How is the seat secured to the point where the seat meets the back (by the seat belt openings)? How well does this work on very slippery leather?

There should be a couple plastic robes that are attached by straps. You tuck those between the seat and back rest. That is how the one I have works.

Hi NancyThere is a looped piece of webbing with a plastic tube running through the webbing located in the area where the east back meets the seat. This assembly tucks in between in the seat belt area. This keeps the seat cover anchored in this area. The bottom surface of the cover has small silicone dots which keep the cover from sliding on leather. I have a 2015 Explorer with leather seats and it works great. Overall this seat cover is good. A little expensive but you get what you pay for.

It seems to work fine there as it has some weight to it and it is attached to headrests both in front and in back. The only potentially exposed area is right on the side edges where the dog may not fully jump onto the seat.

None I can think of. My little one started using it around the same height and weight. Remember... There is no between the legs strap. I advise you to use one of those grippy mat jar opener things to put on the seat to help prevent any sliding.

No, it is very slippery on leather. I use a length of non-adhesive waffle foam gripping shelf liner under it and it has kept the seat cover pretty well in place and has not damaged the leather.

The only place that holds it from slipping is the ledge at the bottom. When I am sitting, I have never had an issue of it slipping off. However, if you decide to carry it without it being in the flat position, it can slide off; especially, forward since it is angled with the widest part in the back.

Once you adjust it to fit your seat, it is very secure. I use this for my 61/2lb. toy poodle and it's an EXCELLENT seat. I would highly recommend this seat.

I have not had any problem with it slipping. My dog is about 65 pounds. The end is a little curved and rests on the lip of the SUV. I don't know if this helps.

I totally disagree. There is a 'webbed' material on the back that holds it in place on the seat....I'll tell you what compromises the effectiveness...seatbelts that don't immediate 'lock'...I had to swerve the other day and my grandaughters' car seat 'tipped' but the mat under it held in place and I feel it actually kept the car seat from tipping even further! I still stand by the use of my protector!

If you applied it to the length of the bench, maybe in two or three long strips, and the cushion were of some rough fabric, it would likely slow it down from slipping off. But don't think of it as gripping like velcro or anything. Much more subtle than that.

No slipping on my 2004 Ford Expedition. Graco went all over the place, but this doesn't budge at all, seat belt or LATCH.

The piece that goes around the handle fastens it to the carseat. Velcro tabs keep it done up, and the rest is cinched (near where there feet are), so it covers the seat, but isn't too tight, so it doesn't always stay in place. I kind of hook it on my daughter's feet, so she doesn't get burnt. It still works, and suited me for the price.

Should work work well on mon leather seats. Basically a towel with a mesh iunderside that straps around your head rest. Easy to take on off, ...... Pretty much works as advertised.

As far as using the belt installation for a vehicle and not te LATCH it is definitely doable. I have two do these seats and both are installed with the belt and not LATCH and both are very secure.

It has for me. I have them in two vehicles with leather seats and they work great. One is for my son's bolster chair and the other protects my infants car seat. I've been using them for about 3 years now.

I use it on my leather seats with success. One important note, you should get a mighty tite or else you will have a really hard time getting the car seat secure (the protector will slide around on the leather--it's almost impossible to secure by hand, but the mighty rite will crank it down well.)

I have black leather seats in my car but I have not noticed the backing sticking to the leather. My husband has sand colored seats in his truck so I will keep an eye out and post back if I notice any issues.

Yes. Short of sitting in it myself, I keep pressing down on the seat and pulling the strap, from both sides of the car. Additionally, we've taken the anchor strap used in the forward facing position and clipped it to the bar under the rear seat. This does help it feel more secure.

It does tend to slip & slide. Also the pad does do what it said. You can tuck it into the back of the seat.
