My car is a two door G6 Pontiac. The front seats tip forward to get in the back seat. Will the front seat pull too tight for the dog to get in?

Yes. However you can unhook the strap for the front seat, open the door,move the seat forward, let the dog in,and then attach the strap to the front seat around the head rest. I love this cover and reccomend it.

Just guessing here, but I would think you would have to first release the strap from the front headrest in order to let the dog in. Once the dog is in you could replace the strap over the headrest. I think this should work!

The straps that would attach to the front seat headrest are adjustable, but as others have mentioned, I think the best way to address the issue is to not attach that strap until after the dog is in the vehicle. It's a nice seat cover for pets, so don't hesitate to purchase.

It's kind of too big for my Chevy Cruze front bucket seat. Sits on the edges so a quick shift or tight turn may make the seat itself shift from being level if that makes any sense to who reads this. I'm going to try the small and maybe keep the larger one for long trips so he can lay down which was my whole purpose in getting the large.

Not really. The dog can move around inside the vehicle. The harness attaches to the shoulder restraint of the seatbelt, which allows a decent bit of movement. My pup can easily get to a window. We have, however, been in a fairly serious car accident with her in the harness and with the sudden movement the shoulder restraint engages, keeping your pup in place. Thankfully she was perfectly safe, and I attribute that completely to the Kurgo harness, because she would have gone flying otherwise.

It depends. If you attach to the rear seatbelt and the dog is not really big it will keep him in the back. The harness will, but it depends on what lenth the leash, or other apparatus is you attach to. We use the attachment which is short to go from the harness to the seatbelt on short trips. In order to have more move around space we attach the 5 foot leash to the harness then to a different spot in the car that gives more room. When we do this the dog gets only to the center console. The harness is excellent. It's how you use it and what you use with it that decides. Harness is a superb well made product.

Absolutely. My 98 lb. German Shepherd gets into our SUV as well as into the back of my husbands extended cab GMC Truck with this ramp. It takes a little coaching and guidance at first - she was very hesitant to use it the first few times, but now she sees us put it up, and waits at the bottom - we always hold on to her collar because of the angle, just make sure she doesn't walk over the side. Hope this helps.

Easily when connection is put on upper cross-body portion of seat belt. Less mobility genearlly if put on the across waist portion. My dog stands, butt against the seat back, nose forward as far as he can reach. If not for the restraint, the 75-lb backseat driver would be standing on the console between my two front seats, hunkered down to look out the front windshield. (He thinks he's driving.)

Yes. Unlike some of the other dog car seats, this one is secured by using the seat belt only. It sits on the seat and the seat belt runs through the back like a child's car seat.

Hi, the ramp is great, but I think the problem you will have is with your car door. It probably won't open wide enough for you to securely fit the ramp. The ramp needs to sit flush, and straight out from the car, for it to be safe. I Hope you find a way, our doggies are dear to us.

I just took mine outside to test it on a Chevy Equinox crossover. The door opened wide enough, but just barely. The ramp is not as tall as the seats and there was a gap where my pet would have to jump across, too wide to be able to just step over. My largest pet is a pug, so you may not have that problem. Also something to consider is the way you'll modify the slick carpeting on the ramp. Mine has indoor/outdoor carpeting and I can no longer fold it.

Since it does not extend all the way to the floor, no. Otherwise, this is a great barrier for your pets. With the rear seats down, the dog could crawl under it.

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.

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.

We have it mounted towards the rear door but it appears that it will fit in the middle of the cargo area towards the seats. There are tie points in the car near the back but not all the way back. I believe there would be a slight gap before you get to the seats. Ford C-Max

It depends on the make of your vehicle. We have a Buick Enclave and it works great but we keep the dogs behind the second row.

Yes. I have shoulder strap belts in my back seat where my two dog car seats go. You just feed the belt through the slots at the base of the car seat and snap it into the buckle, making sure the belt is snug.

My dog is about 37 pounds and because the two back wheels are placed wider than the frame of the cabin, it doesn't tip over if he moves around. But he is larger and can't put all his weight on one front corner. If you have three toys dogs and they all stood together on one side of the front, tipping *might* be an issue. The cabin is slanted to discourage dogs from standing in the front corners, but again, it seems physically possible. Maybe go with a 4 wheel model to be safe.

No .... it is specifically for the back seat. There is NO safe system for putting the dog in the front seat. They are like a speeding bullet going through the front window. Reward your dog for sitting in the back seat. I don't know the correct size for your dog -- go on the company website where there are detailed directions.
