KurgoDog seat Belt Pet Safety Tether with Carabiner, Tru-Fit Enhanced Strength Replacement Tether, Use with Car Safety Dog Harness, seat Belt Tether (Black/Grey)

This is easy to use and works with my 11 lb terrier’s harness without having to unclip his leash. I will say when I had him buckled in the front seat it didn’t stop him from almost climbing in the driver seat and sometimes when he was more fidgety he tangled himself up in this and the seatbelt to the point where I felt like I needed to pull over and fix it. But it definitely keeps both of us much safer and now that he is more well trained he is secure and sits nicely. Works great in the backseat. Definitely recommend.

My pup outgrew his initial travel kennel and I needed a way to restrain him to prevent his curiosity from taking him on a tour of everywhere in the vehicle that looked interesting to him.Although the tether may restrict your dog's access and provide some level of safety, keep in mind that this is NOT a CPS (Center for Pet Safety) crash-tested device and neither are 99% of harnesses. Your best option is an approved kennel, which isn't always available or realistic for many people due to cost, space limitations, or other factors. Kurgo's tether is by no means perfect, but it may be a viable alternative for some level of protection by keeping your dog restricted to a particular area while traveling. Be cognizant that it's unlikely to do much in the case of an actual accident. Also, please do NOT attach this to your dog's collar. This is unsafe and can do damage to your dog's trachea should it yank against their throat if/when the vehicle jerks and/or crashes.Regardless, the Kurgo tether appears made of heavy materials that are quality and durable. The carabiner's screw gate locks tight and does not unscrew over time. (I've had this happen on other products, so you're forced to constantly check that it's not loose. Not the case here.) The tether quickly and easily attaches to the seatbelt. It also theoretically attaches easily enough to the puppy's harness--if your puppy is not a squirmy demonspawn like mine.I have used this in both the front and back seats of my vehicle. For the front, I slid this around/through the lapbelt. Otherwise, there is too much slack using the seatbelt across the chest (regardless of locking position), and my pup was able to pull himself further away (and even off the seat at times) than he should be for a safety restraint. Pup was also able to twist himself up around the tether on a few occasions, which made it even more of a pain trying to remove the tether. But my puppy pest may be talented that way. For the back, which is the only place I use it now, I combine this w/ a seat hammock. The tether attaches to the seatbelt under the hammock and then slips through a slit at the bottom of the hammock. This restricts the tether's movement a tad more and also helps keep my pup from getting tangled up quite as much.Is this perfect? Absolutely not, but it's still a relatively decent product that has its place to keep your pup from free roaming the vehicle while you're driving, which is dangerous in and of itself. If you're looking for a crash-tested product that will protect your pup during a motor vehicle accident? Look elsewhere; this isn't it.

We have a big rough collie puppy and this swivel gives him room to lay down or sniff out of the window. Really easy to clip on!!

UPDATE: Upgraded from 3 to 5 stars after getting a replacement clip that functions as designed. Much better than the tether that came with the harness.ORIGINAL: Good, sturdy tether bought to function with Kurgo Tru-Fit Enhanced Strength Harness. Unfortunately, the clip doesn’t always snap shut in its own, no matter which position the threaded lock is in. It’s a hassle to have to check and manually pull something that’s designed to automatically close. I’m returning for a replacement and hope I simply got a lemon. Otherwise I have to weigh the hassle of operation with the hassle of a twisted seatbelt, since the harness came with a non-swivel tether.

While this isn't a crash tested tether, it is, by far, the strongest one I have seen. The carabiner and the integral swivel appear to be very well designed and built. I've seen quite a few tethers with very robust looking carabiners, but they lack the integral swivel feature. Other tethers that have the swivel-eye snap hook connection will do the job, but aren't nearly as strong because the weak link is the thickness of shaft around which the snap hook swivels. I had a swivel-eye snap hook fail at the shaft on my dog leash and when I went to purchase a replacement at a local hardware store, I discovered a similar looking swivel-eye snap hook was only rated at 150 lbs. The Kurgo swivel shaft appears to be 2-3 times thicker and the metal work is pretty nice looking compared to what was on my leash and at the hardware store.

Use this if your dog tries to get into the front with you when you are driving..this can cause accidents if you have a big dog,as their head blocks the rear view back-up camera.

I wish it was adjustable, would be nice a couple of inches longer but this is a sturdy attachment to the seat belt strap keeping our pooch safer in the car.

This seatbelt attachment is great in theory, but not very durable. I’m sure it is better than nothing in the even if an accident, but my 1 year old lab mix was able to chew completely through the strap in a matter of 10 minutes. My 9 year old Aussie mix did just fine with it tho. Consider how playful and/or destructive your dog is when considering this purchase.

Me resulta muy útil ya que lo utilizó en dos coches a la vez y me parece más seguro que el resto de cinturones que van al anclaje. Tiene dos maneras de colocarse en el cinturón del coche, así que puedes adaptarlo mejor a las necesidades de tu perro. He tenido otros parecidos, que se enganchaban al cinturón, y si hay un frenazo el cinturón protege mejor al perro.Me gustaría que el mosquetón fuera de seguridad, ya que lo veo un poco endeble.

Liked it on the kurgo heather car seat, unfortunately that was too small for my 10kg dog, so I got a cushion style seat so she can lie down in the car and this clip so she is safely restrained to three actual car seat belt. Very easy to fit and doesn't move about.

I bought the Kurgo seatbelt tether to go with the Kurgo harness. The tether is great and works with pretty much any harness, whereas the Kurgo harness has not been as useful.AppearanceThe tether looks as it does in the product photos. It is a simple loop and clip that attaches the seatbelt to the dog harness.Ease of useIt is very simple to use and attach. It will attach to most harnesses and it is short, meaning that the dog remains close to the seat belt, which is important for safety and allows the seat belt to take up any strain from sudden braking of the car.DurabilityI have had this a number of months and I have no concerns about it's durability. Admittedly, it is not used very often, but I cannot see whey it would not stand up to daily use.CompatibilityAs mentioned, I believe this will work with any combination of dog harness and car seat belt. I don't believe you need to buy a Kurgo harness. The Kurgo harness I bought is very fiddly to fit and it has been replaced with something much easier to use.ConclusionWhile I do not recommend the Kurgo harness, this simple tether does exactly what is needed.

Mucho mejor y seguro que el típico cinturón, el animal no se mueve tanto y puede ir bien agusto, próximamente compraré también el arnés de la marca para complementar al máximo nuestra seguridad en el coche.

Having a small car most safety belts allowed my dog to still get through to the front. This is very short & strong does the job perfectly
