Lola is probably close to 6lbs, I'm not exactly sure.

It was made in one continuous piece, so all of the knots would have to come out for it to come apart. I will finish off the ends but I need to test the length first.

The plan is to clip the small carabiner clip to Lola's harness and put the big screw on one around the seat belt.

I wanted a stronger clip to clip to her harness, but the only ones I could find were much bigger, much heavier, or screwed shut.
My truck has clips at the bottom of the seat where the back and the seat meet, where you hook a car seat onto them. Perhaps you could hook the clip around one of those?
