Hard Bottom Dog Car Seat Protector

I’ve never bought a car sling or dog car protector before because they all seemed really cheap and poor quality. I reluctantly bought this after purchasing a vintage Land Cruiser Prado and wanting to protect the interior and door panels on a road trip. Zero regrets. It is SOLID.It fit perfectly, is incredibly sturdy, easy to sweep off and wipe down, created a safe and spacious back area for our two pups and their quite large dog bed. The mesh panel is solid. The zippers are solid. It protected the doors and still let our pup stick her head out the window. Spill and water proof. It doesn’t hold onto fine dog hairs like some fabric. The pockets in the back made accessing their travel water bowl, dog bags & leashes super easy. It’s also nice looking which, I’ll be honest, is a big selling point for me. I 100% would recommend and would purchase again in a heartbeat.

First, it's extremely stable and spacious for our medium sized border collie. Even big enough to fit her bed in fine. My parents have a basic hammock and the hard base on this makes it a completely different beast. Although you pay for it, it's worth it. I have a pickup so it also doubles as a safe spot to load groceries. It fits very well in my 2020 Chev Colorado.One thing i took a gamble on is whether it can be used to occupy two of the rear seats instead of the whold back seat. While it's not designed to do this, we got it to work by reusing the side arm ring belt to go between the front set head wrests. And the far right rear head rest belt around the centre seat headrest. Not perfect, but it worked will and it was comfortable for a passenger in the back + dog.Worth the extra over the soft base options. With this there is no chance of the dog slipping down the front of the seat, plus you can stash stuff in the footwell under it safely.

This invention is genius. Our 64lb super mutt love riding in the back seat with the gap between the front and rear seat firmly covered. This thing is sturdy, will support 100 pounds easily. Covers the gap between the front bucket seats to keep her in the back seat. Space under the overhang has easy access storage that’s dog proof. It easily swaps from our Forester and MDX in 5 minutes. Completely protects the leather seats. Great value. Easy to clean and folds up for storage in a couple minutes to get humanoids in the back row of seats . It also fits in the third row seats of the MDX but the middle row passengers will get plenty of kisses on the back of their ears!

Back Seat Extender really adds a lot of room for my 65lb English Bulldog. It has supported her weight thus far with no issues. We've only had it 3 weeks, so we will see how long it stays sturdy.All the seams appear well manufactured. There isn't much cushion, but a blanket or bed will solve this issue with ease.My dog LOVES the extra room. She was a bit short on room before. The seat just isn't wide enough for her to even easily turn around without a leg slipping off.I love the mesh in the center that allows air flow. English Bulldog's don't tolerate heat or cold as well as a lot of other breeds.The extender fits my 2010 Ford Fusion wonderfully. We did measure before purchasing. Instead of measuring the actual seat, we extended the measuring tape to the dimensions of the product to see where it would be inside the vehicle. Perfect.I like that you have the option to fold up one side and still use the product in case you need a spot for someone to ride in the back seat and still need to use the extender. It's not ideal because of the way it folds; parts of the product aren't fully out of the way and the folded part is quite a bit thicker than the single layer part, but definitely doable in a pinch. And, if you need to remove the extender completely, it comes with its own storage bag. Just toss it in the trunk and it's handy to reinstall when needed.I really struggled with giving the product 5 stars or just 4 stars, and here's why:I'm not sure why the clips for the front seat headrest are metal and the back seat headrest are not. To save money, maybe? Clips getting too hot in the sun, possibly? Without knowing the manufacturer's reasoning, one can only guess. I just don't think it would've cost much more to have all the clips metal and I believe the metal clips would be safer and more durable.Since the supported base is flat, it lays according to the slope of the seat. I put a rolled extra large beach towel under the extender to make it more level. Works fine. Something like a really long microbead pillow would probably work better, but I don't have any that large and I didn't want to spend the money to purchase any just to try a theory when the towel works as well as it does. It would be nice if there was a built-in function to help hold the extender level that was flexible enough to fit a variety of vehicles... like the microbeads would do.The biggest issue I'm having with the product is my dog jumps into the floorboard and then up into the seat. Picking her up and putting her in the vehicle is an option, but she is a rescue and has high anxiety issues with being picked up. Trying to put a 65lb flopping bulldog into a car's back seat while bending over and forward isn't the easiest task. So, we go through the process of unbuckling, unzipping, folding, unfolding, zipping, and buckling one side of the extender every time we put her in the vehicle. What would be nice is if the "flaps" that are on each end that protect the doors had the same support in them the base does. Then, we could just fold the flap down to meet her stairs and it would bridge the gap between the stairs and the back seat. So, I am going to add that support myself. Would be an amazing upgrade if this product had such an option for our situation.I went with 5 stars because the product really does what it's intended to do, is exactly as advertised, and it really is a nice product.Overall, and after short-term use of the product, I do recommend it.UPDATE: I've had this product over a year now, and it is holding up wonderfully! Not a single stitch broken! The sole issue is the plastic clip on the side we load and unload the dog on broke within 5 months. I replaced it with a metal clip. The plastic clip on the other side is still intact and functioning - but it has only been unclipped and reclipped a handful of times. I am still VERY pleased with this purchase and still recommend it.

This is the fourth car seat cover brand I tried. Overall it’s decent.Pros:Held up, no ripsEasy in and out for installWaterproofFabric is thickWipes up easilyCons:There are no hooks underneath to hold it in place like in other brands, so it does slide a little.Doesn’t cover back seat 100% in SUV, not a huge dealNo velcro on sides, just zippers. Not a deal breaker but Velcro can be nice on the side you let you dog in and out on to save time.
