Meadowlark XL Dog Seat Covers Unique Design & Full Car Protection-Doors,Headrests & Backseat. Extra Durable Zippered Side Flap, Waterproof Hammock Pet Seat Cover + Seat Belt & 2 Headrest Protectors

My toy dog loves to ride in the car and I had been tethering his harness to the side overhead hand hold so that he could look out the window and front of the car while riding. My new SUV has seven airbags which automatically deploy during an accident----the front passenger airbags if deployed would kill my small dog sitting in the passenger seat on his bed. I found these dog seat covers on amazon for the backseat of a car or SUV and decided to try them since they are padded and protect the animal from being thrown through the windshield or being crushed by an airbag. It took only minutes to attach the back padded part to the back seat by putting the straps around the headrests of the backseat and the front straps on the front seats' headrests There are two straps each inside a plastic tube that you push down between the top and bottom portions of the car seat to anchor the seat cover in place on the seat and the bottom of the seat cover is slip resistant. I didn't need to shorten the width of the cover since it fit my SUV's backseat nicely. Small straps are included to attach the zippered ends of the seat covers to the back hand holds and you can open and close the ends of the covers, or in the case of my small dog I merely lift him over the side of the cover without unzipping it. In the middle of the seat cover there is a hook and loop fastener which allows you to separate the dog in his seat cover from a back seat passenger. I opened the hook and loop in the center of the seat cover enough to allow me to connect the dog's harness to the car's seat belt using a short seat belt included for this purpose. I then put two of his padded dog beds inside the backseat cover and he is high enough in the seat to see out the window without being in a position to have a side airbag crush him if deployed in an accident. Does he prefer these seat covers to sitting beside me in the front passenger seat tethered to the hand hold?...no, but he will get used to it and he is so much safer since I let him ride in the car whenever possible. There are two head rest covers you can use for the front or back seat's headrests, but it isn't necessary for my small dog since he doesn't get high enough to reach the headrests. It would be nice if the entire seat cover was padded and not just nylon running along the back of the front seat. The zippers on each end of the seat cover are heavy duty and both work perfectly so that you can let the animal in or out of the car on either side. I definitely recommend use of these seat covers to protect animals while riding in a car or SUV--I feel these seat covers are a good investment in protecting my dog while riding in the car. A safe alternative for protecting a dog in a car would be transporting the animal in a hard-shell carrying kennel secured to the car's seat belt but some people are afraid the animal would be trapped in case of fire if the animal was locked into a carrying kennel. Cats of course should be in carrying kennels and if there is a side airbag, the kennel should be hard-shell.

I rarely provide product feedback, however I feel compelled to share positive feedback for the Meadowlark Dog Seat Cover, to help other pet owners who may be looking for a viable pet-cover solution for their vehicle. Note: I purchased the Standard sized cover for my 2015 Toyota Highlander, which fit perfectly. High quality, durable product & material, and nice-looking too. Great price. Easy to install (includes easy instructions), literally had it in-place in less than 1 minute. The seatbelt extra works great too and was a nice bonus. Multiple configurations, including allowing for a passenger to sit on one side, next to your pet. I use both the back and front headrests to secure - but you could just use the back headrests if desired. The cover creates a nice 'cocoon-ish' environment, especially if you opt to put the sides flaps up (with provided straps which connect to the roof handles). My dog loves it - she feels more secure and comfortable. 100% protection for your car's seats. Beach runs, muddy walks, pet hair, even car-sickness, etc. To clean, I simply remove the cover, shake or brush it, and put it right back again. I haven't had to wash it yet, but seems that it would be an easy task to throw into a washing machine. I wish I had purchased this cover a few years ago!

So to start this XL- Meadowlark Premium Hammock seat cover will work in a 2020 HighLander Limited Platinum’s or large truck’s. I hope this helps many reviews don’t mention the vehicles it being used in which Leeds to return’s because it doesn’t fit. I waited to write the review because the last cover didn’t even last 1 year. Not a problem with this quality unit. The fit is better than expected for a multiple use unit. It can be installed in minutes after the initial adjustment’s. This unit will protect our leather seats and side panels from scratches while keeping them safe. The non slip really works well so they don’t fall while securing them in a safe cocoon. They can see us which is calming to them and there is a zipper in case you need to get to them. The Meadowlark is also waterproof and contains their hair and slobber! So being waterproof makes clean up quick first a vacuum then soap water and a sponge it’s done! We are so happy with this product because it does everything it’s supposed to do. Easy installation keeps the dogs safe clean up is easy and it’s durable while looking very nice! I don’t just hand out 5 stars but this product earned it!

This cover fits really well in the '22 Ford F150 supercab, and has held up well for the last couple of years. It is fairly easy to install and remove for cleaning, or just a shake out.

Pictured here in a 2019 Ford Edge. I got this for my Dane puppy and so far I’m happy with its performance and fit. I like that it’s easy to unzip on either side to let him in and out of the vehicle. I like that it’s possible to unzip the front when he’s sacked out in the back after a long hot walk, so that he can receive some air conditioning. If he becomes too rowdy and tries to climb through to the front, I use an added measure: I open up my console cover and swing it back against the webbing for added barrier effect. It’s so easy to install too. I just wish the headrest covers weren’t quite so “poofy”; they’re a little loose. But I guess that’s just the price you pay for this product being a one-size-fits-all. Overall a great quality seat protector; probably the best option out there.
