| Anyone know of a good seat belt harness? Hi all, I am looking to get Jack a way to secure him in the car. He wants to move around while I am Driving. I am thinking of a strap that can attach to the seatbelt or anchor somehow. Any input would be highly appreciated! Thanks, Dean |

| You might look up the safety tests they did on tethers and such a while back. I think they all failed during sudden stops or simulated crashes. I just put Tibbe in his buckled in airline carrier which also protects him from the airbag as we don't have a backseat for him to ride in. I don't know if a harness that a seatbelt fits through would be more reliable or not but it might since there might be less torque - IDK. Pet car safety restraints found to be less-than-effective in recent study

I was recommended to just use the kennels and buckle them up safely. I see nothing safer than that personally. If not someone may feel free to explain. I'm curious.

| I have a buddy belt and a SleepyPod. I don't know about the buddy belt, but the SleepyPod did very well in the crash simulations. |

| It's not as much fun for for the dog but we make rest/fun stops if we are traveling far and Tibbe has learned to settle in and lie down during the car trips. I wish the carrier could fit on a box or something so it was up and he could see out but don't think that could be as secure. I worry about that airbag killing him in even a little crash as much as I do him crashing into the dashboard or something. At least in the hardshell airline carrier, he's safe from the airbag and flying missiles within the car, too, should the worst happen. I put his bigger stuffed toys in with him to help cushion him. Wish there were a more scenic answer for him though.

| I use buddy belts and (hmmmm), the harness sold by petsmart for car seats. (Can't think of its actual name) It has a soft wool layer to cushion the actual harness which is awesome for long car rides!
