Does installation of the pet barrier mean that a child seat could not be appropriately tethered, or could you install both child seats and barrier?

Yes child seats can be installed and tethered correctly.. Love this pet barrier. It is quiet and fits like it was part of the original equipment. Very sturdy as well. The only family member that don't like it is our Chocolate lab.

Yes child seats can still be installed and teathered appropriately. Not a problem and I love this barrier, not noisey, fits like a glove and everything else works as if it wasn't there.

Not sure where the child seat tethers are as I currently have a infant seat installed with the clips between the bottom and back cushions but there is a gap between the barrier and the back/top of the seat if that helps. I have this installed in a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland and love it. It keeps my dogs from joining my daughter in the back seat :)

Cheryl, the barrier is attached to both side of the head rest. If you need to move your seat forward or backward, it must be moved together and be on the same plane to keep it from coming off. It is a very easy to install and remove and it takes up less space in my SUV. I have 2 big dogs that likes to bother us in the car and they were not able to knock this off at all. I have had other barrier that the screw kept vibrating loose and eventually my dog knocked it off. Hope this helps.

I don't think so, as long as you have the bungees tight enough. I went through 2 different parts of the barrier and went all the way around the headrest. It was pretty tight to the seat and I did use my own bungees.

The pets can go in and out. It is not a simple installation. The design is flawed and you can't just push both sides together on opposite sides of the screen as suggested in the instructions. I had to drill and install nut and bolts to make it hold.

When I was deciding on a car seat, I purchased (and returned) 4 other seats, and this particular problem (being able to reach the seat-belt release) is a deficiency of all the seats I tried that have booster or shoulder belt convertibility. While my son did release it once, I came "unglued" and seem to have sufficiently scared him from ever touching the buckle again. Additionally, I found that if I have the harness tightened appropriately (making sure he only has 2 fingers of space) he can't reach it. The biggest deciding factor for me was that my son was unable to fully free himself once strapped in properly (he was able to loosen the straps on the other brands and unbuckle and then he was out!) The Frontier 90's harness strap release button is to far in for his fingers to reach it.

The barrier goes only as high as the back of the front seats. The straps wrap around the rods holding the head-rests on the 2 front seats; so that's as high as the barrier goes. For my 2 dogs (Sheltie & Shitzuh) this is plenty high. I have a piece of plywood positioned over the backseat; the barrier keeps them safely back there. This product is made of sturdy, durable quality material. I've been very happy with it.

I'm not certain just what you mean. I have had NO problems with mine and my lil dog loves riding in it. She has a swollen hear so I can't actually walk here on a leash very far.

I think so. I have both of my little dogs in the one seat. One is 12 lbs. and the other is 7 lbs. We added an extra tether to the seat and they have plenty of room.

You can install this seat using the car seat belt (instead of latch), and in fact the manual says that you should use the car seat belt if your child is over 40 pounds even if you do have latch. HOWEVER, I installed this seat using the seat belt in my husband's car and it was not secure at all. I actually returned the seat and got one with click tight. I highly recommend getting a Britax 90 or another model with click tight. It is very easy to install these using the seatbelt and they are extremely secure (seat dosen't budge at all!).

Hi, I don't think so. We have this same issue, but deal with it since it's a great seat for potty training.

I think there at two tethers so you can put two dogs in there. When I only have one dog in I only use one. So I just use the harnesses that I already have.

The Back Seat Barrier hooks on to the front headrests and to whatever underneath each respective front seat. If you're talking about something like "Solvit 62314 Waterproof Hammock Seat Cover for Pets," the Back Seat Barrier would be redundant. But one wouldn't interfere with the other. It's just that the hammock would cover the same area as the Back Seat Barrier.

I think a top tether is necessary for safety, and unless a car is very old it has a hook to tether the seat to.

I didn't use the installation instructions because they didn't work for me. I took the top straps and threaded them under the head rests and then fastened them and the bottom straps are supposed to be threaded around the seats. Didn't work for me so I tried to thread them around the seat belts but they pulled the seat belts too tight so I am still trying to figure out how to fasten them. Tried and tried to fold it back up but I couldn't do it even with the instructions so I just leave the barrier up in my car. It isn't in the way and adds 2 extra storage places. It's worked out very well for me since my dog can't go over it and she is finally staying in the back seat!

I would say those users are not attaching the safety tether to their dog's collar! My 12 lb. Poochon gets out also unless I attach it, but then is happy in the car seat & can see outside. You can also adjust the tether's length. I love this car seat, have also used it for my 20 lb. cat, who loves it!

If u have a straight across front or back seat then probably not; the bottom strap that goes around the seat is adjustable and has length but the strap in the picture does not unless u have a narrow top to attach to ur seat. Or u can place the car seat on ur seat front or back and use ur seatbelt to keep the seat secure my main concern was to attach my puppy to the car seat with her harness so so was secure while I was driving. I love it though Sorry, I hope I was able to answer ur question Happy Holidays L

My carrier had two tethers sewn inside it. They can be shortened if needed. I think it would be safe to fasten to a harness as long as the carrier is secured with the seatbelt as shown in the instructions.
