driving.

it must me inflated enough to properly stretch your neck which limits your ability to rotate your neck effectively to see any dangers while driving.

It would be dangerous to drive the car while wearing this unit. because it is very difficult to turn you head when the unit is inflated. No problem to wear it if you are a passenger.

I didn't say that, however it would be in my opinion impossible to use while you are driving, as a passenger, sure, but to drive you cannot turn your head enough to drive, I would not do that.

it gets hot just by running it after a while, thats what the metal heat dispensers are for. But i think if you leave it all day in a car, where temperatures can reach 110 120 degrees, in direct light from the sun, it would do some damage to it, as much as any electronic device for that matter. But if you mean just leaving it in the glove box or another compartment, it should be fine, as long as it isnt getting hit directly by the sun, its pretty small and portable. If you plan to record and leave it there, you can cover it with something if thats the case.

It is not intended for automobiles. It's a good idea but It is designed for indoor use. Should not be a safety issue but the vibration and extreme temperatures in a car could shorten the life of the charger.

Electronics and heat - bad combination. The fact that this thing is metal means it will conduct even more heat than plastic, and possibly transmit it to the sensitive electronics inside. I would never leave mine in the vehicle, even up here in MA - never mind FL!!

couldn't say, I have never had a problem with mine, which I wear every day all day as a business aid to keep hands free. I charge it every night. I have had it go 3 days with little use. Certainly I am aware if I don't charge it. Very easy to charge in the car.

I guess it depends on how hot it gets, but I agree with the other answer. It's pressurized and heat isn't the best thing for it. If you think it's better in your car instead of on your person then I'd contact the manufacturer.

It depends on your mode of transportation. You could remove the legs and reattach them when you reach your destination, but it is still somewhat large/bulky. I could see taking it on a road trip in the car, but not on an airplane or train.

A) It is not leather. B) I wouldn't certify it to throw into a corner C) Goggles are a joke D) It's no bargain as it is probably illegal everywhere in the world. I bought one thinking it would be a good side-car helmet but I won't let anyone wear it. Garbage

I don't carry phones in my pocket, but would guess it would stay put depending on the depth and lining fabric of the pocket. However, it would definitely slip off your leg while driving. The outer shell is very smooth and soft to the touch; nothing to grip it to other surfaces.

You will need assistance to adjust it. You cannot wear it when you drive. It could be dangerous This brace is not wort it we returned the 3 we bought. They all stretched out after a couple of uses. I was excited to get them then very disappointed.

I've not tried it in the car at all because in my state, it's illegal to drive with headphones in your ear. It keeps you from hearing sounds of the road like horns and sirens. As far as phone goes, there is a button you press when you get an incoming call to answer the call. Pretty cool, and the ear buds work great for listening to your call.

We traveled with our cat across the country, but did not use this in the car. She was honestly too scared during the driving portions to do anything except hide and sleep. As soon as we got to the hotel room, we would put this out (and lots of food and water), and she would eventually use it, usually in the middle of the night. If you have a big car, this might fit, but I'm guessing most cats will probably not want to use it in the car while you're driving.

No it's NOT sutiable for use in the car. There is not enough cold air produced by the unit. I thought plugging it in to electricity would help, it didn't! Skip the purchase.

Bottom line... if someone wants it bad enough and you leave it at your car it's entirely possible to steal it. Plenty of good suggestions here to deter. I used a padlock to keep the zipper together and also had plenty of strapping.

Absolutely, ours is 100% secure even after 5 years of use! It is not meant to stay on while driving, but I have left it on for short distances and it has been fine. It is said to hold 200#s.

I wear this around my neck; I've never tried leaving it in the car or a room. I suspect you will need a larger unit for those. Wein makes a plug-in for the car and I use a different ion filter for the bath.

I haven't used it in the car. but it should work fine. The only concern I would have there is stability. The box it came in works pretty good as far as a surface goes. But i think you would take something with you in the car to play it on. And I'm not sure the battery would last a very long road trip. The cable is 2 or 3 feet long. It's a cool little speaker, but not sure about the use of it in the car. :)
