The other thing is the air bag, if you have dog in a harness in a seat then the airbag in a major accident will deploy, and without the exterior protection of a harness could cause a "crushing" type of injury.
We do have a van and travel with the dogs in crates in back of car. I use a smallish crate for Razzle when travelling; he has room to turn around in it only. We use the shoulder seat belt, linked through the slot designed for it, and then it is buckled in just like you would for a human.
The larger crates are bungee cord down.
