How well does this secure a dog during side-to-side movement of the car? My chichuahua (15 lbs) always stands up and has her paws on the window

Our dog is quite large (70lb) and the restraint keeps her from being thrown forward in a sudden stop. It also contributes to controlling her when we are exiting the vehicle, giving us time to safely put her on a leash and then releasing the tether.

My dog weighs 12 lbs. He has plenty of space in it. With him in it I can lift it into my car with no trouble. I am an elderly woman.

My Pug can see out the window, but I'm sure it depends on your car type and if your dog likes to look out the window, or just sleep as mine does. I can't say enough good things about this seat and two of my friends have purchased seats for their dogs after seeing mine. Your dog will be safe and secure as long as you use the built in leash that you can adjust for movement.

I have mine in cargo area but I had to put it against the backseat. Measure the back from top to bottom and side to side. Petsmart has metal simple ones which I may get. I have a europian doberman hes big but I need something less bulky

It appears to be pretty strong. My dog has pawed at it and it is fine. Do not walk on it; you can take a header; very slippery.

It would in my Acura MDX SUV. I have a 15lb dog that can't get out. This barrier adjusts up and down and the sides spread out. Really depends on the back of your vehicle.

In order for it not to keep falling off I imagine you have to the screen there. It basically just snaps on to either side of the screen and works best close to the frame for support so that when the dog goes in and out the frame doesn't pull as well.

I bought one for my 60 lb. dog and she has no problem getting up and down. It has carpet on it so that they can keep their grip. I love mine!

The strap is short enough that this seems like an unlikely scenario. Additionally, the support within the booster seat itself (higher walls), plus the added padding we usually put (blankets around her) seem to help. Whenever my dog is in the car, I drive more carefully as well.

In my opinion it is safe. I like to line it with blankets for more comfort on longer rides. It has a short leash that can attach to their harness. This allows you to keep the top "window" open without the dog getting out. I had to adjust the length of it for my dog. I hope this was helpful.

My dog has jumped up on ours and she is 60lbs, and it didn't budge. We also screwed it into the window sill.

The seat hangs from the headrest so is more to the center of the seat. I imagine if a dog wanted to it could lean itself out of the seat in such a way that its paws were on the window sill but the window would have to be all the way down

The clip on the device is pretty strong so I can't imagine the dog breaking free. Also, the tether keeps the dog away from the bike, so they wouldn't get hurt by the bike either. If you fall on the dog, well, that could happen running with them and the only advice I could give would be don't fall. :) Honestly, my shepherd bolted after a cat last night, she is about 60 lbs of brute strength, and the bike didn't shimmy. It's a very well thought out device. This is great as long as you aren't tree bashing on a single track trail. I love it and the dogs immediately used it without any trouble. We are using it every night on the paths here.

Not Sure I use it in my Mini Van and Camry, however I don't recommend this for a dog over 15 pound, my 30 pound Cocker bent the metal that fits in the latch and this allowed him to get loose. Look for a heavy duty metal latch similar to your own car. Great Idea just not strong enough not to bend.

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.

I do not find that it is very stable on the bumper of my car. I have to hold it for my dog to be able to use - otherwise it slips around on him and scares him. I have tried a few things to make it hold, but haven't found anything that works better than my just holding it while he is climbing into car. There are "feet" on the bottom of it, but I do not think they work well and combined with water for your use, I do not expect they would either. Hope this helps.

Yes. She has a good range of motion. She can put her head out the window, too, if I set it up with a little extra slack. She can't make it on to the floor, though.
