Car Seat Dog Barrier

by T.O. on 09/19/2015

This is a great product. I've been looking for something like this for 4 years. I don't have an SUV and it's always been a challenge to drive around with the dog because she loves climbing into the front of the car. This is quite dangerous and has caused some issues in the past. Now that I've installed the Auto Pet Barrier in our 2005 Acura TSX the dog can't get into the front seats. She still lays her head on the pet barrier but gets annoyed pretty quickly and resigns herself to laying on the back seat (a much safer proposition). I wouldn't think this product would work too well for dogs over a certain weight and height, but it works for our 40 pound dog very well.

If your dog is hell bent on getting from the back to the front - this isn't the barrier for you. But if you just need something that will protect them from sliding or hurtling from back to front when you stop, this will do the trick. And if all your dog needs is a 'reminder' to stay in the back, or is really too big to get over the top, this will do the trick. Easy to install, took me less than a minute, even with two toddlers hopping around my car. And also easy to remove and stow away. I love the pockets - we have this between our 2nd and 3rd rows and my kids love putting their stuff in those pockets. Great item at a great price.

I loved this when I first got it 3 months ago and thought it was the perfect product for the price for my then 9 week old Lab. Lo and Behold, 3 months later and 30lbs heavier she's able to nimbly scramble over it with ease. The problem is that the see-through mesh barrier on top has no support and just folds over with a little force (such as your dog leaning on top of it). The rest of the contraption is pretty good otherwise as the 4 straps hold it stretched taut so that small dogs will not be able to nose through the bottom or sides of the barrier (nor reach the top part). Installation was a semi-breeze. The top straps go around the head rest but it was a mite confusing as to how to tie the bottom ones as it didn't come with any instructions. I finally figured it out that it went around the OEM velcro seat covering holes on the bottom of the seats. YMMV however as not all cars may have that (My parents' didn't). Ultimately, if you have a small dog, I...

Had to bend the bar around the cloth. Still not a good fit, but, is ok as long as my dog doesn't figure out how to get under it
