Kurgo Wander Hammock Cover, Dog Car Seat Protector, Durable Scratch-Resistant Material, Waterproof, Black

First, I'll start by saying that I've owned and seen several car covers for dogs and this one by far is the best in terms of durability, water resistance, and style while accommodating human passengers when you have more than furry friends on board. I bought it almost a year ago and it lives exclusively in my back seat as at least one of our 2 dogs comes along with us or needs a ride somewhere every day. I recently also moved it from my main car (Hyundai Elantra) to a rental (Toyota 4Runner) that I took cross county with and it was game changing for keeping the car clean despite lots of hair, muddy paws, and MESSY meals (think yogurt everywhere...). My main car is a bit small for it but it does work exactly as designed, and the Toyota rental was the perfect width except the elastic bands that were designed to go around the seat bottom to keep it in place didn't work with the hinges on the bench that allow you to fold the seats out. In both cars though, the seat belt holes are wide enough to accommodate both car sizes and seat belt placements and the velcro kept the mess from sliding down onto the seat you're trying to protect.I would have given 5 stars until switching this from my car to the rental; the day-after-day Virginia sun must have stiffened the material the seat rest straps are made of and they basically dissintegrated. The clips themselves also became brittle over time and have since busted during the transition then out of the rental after the 3-week trek across country.That being said, I'm actually writing this review because I'm going to buy a new one to replace my first one, but at the price point I would suggest to Kurgo to make the straps as durable as the rest of the seat and for people to only buy it if you either plan to never take it out of your car or always take it out of the car before leaving it in the sun.

I got this for our Corgi and Canaan to ride in my 2008 Fusion. The Corgi would demand so much of the seat, the Canaan had to sit with paws on the edge of the seat. The Corgi would also try to scoot up to the front seat. My goals were to protect the seat, provide a way to keep the Canaan from slipping off the seat, and to keep the Corgi in the back where he belongs. So far this fills the bill.I gave this only 3 stars. It definitely helps with the reason I bought it. But there are some things I wish were better, and I can't vouch for the long term durability.It fits my back seat, but the design could be better. If it were a bit wider, the excess could fit down between seat and door and help keep the dogs from exposing the edge of the back seat as they get in. My Fusion does not have large enough headrests in the back seat to hook the hammock on. Instead, I had to use the child seat anchors. Threading the straps through them works well. The instructions say to slip the bungee cord under the seat to anchor the hammock to the seat. Unfortunately, there is no way to do that on the Fusion. The cord is anchored too far forward.It rises enough in front the Corgi can't scoot through the front seats to get up where I don't want him. The Canaan now has enough room to lay down and not fear falling to the floor.It could use a bit more width, and the bungee in a better location. I'm not sure of any better way to fasten to a back seat when you don't have the requisite headrest. But, it would be nice to have more options.I've used this for a month and a half so far, and it works well. I can't speak to how the material will hold up. But so far it is holding up very well.Right now my wife drives a two-door. It isn't practical to use the hammock in that type of car because the dogs can't get in easily. We are getting my wife a different car. I'm getting her a hammock so she can take the dogs with her too.An unexpected benefit: my wife got some potted roses to plant. I put them on the hammock for the ride home. The roses rode well sitting on the hammock. They leaked onto the cover and the interior was protected. The mess cleaned up easily too.If you have dogs, and a 4-door car, this is definitely worth considering for the back seat.Update:Since first publishing my review, I've transferred this to a 2006 Ford F150 FX4. It fits across the seat same as it did in the Fusion. A little more width would have been nice. It is a bit of a stretch from the back to the headrests on the front seats. It seems a bit tight fit around the posts of the headrests. A slightly longer strap would help. But, it does fit. There is more room under the hammock to stow some gear on the floor. I have upped this to a 4-star rating because it definitely fits the wider gap of the back seat of the pickup. However, it still has the width issue and the the straps to fasten the front around the headrest posts could be a bit longer.Update: 20110917Used this to take my corgi with me for a 2200 mile trip. It worked out great! Used a dog bed for him to rest on which helped raise him up a bit. Gear was stowed under the hammock on the floor. Also slipped some stuff on the seat to the side and under the hammock. To remove dog hair I just put on a pair of latex gloves and run my hands along it. You do have to clear the velcro of hair, especially if it parts while loading and unloading around the hammock, or the dog manages to work it loose. Still wish it were a tad wider though. And maybe just a bit more reach from front to back. But, overall I'm very glad I bought this for the dogs.Update: 20120524If I could, I'ld now give it 4 1/2 stars.As you can see, I've had this in use for quite awhile now. And it is still holding up great! Not only that, but when I'm working fence, I can toss tools in the back on it and it protects the seat. I've had tarps, hand tools, heavy bags of softner salt, groceries, all kinds of things that find their way in the back seat of my FX4 cab when it is raining out, or has to be kept secured. This was definitely one of my better purchases for my vehicle.Update: 20140130Well, it is finally showing its age. Starting to sag by the backs of the front seats. (Odd, I'm starting to sag out front too?) A rolled up dog bed fills the 'trench' and keeps the old Corgi (14 yo now) out of it. Still water resistant. But velcro for openings in the hammock have to be cleared of dog hair from time-to-time. (With 2 dogs that is not at all surprising.) Had to replace one strap that broke at a buckle, but used a short piece of rope rather than resewing with webbing. In its defense, a lot more than just dogs have been kept off the floor by it.Overall, it is well worth the cost. When this one finally has to be replaced I'll be looking for the same as a replacement.Final note: Because of how long it has held up; the loads it has held up with; and the fact it has never really given me any significant issues at all, it now deserves a 5-star rating.20170429-I know I had said the last was the final update, but wanted to add this final comment on the original hammock I was using. Gus died 2015. He was a trooper. My new girl, Dixie, now rides in his place. I finally replaced the original hammock last winter. The backing was finally cracking and flaking off enough, and some of the straps fraying that I decided to just install the new one in the back of my F150. I don't think anyone can go wrong with this product. It had held up almost 6 years.

Mein Hund hatte hinten im Kofferraum (SUV) immer rumgejammert. Mit der Brückendecke bleibt er auch auf langen Touren auf der Rückbank ruhig und zufrieden.

Facile d'entretien, robuste, pratique

Bought as gift for husband's new black car with leather interior. This cover works amazing. I got a grey one for my grey car. The canvas is strong and thick. Like how it doesn't shift around. The leather back seats of our cars are beautiful and still look new.
