Is this barrier able to be used behind the rear seats of an SUV? I have a 2014 Chevy Equinox and want to keep my 85-lb lab in the cargo area.

We installed it behind the rear seats in 2014 GMC Terrain. Worked great. Did need to use extra zip ties to secure it. The barrier itself is very sturdy. It's how you secure it that makes it dog proof.

as long as the rear seats have a head adjustable head rests. I found that the straps stay in place better if they are wrapped around the bar of the head rest rather than the actual seats.

Our two male dogs are basically enjoying to stay behind the rear seats in Sienna. The barrier is useful and easy to take care with several bungee codes. By the way, our dogs are 70 and 80 lb labs. They like to go to driving with us, and the barrier makes dog safe during driving.

It should as long as you have a center console. I use it in a 2002 extended cab tundra, 2003 4runner and a 2012 crew 4runner. Easy to move from vehicle to vehicle.

You have to evaluate a few things: you have to have head rests for the bungee cords to wrap around (1 on each end of the seat back)., next you have to measure the height of area the barrier will sit on to the ceiling then compare it to the height of the barrier to see if the barrier is too tall. If it is too tall, the tubing design is easy enough to cut with a tube or small pipe cutter or hack saw. You can put tape on the cut ends to protect carpet, etc. You might even be able to find a plastic cap at a hardware store like Lowes or Home Depot.

I have a 2013 Chev. Equinox and so far have only used mine behind the front seats and it works great for our Bouvier des Flandre and sometimes, our daughter's Labradoodle; but we are getting a new puppy (Bouvier) and I am contemplating getting another one for the rear seats so the puppy cannot get into the cargo area if I should go shopping.

I have a 2013 equinox, and a 80 lb German Shepard. I have only tried it attached to the back of the front seats, not in the rear cargo area. I found that the bungee cords were not the same as the ones in the directions and I was not able to adjust them, I had to jerry -rig them to the seats. I was also unable to attach this to the bottom of the seats easily. It still moves around attached to the seats, but does keep the dog more seperated from me and . The gate height may not fit in the back cargo area, I will see if I can get this in the way back.

I recently purchased the regular sized barrier and very easily installed it behind the rear seats of my 2013 Lexus RX350 SUV. I have two retracting loops on either side of the cargo area behind the seat. Instead of placing the third bungee cord around a middle console, I was able to run it through the bars of the barrier and fasten the hooks to the metal loops in my car. It is very secure and doesn't rattle at all. I am very please with the purchase.

This cargo cover fits well in smaller SUV's such as Jeeps and Fords. The sides stay up by velcro strips that you attach to the cloth areas of your car. The front has loops that you put around your headrests. I have a Border Collie, and when he jumps into the back of the car, the sturdy material does not scrunch up because velcro holds it into place underneath the cargo cover. The velcro strips provided are very adhesive and not easily detached. I love my cargo cover because it prevents hair from sticking to the carpet, it's tough and resilient, and it is very easily cleaned.

As an addition to the other responses - I have been trying to find if this carrier is too close to the exhaust and found a video collection from the manufacturer. The video for us Wrangler owners is shown on a 2009 2-door. It doesn't block the exhaust - http://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Cargo-Carrier/Pro-Series/63153.html

Not sure as I have a Dodge Durango. I measured several times just to make sure it would work. Love this barrier!

The pet barrier goes behind the front bucket seats. The widest part is the top. The two top straps thread around the headrest brackets. One end threads between the two brackets and sticks through the buckle on the barrier ,holding it tight. The two bottom straps thread through the bracket holding the seat to the floor. They also thread around the bracket and come back to go through the buckle on the barrier, pulling till tight. Barrier should be tight to the back of the seats so a small dog wouldn't be able to sneak through to the front seats!!! To fold, just twist the top and bottom in the opposite direction and fold. The wire around the edge will act like a spring so you need to hold it tight to slide it back into the storage bag!!! Hope this helped.

My son has this in the back of his SUV, however it is on carpet and does NOT slide around. I don't know how it would do on a plastic cargo liner. It's an awesome product but I'm not sure how it would work for you.

Not sure, but it is adjustable. I used it as a barrier behind the front seat.This may work better if used behind back seats. Good luck as these cross covers are difficult to size anything into them properly!

Karen. We had the same problem. The manufacturer didn't think that far. We bought some short stretch straps that have S hooks on both ends, hooked one end to a bar under the seat and the other to the barrier. That has worked fine for us.

Yes, it fits pretty much any SUV with headrests so that it can attach and the height and width adjust. I've been very happy with the item. My dogs range from 20lbs to 110lbs and it has been fine but, admittedly, I don't have any crazies who go beserk trying to break through, they just move from the cargo area to the backseat if there's no barrier. Depends on how determined your dog is I'm sure!

Hello there. We have a 2008 Toyota Sequioa and when placed properly on the top of the vehicle, it does not interfere with the back door. The mount points slide underneath the storage box to move the box forward or backward on the roof rack. Hope this helps!

I have a 2012 equinox, and I like it. Overall just a problem figuring where to anchor it in the middle, because of the car design. I think you may still have to unhook the barrier if you have to tilt the seats more than about six inches to get into the back. I also had an issue with the bungee cords they provided, not being able to adjust them as in the instructions, and the plastic clip broke. I just bought some shorter ones at the hardware store.

I have a Chevy Equinox and this covers the width to the edge of the seats. My car is fairly wide, so I was pleased that it does go all the way across. I have a 9 month old mix puppy and a 4 year old lab mix. Seat cover works well for us.

The seats do not have to be in exactly the same position. However, this wouldn't be a great solution for two people of significantly different heights. You wouldn't bend the barrier, but it would be far less stable.I use one behind the front seats and another behind the middle seats of my SUV to restrict my Golden Retriever to the mid-section of the car when I travel. I find them invaluable for our situation and I've tried almost every model that I'd found before these! Good luck. Cyberdune

This barrier was very flimsy and both dogs that I tried it with just went over it. My truck has a console between my seats so this prevents the barrier from really fitting properly. I wouldn't recommend this for bigger dogs. I THINK that what you are asking would not work with this product.

It is designed to cover the cargo area behind the backseats. I use it with the back passenger seat down for my dogs, but it is about 2 feet short. I have a rubber tray-like mat down in the cargo area, so it works. The sides come with it and velcro to secure them. It is really easy to take in and out of the car.

The barrier itself is 18" wide x 23" long, however the straps are adjustable to fit any car. I have one in my Hyundai Elantra and also in GMC Sierra truck. Keeps my cattle dog in back seat and because of the mesh gets good air circulation and she can see through to see us so she has never attempted to jump over. Highly recommend

James - it all depends on how your front seats are configured. We have a 2011 Chevy Express van and this barrier didn't work for us because there is too much slant to the back of the seat.
