I was really excited to get a harness that would allow for latching to the anchors in our van. We bought the harness and used it on a road trip. I was VERY disappointed. Even though the harness was tightened and properly fitted to our dog, any time she moved too much, the harness buckles would end up twisting so that they were on her lower sides and not her back. She could then move enough to slip a leg out. She also managed to somehow loosen the harness several times. On the trip back, we used the harness connected directly to the seatbelt, instead of using the latch. The harness again twisted around her body and loosened slightly, but she wasn't able to slip a leg out.

I really like that this harness is built of high quality materials, and is seemingly strong enough to actually restrain the dog in the event of a crash (unlike some other harnesses that look like they'd break instantly). However, having to constantly stop to readjust the harness or tighten it was a big pain, and it wasn't doing a very good job of keeping the dog restrained. I think they need to redesign this so that the heaviest part (the buckles) isn't on the dog's back, because the weight of them seems to drag the harness around to the sides of the dog's body.

I had seen these harnesses elsewhere and they were more expensive. We have a (now) 30 lb. dog but got it when she was about 18-20 lbs. It was a little heavy and bulky for her at that point and I did not want to cut the straps until I knew how big she was going to be. It is easy to take on/off and keeps her at the right distance from the front seat (she can make it far enough to lay her head 1/2 way on our seat rest). She is great in the car, but at times it does get tangled and turned around abit, so we have to readjust it. We have tried it attached to the seat belt and also clipping it to the "babyseat latches). It seems to get less tangled if it is attached to the seat belt. The higher you are able to attach it, the better it seems work without twisting. Dog does not mind it, easy to use, great quality and perfect for our needs.

Great system, and it makes me feel more secure than a crate would.

My only real complaint is the rubber or plastic piece in the front that the straps cross through. It is not made well and will eventually break. Once that happens, you only recourse is to buy a whole new harness. it's a drag, but we were able to get 7 months of use out of the first one, which is pretty good mileage.

This is the only harness I know of that uses the substantial seat-belt straps. I trust my dog's life to this product. If we were to get rear-ended, he might have a little bruising. If he were in a crate in the "way-back" section of my SUV and we were to get rear-ended, he would be crushed. There's no viable alternative to this, as far as I can tell.
