Fits perfect in our SUV
This invention is genius. Our 64lb super mutt love riding in the back seat with the gap between the front and rear seat firmly covered. This thing is sturdy, will support 100 pounds easily. Covers the gap between the front bucket seats to keep her in the back seat. Space under the overhang has easy access storage that’s dog proof.It easily swaps from our Forester and MDX in 5 minutes. Completely protects the leather seats. Great value. Easy to clean and folds up for storage in a couple minutes to get humanoids in the back row of seats . It also fits in the third row seats of the MDX but the middle row passengers will get plenty of kisses on the back of their ears!

Our Husky Loves It!
Perfect for our 80 lbs Husky Mix. Maximizes his space/comfort in the back seat for everything from short trips to the store, to 20+ hour road trips. No more slipping, falling to the floor when breaking suddenly, or sitting awkwardly half up and half down on the seat/floor. The material is thick and durable, water repellent and easy to clean. The pockets are great for leashes and bowls, water bottles or treats. The zipper panel in the center is great for when we want to restrict his access to the front of the car, and zipping it down halfway can act as a platform for him to lay and rest his head near us but not fully onto the center console. The access to the seat buckle is great for per owners who use safety belts/buckle leashes. And for pets who demand time looking out the window like ours does, the window covers easily fold under the seat extender to allow full access to one or both windows.

Keeps my car clean
Fits terrific in my Lincoln aviator with a rear, center middle console. It make a flat sturdy, thick middle with the padding. It's easy to put in your vehicle. The only thing that takes a minute is zipping the window sides, making it a complete box. ( if you want to do that) otherwise you unfold and put the straps around the headrest and that’s it. It has a nice thick fabric, it is a bit slippery of a texture, but it should be fine if we need to clean it. Well worth the price! Also like the pocket to store dog stuff and the leash provided that pushes into the seatbelt.

Supports our 65 pound shepherd
I have a 65+ pound German Shepherd mix. I was worried no matter what cover I got it wouldn't support him. This cover has exceeded my expectations. I loved that it extends all the way to the back of the front seats. The door covers we usually keep folded under the base of the matt, but when we have used them they were very handy. It's a great addition to our vehicle and has saved our leather seats over and over again. I especially like that it fold up so easily, unlike other soft covers we've had that we would result to curling up in a ball and tossing onto a shelf in the garage. It's so easy to install and clean. It can be a little slippery for our dog (his balance is questionable though). I have thrown a blanket on it from time to time when we do long trips, but otherwise he finds it quite comfortable

Great for old dogs
My dog used to hate car rides, he never could find a comfortable spot. Not only is he able to get in and out of the car easier but he layed down and fell asleep within the first 5-10 minutes of our car ride - this has never happened before.This thing is….- sturdy (my dog is 70lbs)- comfortable for my dog- super easy to install- sits over my backseats pretty flush with no wasted space (i drive a honda civic)

perfect for outdoor traveling
I upgraded to this cover from one that did not have a hard bottom and this has been such a game changer! It stays perfectly put and the Velcro where you buckle in the dog car seat restraint is powerful and doesn’t let dirt through. It perfectly covers the back seat and the material seems to be really sturdy/good quality. I love the pockets it has to store our various leashes we use. We hike outdoors almost everyday and it has held up well to the dirty pup that gets in after hikes. I would definitely recommend

Very comfortable for dogs
We like this back seat platform for dogs. We transported rescued dogs for various Dog Rescues in the southwest. The dogs ride more comfortable on the platform than sitting in a crate. We like the flexibility of this.

Perfect fit
Really impressed with this. In a time when you can't really be sure if the product will be a quality item, this one delivers. We ordered the first one for our 2019 Lexus RX350 and it fits perfect, just ordered a second for our 2019 Ford F250. The firm base extends the 'floor' for our small pups by a great amount. We previously had a soft sling-style protector that did well, but gave the pups limited space to get up and change positions. This one is far better and exceeds our expectations.

No new breakouts!
We originally purchased this to keep our 10 year old lab mix from wandering too far in the car following his TPLO surgery. It's been amazing. The seat extender keeps him close, comfortable, and supports his 85 pound weight without a problem. We've had it over a year for multiple weeks of physical therapy and were so happy we had it last week when he fell and injured his back. Again, this devise keeps him calm and contained. *We did line the bottom with a yoga mat to make the surface a bit less slippery.

So much more room for them
Love this back seat extender for our two Labradors (55 and 60 pounds). We have a Chevy Traverse, with deep bucket seats. I was so impressed how sturdy the cover was, and how it turned bucket seating into a large flat sitting area for the dogs. We’ve used this when transporting the dogs to the lake for a swim.

Supports our 170lbs moose
I bought this mainly for our road trip to Niagra Falls even though our boy Moose rides with us almost every day. Moose is 170 lbs and I was concerned it wouldn't hold up but we've taken our trip and it is still in great shape. It's given him the extra room to lay down comfortably and given me the peace of mind knowing he won't step off the seat into the floor. I would definitely recommend this product.
