Has anyone used this with a dog car seat harness? I'm just wondering how the harness will attach to the car if the entire seat is covered....

If the harness connects to the seat belt attachment there are slots for those otherwise the seat is covered.

You would have to open the seam and pull the belt attachment through it or keep the one side of the cover up so you can attach the belt underneath. The hammock cover for the backseat has the opening already and your dog would be safer in the backseat while you are driving. I even purchased the barrier so my Aussies remain in the back seat and can't try and sit in the front bucket seat. The products are very durable and I've machine washed them multiple times and always hang to dry.

If your harness attaches to the seat belt attachment, it will work in the back seat. There are velcro slots in the bench seat protector that allow the harness to clip into the seat belt base. If you use it in the front seat (which I would not recommend), it will also work if you lift up the side of the protector and tuck in behind the belt attachment-but if you have airbags you likely will kill your pet in an accident

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.

I don't have a car seat, but don't see any reason why you wouldn't still be able to use one. The cover has openings to allow access to seat belt buckle, as Kyle stated, and the upper straps are usually placed around the rear headrests (but they can still be moved up or down despite the strap around them), it doesn't obstruct access to the car seat anchors in my Hyundai (or in my previous Honda) LOL, They market the seat cover for pets, but it will equally save your seats from infant created spills ;-)

I only use this in the back seat, I would never buckle my dog into the front seat BECAUSE of the air bag. She isn't really heavy enough to put the passenger air bag light on but I wouldn't want to chance the air bag going off and killing her with it's force as it did a friend's friend's dog. So the answer to your question is it probably won't keep the airbag from deploying but it will keep the dog from becoming a missle in a forceful accident. My two dogs in the backseat won't be thrown into the front seat when they wear their "seat belts" that attach to their car harnesses (never their collars due to choking hazard).

As long as the seat can b pulled down to connect the security strap that goes around the seat itself.There are two needed straps..the one around the headrest and another one that straps around the seat itself. If the dog is light enough and not too jumpy you could probably get away with just using the headrest strap I suppose but it is intended to have the seat strap used.I have a 30 pound king charles spaniel I (lazily) just threw the headrest strap for one day..it collapsed and poor thing got so scared so I know he is too large to get away with that lolSo my suggestion is if you are able to open the back seat to use that seat strap it would def work.Hope I was some help..

I would say those users are not attaching the safety tether to their dog's collar! My 12 lb. Poochon gets out also unless I attach it, but then is happy in the car seat & can see outside. You can also adjust the tether's length. I love this car seat, have also used it for my 20 lb. cat, who loves it!

It has a click strap to attach to YOUR dogs harness or collar. Our dog loves her seat and we don't need to use it. She prefers the seat, actually. She sits up higher and can see out and it is comfortable enough she can curl up and lay down when she is tired of looking out. I place her seat behind passenger seat so I can see if she needs attending! We have one in every vehicle!

It will work fine if your car seat is front-facing. If the seat is rear-facing, then you need to add something to the top of the protector to hold it in place. We sewed a flat strap with a plastic loop to each side of the top of the seat protector (already had one lying around the house). Put that around the headrest to keep it in place. I love the protector on my fabric seats. We just bought a leather upholstered car, and I am concerned about the reports of the plastic backing melting into the leather seats -- may have to find a different option for that vehicle.

Yes, i've found that this stays in place very well, in my SUV, just attached at the top which is the straps that wrap around the headrests. However, on the bottom, I found something below the driver's seat to attach it but on the passenger side, there just wasn't anything. I've done a couple of things there. One is using a bungie cord to hook onto the metal seat crossbar, underneath. Another is that I've attached an extension onto the lower strap and found a place to connect, wrapping around a part of the seat that I couldn't reach with the strap length on the bottom of the barrier. I hope that helps. Yes, i've found that this stays in place very well, in my SUV, just attached at the top which is the straps that wrap around the headrests.

My dog love his harness...it work well in the car or out for a walk...there is adjustments on the harness if you need an area looser....The only thing that I dont like is that there is a thick fleese material on the back side of the flap that fits the front part of my dogs chest...If its warm it proabley makes his warmer...but he doesnt seem to mind...he would rather wear the harness then his collor...The harness is made very well, easy to put on, easy to adjust...best one I have ever found....

My car has like small short barely there headrest on the backseat, so I have it attached with the hook part it comes with attached to the car seat hook in my car and then I also use the bendable part to adjust it against the seat. Not sure if this helps you, but if you have the carseat hook in your car it should work.

I'm not sure where its attached to, but its not just the cloth. It's a firm tether.Correction: I took the seat apart to really look at it and the two tethers are attached to the cloth underneath the padded cushion -- but they're attached very firmly, so for smaller dogs it shouldn't be a problem. My dog is paralyzed in the rear end and the seat keeps her safe in the car, and she can stare at me easily while I'm driving! Great car seat/great buy.

I do not know for sure. It could be a little loose. There are 3 ways to keep the cover in place. First, a strap with a clip on the top that goes around the head rest ( you should be able to use this), then a strap that goes around the entire seat back (if your back seat folds down in sections you will probably be able to use the back strap, or as you suggest it might fit in a seam, but that does not sound too secure), and finally there is a strap that would go around the bottom and under the seat. I do not know what you could attach that strap to. So if you only have 1 out of 3 ways to secure the cover working it could be loose. But if the dog is not moving around it might be okay. Good luck!

The strap the goes around the console to hold it in place does not appear to be long enough to around a standard seat, you could possibly seat belt across the front to hold it in.....if you don't mind the seat belt strap being in front of the dog.

No, your dog's back will be strapped almost completely to the back of the car seat. My dog tried to lay down/move around and there was still some give in the car seat belt; she got herself miserably tangled up.

it won't attach to a car seat as it needs a tray to sit on. it has 2 straps on it which are Velcro. but the straps are very small, so extensions are needed.
