is this built up. my dog will sit in the seat, but he isn't tall enough to see out. and he won't ride in a dog seat that goes around the head rest.

this seat is fastened by the seat belts, does not go around the head rest. It sits on the seat itself and does have an option of an insert to put the dog up higher. I use it for my scottish terrier and she loves it

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 not think so. First you would have to reinforce bottom as it collapses. There are two straps to go around head rest, seatbelt goes through loops on the back. If it wasn't so much trouble I would send mine back. My 8 pound dog collapsed the bottom, and he hates those straps that go across where he is sitting.

It might be tight if he stands up the whole time. My Dog lays down most of the time, but stands when she wants to gaze out the window. She is only about 18 inches at the shoulder and there is room to spare It's a very nice device to keep the dog safe, as well as keeping their fur contained while providing them a comfortable ride. Good Luck!

it has 4 bands on the unit, that gets attached to the top of your seat head restaner. The only problem is that, your dogs can jump up in the middle and end up in your front seat. I have golden ret. 65lbs and i have to tell her to get back in the seat. It's great, when she is not moving around...

I bought a Medium Snoozer Pet Car Seat for my 12 pound Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie). Plenty of room for him to lay down. He loves being able to see out the window!

Is there anything on the back seats that this can be hooked up to? The hammock has straps that are adjustable that fit around the headrest. Without headrests I can't think of an alternative way to use the hammock. Also, be aware that the seat belt thing that comes with this that allows you to secure your dog with the seatbelt clasp is not ideal for a larger dog but is great to secure your dog temporarily while loading groceries, etc. Otherwise, this hammock has been awesome. My dog is super comfortable in it, it's really flexible so it can be used just as a cover and the zipper down the middle allows for half up half down which is great when driving my dog and a person in the back seat.

No I would not recommend if you intend to use the seat with the legs as a stand. I actually had this seat at home and tried it before returning. It is not a good seat for any dog above 5 pounds. Even at that weight I would worry about my dog. I know that you are concerned and want the best to give your dog the opportunity to see outside. I have since went to a very restrictive harness to protect my Yorkie and Border Terrier. They do not seem to mind and the can lay in comfort on the seat. Hopes this helps.

The Seat? Sorry Paul, I don't understand. Do you mean is the "floor" cushioned? If so, the answer is no. I put a small bed in there for my dog and she loves it. Especially fun for her with the "top down" like riding in a convertible.

Don't blame it on the dog. My dog is 20 pd, a Cocker spaniel and easily jumps through to front sets. There is a gap on both sides by headrest. Toyota Camry.

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!

We own two of them and neither one is mounted. One is on the ground (for a blue heeler) and one is set up on concrete blocks for our yellow lab. If your dog is tall, it will be too low for them, but does sit on something nicely and ours has never turned over.

It might help to make sure the seat is positioned more upright. When I repositioned the seat for the dog, it should be level so the dog is looking out and not up at the ceiling of the car. Also, pull the strap on the back of the seat down and then secure it tightly. Hopefully this will help.

I have a Boston Terrier and no she can't put her head out the window. If she could I would move it as it is too dangerous to have dogs heads out of the window - bugs in eyes, can hurt their ears, etc. I love my seat. Jovi has used a Kurgo seat since she was a puppy and hops in whenever she is in the car even if she is not buckled in.

There are two straps, one for headrest and one that wraps around the seat, both are adjustable. My doggie weighs 4lbs and loves this seat. I made another pillow to boost her up even further. I agree with others, just stay within the weight requirement and it should work out for you. My husband sometimes only uses the upper strap. I always use both. Hope this helps.

Hi Karen, I thought the same thing....I hooked it to the frame underneath the seat. I went as far under the seat as I could to keep the bottom portion taught so my little stinker dog couldn't sneak under and get in front. Works great, and my dog is very motivated to get in front!
