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.

I think it will work fine as long as you "fasten" it somehow. When I use mine in the car, the one end is "stuck" to the seat and the ramp does not move. So something should keep the ramp in place when the dog walks on it. Hope your dog will do fine. I love that ramp for my dog.

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.

It depends on what you mean with "use" - the installation or how the dog handles it? The installation was very easy. And what I like about it is that it stays in place once installed properly which makes it look good. My dog has a bit of trouble with the canvas as it may be a bit too slippery for her paws. She likes to walk from one window to the other when driving. But I put a towel over it which makes her grip better. But I don't worry about making sudden stops or any sudden car movement because of the hammock. It is safe for the dog and a relief for me. I am happy with this product.

I feel that it is pretty secure. My cat is about 15 lbs. and it doesn't fall over.

Honestly it's pretty sturdy in the back of a YukonXL with a Great Dane and Lab. The lab used to get around the bar design we had before. This one keeps her in the back!!

Maybe not a good idea, depends also on the size and space of your car and obviously the size of the dog...LOL. Wouldn`t recommend using this for that, the material is very stretchy.

I drive a Impreza Subaru wagon and bought the barrier to help keep my dog out of the back of my car. The barrier does not it in my back because the wheel wells are in the way. However, I figured out how to attach the barrier to back seat by using bungee chords around headrests and it works great! It's sturdy doesn't move it make noise, I can see through it just fine, and keeps dog out of the trunk of my car. You might be able to adjust barrier by lowering it and using bungees to secure barrier. But you can not adjust barrier as it had a metal frame

The unit has a strap that can attach to the latch mechanism on the back of the vehicle. With our smaller dog there isn't much need to secure it though. The top of the ramp has a little bit of a lip to it.

Yes, since it fastens to both the rear head rests and the front seat head rests it can't slip off anywhere. Since I have a 160# Dane the side flaps do get pulled around but shouldn't be any problem with a reasonable sized animal.

You can roll the window up or down just not all the way or the tabs would slip out. That said, one side stays just fine on my car but tge other side always pops out when the dogs stand on it. I've considered trying to sew longer tabs on that one but haven't messed with t yet.

Hmmm, probably not so much. It does have a bit of a quilt to it but if I accelerate kind of fast or hard break the dogs do have to keep their balance. I don't have problem with the cover bunching up or getting out of place though. For the price the cover really was a good deal, I'm still happy with it.

This will keep him in the back seat. Mine likes to lean out the windows, and it keeps her from going too far.

We use this seat for our poodle/shih tzu 7lb mix and she loves it..yes, looking out the window is perfect for her. About sticking head out window? of the car? I would never suggest that. Even though there is a safety clip inside the seat, I Dont think its ever a good idea to let any dog stick their head out of the window of the car...just not safe for pet. The idea of the seat is safety and it does this well. Our pup, like I said loves the seat. She jumps right into it whenever we take her anywhere. She can also put her front legs on the front edge of the seat - we think she really enjoys her ride!

I have 2 dogs each 47 pounds. I made a second lead that is fixed on one side. It works just fine although I unhook them if I leave the car. They can get tangled up!

I can't answer your question as I only have one dog and he only weighs 25 lbs. But I will tell you, I LOVE THIS ITEM - it allows my dog to run from one window to the other and actually get his front paws ONLY on the front seat console, plus he can lie down. Looking forward to having him with me when I take a 2100 mile road trip this summer. I also like the fact that I don't have to worry that he will dash out of the car before I get a leash on him. Maybe you could actually buy 2 of these zip-lines - one for each dog.
