Does this dog seat just sit on the back seat of the car? Or does it only hng from the headress? I am looking for a cozy plAce for our 22lb dog when we travel 12hrs or so

It hangs from the headrest and also has a strap that goes around the seat. You can hang it on the back of the passenger seat if someone is riding in the passenger seat. I also have a 1/3 split seat in the back so I can hang it on that headrest as the strap can go around the seat. My Boston Terrier loves it and jumps right in when she gets into the car. She weighs about 16 pounds. I wouldn't travel without her being retrained either in a dog car seat or restraint of some sort. I am on my second Kurgo car seat and I love them.

My dog only weighs a bit over 13 lbs., so I can't say for sure; however, the people at Kurgo are extremely helpful and their website may even answer your question. The seat is suspended from the headrest. I don't think it would be a problem, but check with them.

You can see that the straps are from the lower and upper back so the lower front is totally unstable...no support. I had to put box under it.

It hangs from headrest and straps around seat. It is pretty sturdy but I'm not sure it would be large enough for a 22 pound dog.

I use it in the front seat over the headrest so my cavapoo can see out the window. You can put in in the back seat also. But there should be no problem with your dogs weight its very steady and your dog within the weight limit. I love it and this is my 3rd the other two I got right from Petsmart for my maltese who had cancer at 7 years and had to have him put down so I bought this one for the new cavapoo. The cordarory from the inside is suppose to be washable but I haven't had to wash it yet. So far a good and easy product to hook up and take down.

There are two straps, one for headrest and one that wraps around the seat, both are adjustable. My doggie weighs 4lbs and loves this seat. I made another pillow to boost her up even further. I agree with others, just stay within the weight requirement and it should work out for you. My husband sometimes only uses the upper strap. I always use both. Hope this helps.

I do not know for sure. It could be a little loose. There are 3 ways to keep the cover in place. First, a strap with a clip on the top that goes around the head rest ( you should be able to use this), then a strap that goes around the entire seat back (if your back seat folds down in sections you will probably be able to use the back strap, or as you suggest it might fit in a seam, but that does not sound too secure), and finally there is a strap that would go around the bottom and under the seat. I do not know what you could attach that strap to. So if you only have 1 out of 3 ways to secure the cover working it could be loose. But if the dog is not moving around it might be okay. Good luck!

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.

Yes. I only secure mines by the headrest. Hopefully your dog isn't too big.

it has 4 bands on the unit, that gets attached to the top of your seat head restaner. The only problem is that, your dogs can jump up in the middle and end up in your front seat. I have golden ret. 65lbs and i have to tell her to get back in the seat. It's great, when she is not moving around...

Yes , get the xlarge. Got large but no room to sleep. You need a headrest in back seat. And there is a double way to secure it with the seat belt. I also pay chased extra clamps to extend the ability of the dog to get up and look out window. It also makes a great basket for small groceries or restaurant leftovers withou sailing through the car��

I don't. Just hang top strap over headrest and the bottom ones just buckle in the back of the seat. There's a short leash inside to hold the dog in place if that's what you need to know.

You don't need a seat belt from your car with this seat. It attaches not only to the head rest of your car seat, but also has its own seat belt that goes around the entire seat inside your car. It also has a hook to attach to your dogs harness that they wear. You would not want to hook it to a collar and choke them. My Sophie, maltese, loves it. You can raise it to different heights for them to see out of the car or not. I love it. Great purchase.

We have Golden Retrievers and our bigger one (over 100#) loves to put his head over the seat to cuddle with us. He has no problem doing this. IF you want him in the front seat you can put the harness there. BUT the idea of the harness is to keep the dog safe and not inhibit your driving. Your call I suppose.

Since I don't know what the rear seat of a Mini Cooper is like I really don't know, however I wish it was a little tighter in my GMC Terrain. I have had it in the vehicle now for over a week & I must say it seems to stay in place good. My dog is a Jack Russell so he is not a large dog but he jumps around quite a bit & it seems to be doing a good job. It is certainly better than what I previously had. I wanted something I could take off quickly if someone wanted to ride with me & not have to sit on a dog hair seat & it is easy to take off & put back on. Good Luck!

The fleece cover on the big seat is removable for washing but not the little cushion. I just place a blanket over it so it wont get too dirty but it is GREAT car seat and both my small dogs can fit into the large sized bucket seat very comfortably and it has 2 straps to hold two little dogs. My dogs are nervous travelers and this bucket seat has made it so enjoyable for them to ride in a car!

My dog enters the car by the door on the side of the car, so the ramp sits on the car seat. If entering the car by the back, you probably need to put an old bath towel on the car bumper.

there are actually two straps that go around the headrest. The smaller one supports the weight of the back (grey "backboard" in the picture) and the second, longer one, goes from the front of the seat to the headrest. This second one is extra long and adjustable. Both simple loop over the headrest. I feel the carseat is very stable-I've never had it slip around or move. This speaks well for the quality, because my puppy is very active in the car:)

There is a large gap on the sides where the square pole attaches to the head rest. The gap depends on the type of vehicle you have. I have a Toyota Camry and my 20 pd dog can easily jump through to the front seat. She can also get her entire head around to pester my guest in car. I have a normal dog. Not overly ambitious.

My Altima doesn't really have a head rest, but more of a bump where a head rest would be. If that makes sense. So when I hang it from that it falls. So, I just kind of prop it up on the car seat. She's still too little to reach it to kick it yet. Maybe if that seat fold forward you could rig it to fit around the seat?
