This product is AMAZING! Like many of you I am sure, I searched and searched for the perfect barrier to keep my 95 pound 2 year old lab in the back of my SUV and out of my lap (which is where he thought he needed to be). After an exhaustive search, I bought one of the traditional, tension style tubular barriers from Midwest. let me tell you....IT WAS CRAP!! Not all of the pieces were in it, the bars slid everywhere and my dog quickly found out how to push his head through them on a 2 hour drive. When I found this barrier, it looked much easier. The other was a pain to put together and then even more of a pain to install in the car by myself. I put the zookeeper together in literally 40 seconds and then installed it in about 2 minutes (I had to figure out the straps which took all of 5 seconds). This is perfect....it moves with the seats just like it says, it stays in place (the other almost hit me in the back of the head when I stopped), and it keeps him in the back. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for a good barrier. It is incredibly light yet still does the job. It is a little more than some of the cheaper ones, but trust me when I say you get what you pay for. I LOVE this product and have recommended it to friends already. Buy it and you won't regret it!!!!!!!!

Truly I was excited about this product as I have two dogs that have road anxiety and thought this would help to keep them in the back seat. We have a Toyota Tundra and an Acura, both have bucket seats. When we put it in the Tundra we were impressed at how easy it was to install and the flexibility of it. However within 5 minutes our Border managed to crawl under the bottom rail and get into the front seat - he weighs 33 lbs. Then our Terrier mix at 26 lbs simply squeezed between the bars and got stuck part way after a fair amount of panic and one of us trying to help her get unstuck- she eventually managed to crawl all the way through the bars. If one of us had been alone all of this would have been totally confusing and distracting to the driver.

Trying to return the product has been a joke. We have called and emailed the company that shipped it (Polar Fusion) and still have had zero response. Okay, we apologize, the owner of Polar Fusion did not receive our first emails and then have had personal pet issues so we understand the delay in the return of the product.

We love the style, the idea and concept, but think it needs more work.
Especially bars that are closer together and maybe bungee cords at the bottom to keep brilliant Houdini dogs from crawler under the bottom rail.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gate for rear of small SUV, August 23, 2010

I did SO much research on dog gates before settling on this one, and I have to say that I'm not at all disappointed. Because this gate hooks onto the headrests of the seats, it doesn't have many of the same problems with staying in place that I saw on other models. I didn't like the all wire ones that looked too much like a cage. I heard that the netting ones were too hard to keep in place (double stick tape comes undone) and I heard mixed reviews on the trombone models with the tension mount. Many people complained that the tension mount was never secure enough. By bungee-cording the gate right onto the headrests, this one bypassed all those issues. We were able to adjust the bungees for a nice tight fit and it hasn't so much as wobbled since we set it up two weeks ago.

I really like this one because the trombone style allows for great visibility, doesn't feel too much like a cage (passengers in the backseat can still pet the dog if they want) and it fits perfectly in our Honda CRV (a compact SUV). The directions suggest you can use this for the backseat of a car, but I think a crafty dog could crawl under between the seats if they tried. But in the rear section of an SUV, this worked perfectly!

However, I must admit that this gate might not be for everyone, as we have several factors in our favor: our SUV is small enough that we don't have to slide the trombone peices out very far - and even with them tucked all the way away, our medium-large dog couldn't wiggle through if she tried. Also, our dog is very well behaved, and we have worked very hard to reward her for sitting in the back of the car. I left her in the car (in the shade with the windows cracked and water...) for about an hour while I ran errands, and she was perfectly content sitting behind this gate.
