Can you use this in a front bucket seat? She likes to be up front with me, but I don't want her on my lap which is where she like to be.

I believe you could, but I prefer the safety of the back seat so there is no trying to climb over to me, the driver. You can adjust it short enough to allow only enough room to be in a sitting or lying position on the bucket seat. Again, I would be more concerned about the safety should an airbag deploy, too. That could be very harmful to a dog and the back seat would just be much safer all around - in my opinion.

They sell a short strap that connects the harness to the seatbelt--but I would think the reality is she could still stretch over to the driver's seat particularly in a small car or pickup cab.

Yes it can go in the front, but if your dog is anything like mine, you'll probably want to combine this with a booster seat. My dog used to sit on my lap too, and I was always so paranoid she would get hurt, but she would whine and try to jump on my lap whenever I put her in the passenger seat, which wasn't safe either. So I got a harnesses and a booster seat and now she's content to sit in the passenger seat, as long as I still pet her. Definitely make sure you can turn the airbag off.

You can use it up front, but the seatbelt might be long enough for her to try and get into your lap anyway.Maybe you can buckle the seatbelt and see how far it comes over to the driver's side. if it reaches all the way, she'll be able to move that far.

Leslie,I normally keep my dog in the back seat of my car, but on occasion (he always prefers the front seat) I will let him sit up front with me. I just attach the leash or a rope around the passengers seat with enough slack and attach the clasp or other end of rope to the loop on the back of his harness. I allow enough slack for him to move about - somewhat, but not enough so that if I slammed on the brakes he would hit the dash or window.I hope this helps. Best regards,Jeff Turner

No .... it is specifically for the back seat. There is NO safe system for putting the dog in the front seat. They are like a speeding bullet going through the front window. Reward your dog for sitting in the back seat. I don't know the correct size for your dog -- go on the company website where there are detailed directions.

i use it behind my front seat. it took quite awhile to configure it so the sneaky beagle couldn't get thru. several bungy cords and many trials later, he can't get into the front seat. it would be too tall for keeping the dog from getting out of the cargo area of a station wagon. hope that helps.

Hello BethAnn. Not sure if this will attach correctly if you dont have a separate headrest. Reason is, I clip the upper strap around and under the headrest and it attaches easily but securely like that. What makes the upper strap secure is the fact the part of the seatback near the headrest serves as a stop so the strap doesnt rise up and slide off... If your car has a good seam or indent at that spot, it may work. Otherwise, it may slip off which would make the carrier unstable and fall forward..If your pup is not big or heavy and it doesnt pull on that upper strap, it may keep it in place if you pull it tight and down toward the back of the seat more. My Doggie is just about 7 lbs. Perhaps you may retrofit this by somehow locking in the upper with the lower strap to secure it from sliding up and off ...When I have my pup in it I have to say it is a wonderful safe ride. I dont use a collar but a doggie harness and it clips right to the seat. Doggie can not jump or fall out. The only thing with using it is when someone wants to ride in the front with me, I have to remove the seat. Never tried the back seat. You might have more luck that way...and it might be a tighter fit. I think I would try it if the return policy (should it not work) is fair and inexpensive...I love mine. Good Luck!

I never tried that but I don't think a car seat will fit in the front. Only the back seat reclines. You also may not find it as sturdy as you would like for it to be. It was okay for us (2 toddlers) but it did not receive a lot of heavy use. There are others much easier to steer. Consider the city select.

Yes, you can slide the bucket while someone is on the seat. If you lift the top the bucket is lifted also, because the slide is attached to the seat so the only way to remove the bucket is to slide it in the back

If the back seat has a head rest that the strap can slip over, then yes. However, I do use mine in the front seat. The back seat will NOT allow you, however, to secure the bottom strap which is designed to buckle behind the back of the seat itself keeping the carseat snug against the back of the seat.

Hi Ashley,Unfortunately my husband and I tried to do the same but we're unable to do so. The toddler seat cannot fit facing forward with the infant carseat on top.

She may be able to get over the top because the netting will only go to the top of the head rest. If she can get around the side of the seats the netting will not stop her.

I think your car has removable headrests - it might not be a perfect fit - my car had non removable headrests - my bucket seats were one piece. Hope this helps.

I don't see any problem with back seat I have mine in front and when I have a passenger I just flip seat over headrest and passenger can sit with no problem my little Pom. Loves it she sits in it so good I do snap harness just in case of fast stop.

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

we have ours in the backseat of car on top of the armrest (in the backseat). we run the middle seat belt through the straps on the back. our dog also wears a riding harness. it works great for her!

Yes, that can happen however I have found that safety pinning the strap to the seat belt has reduced some of her range of motion and keeps her a bit more settled into the spot where she should be. Now and then I still have to get her untwisted, however much less now with the strap pinned down.

Sorry, used ours on rear facing seat, so can't answer your question about bucket seats.

Not normally, even if it is not tied down due to the backing and resistance between the seat and the pad. But to be sure, use the tie downs that come with the pad. With that said, experiment with the amount of air you put in it as it will move between her bum and the seat due to under-inflation. Kind of a wallowing motion. Some people like this as it is very soft for sitting long periods of time. But the pad itself should not move at all.

Nope. You just have to move the snack tray to the back, fold it down, then sit the seat there. The baby's feet will be under the handles. There's a strap that holds it in place. I just went to look at it at another store to make sure before I bought it. I'm not sure if you can use the seat in the front seat.
