Kurgo Auto Zip Line - Backseat Zipline Harness for Car Travel - Dog Car Accessory for Safe Rides - Adjustable Pet Tether - Durable Nylon Zipline Leash Travel System

We have an active and very vocal 4 month old GSD/BorderCollie/Lab mix. She has demonstrated time and time again how crate training is NOT her thing and riding in the back of my SUV where it gets hot is not a good option. For my sanity and that of other passengers in the car, I thought I would try your product. The only negative comment I have for it is that when reviewing the videos and review comments, nowhere did I see anything that said the passenger seat belts need to be "locked" so that the buckle pieces are open and won't keep adjusting to the zip line as I try to adjust the tensions to lock it in place. I ended up with both seatbelts adjusting and shortening with zero tension, essentially not able to use that feature in my vehicle. (21 GMC Terrain). However, the above seat option between the handles of the car work wonderful. I was able to secure it to my desired tension. I love that the lease attachment can double as a short lease and I can move the carbineer to the desired length for the dog to move around without being in my face, or looking over my shoulder (if she had been free). She has room to move around if the seats are down or look out either window, even jump down to lay on the floor should she want to. Thank you for thinking of just about everything in this setup device for travel.

We used this as a restraint for a small (~10 lb) dog sitting in a padded bed/seat that straps to the console lid between the driver and the passenger. We just got back from a road trip with 20 hours of driving each way, and this tether was a resounding success. Our back seat was full, and our rescue would howl the whole time if we tried to isolate her back there anyway. This product, coupled with a basic console seat (reinforced with corrugated plastic) made our dog completely comfortable, and let us focus on driving and navigating while the dog largely snoozed away. I attached the zip line hooks to the front seat headrest posts. The included carabiners were way too heavy for this size dog, so I swapped in one of my own, coupled with a spinning leash clip that I had salvaged off a frayed leash. The combo allows her to turn (always the same direction of course) without twisting the restraint section hopelessly tight, as the leash clip spins freely. When she'd occasionally get excited, the restraint kept her confined to just the area we had in mind. I threaded the zipline through the second-to-shortest "pocket" in the restraint section for less weight dragging that part down than the heavy duty carabiner included for that purpose. I know it's not rated/marketed as a safety restraint, but given the build quality, I think it would keep our light dog safer than any of the prior methods of transit we had tried. The design is very flexible and well thought out. Great product; wish I'd found it a few years earlier!

This is a good product. It not only keeps your puppy/dog off of you while driving (which is illegal in some states and municipalities), but also keeps your puppy/dog safe in the case of an accident!The zip line itself is very sturdy and has withstood some chewing sessions from my teething puppy. It is also very long and easily adjustable. There is a nice elastic end that you can use to tie up the end of the zip line the you do not use. It works sometimes, but I don't always use it--which is why my puppy has chewed the loose end. The straps are made from fabric, like what you would find on a truck strap to hold down cargo. Very secure.The carabiners on the tether line are also very strong (heavy duty) yet still allow my puppy to slide side to side in the backseat with no problems or hiccups--they flow smoothly over the straps. The tether strap has multiple holes in it so you can adjust the length easily by changing the position of the carabiner on the tether line. Very convenient and very easy to use. The actual tether line is made from the same strong and sturdyAll straps (the zip line and the tether line) are great, very sturdy, no warping, and no damage due to puppy chewing.There are two hooks on each end of the zip line. You can either lock up the seatbelt to attach the zip line, or you can use the grab handles (I use the grab handles, see the photo below). What is nice with each hook is there is a center eye or circle where you can latch on the carabiner of the tether line. Thus, you can effectively limit your puppy/dog to one side of the backseat. So you can actually have two dogs on the zip line but on opposite sides of the backseat with no problem. This is very VERY nice.My only problem is that the hooks on each end are coated in rubber/plastic. Both ends of the hooks are already peeling back the protective rubber/plastic and are exposing the sharper, blunt metal end. I fear this will damage my hand grips if they pull a little or slip off, or when I am putting them on or off.Overall, I would recommend this product. It is very durable and very strong. I am just worried the the end hooks are peeling and the metal will be exposed in no time--I have only had this a couple of months and it is already occurring. If you have an active puppy/dog or a chewer, this zip line is for you!Below are three pictures--you can see how I attached the zip line in one really well.
