We bought this for our 75 lb, very active dog to help give the leather seats on our Toyota Highlander a fighting chance. Previously we had comforters and towels to protect the seat and the dog slid and skidded all the time. As promised, the bottom is non skid and the dog is able to ride without sliding all over the place. So far, the straps holding the hammock to the front seat headrests have held up when he places all his weight on those straps. Mostly the hammock style also helps keep him in back where he belongs...though we make sure he isn't left alone in the car for long periods of time, because he could climb right over into the front if he chose...it acts more as a deterrent than an absolute barrier. The fabric controls hair, moisture and dirt, and is easy to shake out. It's also not difficult to take down part or all of it when humans need to use the back seat...just drop the hammock off the headrests. There are slots for the seat belts to come through so there is no absolute need to remove the device for non-canine passengers. The broad elastic straps that attach the hammock to the bottom of the bench seat could be better made to fit. The hammock comes with no real directions but....you'd have to be a little challenged not to be able to figure out how to set it up. Also, some people have mentioned that this doesn't work well with travel harness systems....our dog already has a harness. We put it on him for car rides. We have a leash wrapped around one of the rear headrests, and we clip this leash to his harness, with enough room to stand and lie down comfortably. This secures him somewhat against accidents (at least he won't fly through the windshield) and lets us use this hammock while still restraining him. It's well made. There were cheaper ones out there but we chose this so that we wouldn't have to put up with flimsy stuff that would be wrecked after a few car rides. So far we are very happy with it and it seems to be holding up well.We have a Dalmatian-Pit Bull mix who rides in the back of the car. He has either torn up or consistently dislodged every seat cover we have tried prior to this one. He is not destructive, just his existence and moving around has caused them to all be ineffective. Until now. The Petego Hammock works almost flawlessly.First, it is a very sturdy cover. I have no concerns about his claws eventually ripping through it since it is a very heavy material.Second, it attaches very securely to the posts of the front and rear seat headrests, creating a nice hammock (duh) that does not move. I have had to pull the straps tight after about a month of use, but even then it had slipped maybe two inches but was still firmly attached.Third, it is easy to remove and clean when needed.Fourth, it is not so unsightly that you feel like the Clampetts when you drive around with it in the car. Ours pretty much stays installed constantly.Fifth, its shape creates a barrier that keeps our oaf from passing between the front seats and standing on (and shredding) the console. I guess he could still do that if he really wanted to, but at a minimum the fact that there is a barrier there has kept him from doing so.My only complaint is the corner straps that are supposed to hook around the front corners of the rear seat do not secure well on our seats. They come loose, allowing the side panel that slips between the seat and the frame of the car to also come loose. This is a minor problem because even when those are not secured, only the very edges of the seat are exposed. Sooner or later I will figure out how to resolve this issue.For anybody looking for a good car seat protector or has given up on seat protectors, I highly recommend this product. It is certainly not the least expensive one available, but it is far better than anything else we have tried.I bought this Petego Hammock Car Seat Pet Protector way back in 2013 as I have a large GSD and I had a '96 Toyota Corolla with which I was driving us across the country. This product was perfect for giving my big dog a safe ride from MA to CA. I placed his large dog bed on top of it, which created a comfortable place to sleep most of the ride away. Even though my old car didn't have the rear seat head rests to strap the product in place, I was able to pull the half seats open and tuck in the seat-back part of the protector, closing the seat-back onto the protector to hold it firmly in place. I have brought my dog to the pet stores, hiking, or the dog park 2 to 5 times per week since moving to SoCal 3.5 years ago. Up until the wear & tear and hot, dry heat caused the belts to tear off, the hammock function of this product did a sterling job of keeping my dog from injury due to sudden stops (preventing him from being thrown to the floor or pitched into the front of the car), as well as kept the backs of the front seats free of dog fur (my dog sheds A LOT). It's not difficult to install or to remove for cleaning, if only to shake the sand off it. I have continued using this product as a seat protector; both the canvas material and the nonskid backing have proven highly durable, and it keeps the rear seats dry when my dog hops in still wet after swimming. I miss the hammock part of it; the only improvement I think the product needs is wider Neoprene belts for securing the hammock to the headrests of the front seats IMO, I really got my money's worth out of this Petego product. If the product hasn't been changed, I have no qualms about recommending it to dog owners. I will, in all likelihood, invest in another one soon.Eine sehr schöne hochwertige Decke.
