Is this seat also designed to work in a back seat with a headrest?

yes, i put the strap over the headrest then attached the strap to the seat belt

It would depend on whether you can anchor the lower strap which is essential. This is a great product and my little one loves it. The one enhancement I made was to add foam water pipe insulation around the top three rims to make it more comfortable for my dog to rest her head. We traveled 4,000 mi. this last summer and she loved it!

I am using this in the backseat, which has a headrest. In fact, it requires a headrest I think. My back seat has a single seat and a double seat - I use it on the single seat side.
1387581
It could. Since my SUV has a split seat it would work. The dog seat uses the head rest and has a strap that goes around the seat. if you have a bench seat in the back it may not work for you.
1387582
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.

Yes, it works very well with a head rest. That's where mine sits, in the backseat around the headrest. Carol Foreman. I love it, the dog is still wearing her sad face but she is safer than on my lap. She only weighs 10 lbs.

Yes, I have used it in the back seat with a headrest. I have a Nissan Murano and it has a folding down back seat that is divided into 2 parts. One part is a normal size seat and the other part is double in size, so it only works on the part of the back seat that is the normal size. There is a strap that goes around the seat in the car, so as long as your back seat is able to have the strap go around it, you should be good to go. I love this car seat and so does my dog. She is 6 lbs and can look out the window and I know she is secure and can't be thrown if I should have to stop suddenly for any reason.

As long as the seat can b pulled down to connect the security strap that goes around the seat itself.There are two needed straps..the one around the headrest and another one that straps around the seat itself. If the dog is light enough and not too jumpy you could probably get away with just using the headrest strap I suppose but it is intended to have the seat strap used.I have a 30 pound king charles spaniel I (lazily) just threw the headrest strap for one day..it collapsed and poor thing got so scared so I know he is too large to get away with that lolSo my suggestion is if you are able to open the back seat to use that seat strap it would def work.Hope I was some help..

I believe it would only work in a backseat where there is a way it can be anchored. Our SUV with buckets seats it works fine but in our car with a solid, one piece backseat we do not use it. We love this seat though!!

Yes this is true. There's a handle in the back you have to pull out and then up or down to adjust the headrest and straps simultaneously. It would be impossible to do while installed. You DO NOT have to rethread the straps.

No, the seat back and seat bottom are one piece. The headrest is a separate piece.
1571217
I use it in the front, I guess you could put it in the back but it would be difficult to sit on it, that said it really do work well..
579770
Yes it does. The whole surface where you lie down is padded. You can adjust the headrest as well (2 positions).
623557
I'm not sure. I would think that would depend on the width of the seat back that you're considering covering. There are 3 straps that are attached to the seat back cover that you slide down until they're at the right position. And then there's the headrest piece but you could probably let that flop. Personally, I would just buy a split rear seat cover instead of taking a chance but then, I don't like paying for return postage if it doesn't work out! :)

Yes. The angle of the backrest is adjustable, so you can tune it to your seating preferences. The extra seat padding is very comfortable. If you are on open bench seating, you can use the straps to lock it in place and flat to the seat. If not, this will still work fine held in place by your weight.

yes, the straps that are made to go around the headrests can also go around the top corners of the seat and attach around the back. may not stay up as well as they would around the headrests, but worth a try.
1868257
Yes but it is held in place by going around the head rest. So if your middle seat does not have a head rest, it might not stay up the way it was intended to.
481246
I dont believe so. My headrest is separate, and it works well. All that holds it is on strap belt, so unless your headrest has a neck, i think it would rub on your head as well and pinch the seat.
1867270
Unless you somehow rigged it, then I don't think so. It has a strap that ties vertically so not sure how you can do it without a headrest with a space between it and the seat. You can always order it, try it and then return it if it doesn't work out.
1929797
Yes. They adjust front and back. The resistance is quiet low, so even a fast stop will move the headrests slightly forward. If you lean back on them with any pressure they will move back. Not really designed for safety I guess. We constantly have to pull them forward so that they are more safe incase of a rear end accident causing whiplash.

At the top end of the back seat cover (3 parts) are 2 little zip-ups to fit the headrests through. So basically the cover should work with any shape of back seat. It depends on the shape of the headrest if the roughly shower cap-shaped headrest cover will fit. I think you can find a way to make it work & look good... Have fun Sarah

I would think it would work because you can tighten it up to accommodate the distance between the front and back seats. Need headrests on both. Hope this helped!

It seems to work fine there as it has some weight to it and it is attached to headrests both in front and in back. The only potentially exposed area is right on the side edges where the dog may not fully jump onto the seat.

Anya, According to the manufacturer it will work without headrest, but honestly I don't know how well the cover would stay up without the headrest to strap it to. You may be able to find some compatible straps with the same size plastic clip-buckles to further secure it. It is a pretty nice seat cover over all and I would recommend it. Hope this helps!

Yes, the headrest is a separate piece, but I don't know why you'd want to leave it off
