Amazon Basics Adjustable Dog Car Barrier for Vehicles, 59.72 x 5.20 x 16.46 in, Black

Got this to keep from having to lug a dog crate in and out of the cargo compartment of my Honda CRV. I use it along with a cargo liner and tether and it works perfectly to keep my dog safely contained in the cargo area and not jumping over the seat. It gives him enough room to move around safely and comfortably. It was easy to install, adjusts to fit and sits sturdily in place with no movement or noise. Dog is happy, I am happy.

I have two dogs who pout if they don’t get to go on daily rides to take my kids to school. I don’t love their nails on my leather seats, and they both shed a lot, so I decided to try them in the cargo area of my SUV instead, which is a bit easier to keep clean. I ordered this obviously to provide the separation and curb their desire to be closer to their humans. It works well. It was not hard to install once I got all the parts and pieces put together. I can take it on and off pretty easily, but I do need to climb into the cargo area to do so. I drive a 2014 Ford Edge SUV and this fits pretty well. I could expand it a bit more for a wider vehicle, like a Yukon or Tahoe, and it would likely fit well too without too much gap on the sides. I was worried this would be too flimsy, but for my dogs it is sturdy enough. That being said, neither of them push their boundaries too much. An incredibly determined bigger dog might be able to pull it/dislodge it from position, but it wouldn’t really be easy to do if installed correctly.

Keeps our over-weight Lab in the back of our SUV, but our more agile, skinnier large Terrier squeezes between the wire mesh and the center console. Must be careful of the barrier when starting and turning car on and off as the seats move automatically and independently of each other. Wish there wasn't a gap at the bottom and that it would "flex" when the front seats moved. Took some time to install.

We recently purchased a new Mazda CX-50 and needed to figure out how to contain our 50 lb. staffy in the cargo area. (Previously I had a 13-year-old car and only used a pet blanket on the back seat; the dog would still jump up into the front passenger seat most of the time but I didn't really care given the older vehicle.) This was one of two different barrier styles I purchased from Amazon to try out. Overall the assembly was quite simple. Because of the interior width of the vehicle, I actually didn't need to attach the two triangular side panels. You can see in the photo that it's just the main rectangular panel. There's still a little space on each side, which our dog can poke his head through, but can't fit his whole body through. I think the most important thing is getting your measurements right, especially the width between the headrests, so that you attach the vertical bars at the correct distance on the panel. Taking them off to readjust doesn't seem like it would be very easy. The barrier seems very sturdy once tightened into place. We've only used it once so far with the dog, but it did the trick to keep him contained in the back. It was his first time not being able to move around the vehicle freely like he used to, but thankfully he stayed pretty calm even though it was a fairly short drive to the vet. I'm hoping this means we can bring him along on longer road trips too. For now I'm just keeping the barrier attached even if the dog isn't in the vehicle, but it's easy enough to loosen and remove when needed. Note: As you can see in the photo, we're also using a separate cargo pet liner for additional protection of the interior.

Did not work at all for our situation. Based on the reviews I read I thought this would be a viable option to keep our very active Dalmatian puppy from jumping into the front seat but still allow him some freedom of movement. I have a 2023 Chevy Equinox and the barrier was way too short (top to bottom) to keep our dog contained. He was easily able to fit his head underneath to rest on the console (but choking himself) and there was enough room at the top that he could throw his toys over. Also, I am short and my son is tall, if your seats are not adjusted the same the barrier will be askew. I have not tried it behind the second row seats as I keep the cargo area clear for groceries, shopping etc. The product itself seems fairly sturdy and was not too difficult to assemble and install, it just did not work for us.

This seems like it’s not gonna do much or may be weak but I have strong pits and they can’t get through this. It’s sturdy because of how you put it on. It will stay put :) follow the instructions when putting it together !

We had the standard barrier that goes from the floor to the ceiling, but our dogs would get caught up on it and no matter how tight we made it, the legs would easily shift making the whole barrier fall down. We hated it! So we decided to try this barrier instead, and we're SO glad we did! First off, we're using it in a Chevy Equinox for reference. It works perfectly! We read the reviews that said the clips break easily or that it wasn't sturdy enough. We experienced none of that. Because of those reviews, we were careful with the clips, but they just snapped in place as shown on the video (watch that video if you haven't - it shows how easy the process is). Once attached to the headrests, it is solid. I thought the dogs might be able to push it down from the top, but NOPE! It's very good for keeping they back there where they belong. There is a fair amount of space on the sides - you can slip your hand through there, but it hasn't been an issue for our dogs (we have 2 labX's). I think it might be an issue for smaller dogs depending on how the angles of the barrier conform to the angles of your vehicle. All in all, we are very happy with this product and would recommend it to others, especially if you're tired of fighting with the conventional floor-to-ceiling barriers that don't stay in place, and that take up too much space because the back seat is not bold upright.

Got this for my 2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness as I was tired of my dogs tearing up the interior from letting them hang out with the back seats down. Overall fitment in the Outback as you can see in the 1st picture conforms decently with the gap between the back seat/roof. Do note that if you want to be able to drop the rear seats down without removing the bracket you will have to drop the grate down a little bit lower, at least in the Gen 6 Outbacks. Overall I gave this 4 stars, it is certainly serviceable and works as described, and given that the nicer barriers from Subaru or TravelAll are in the $250-$300 range, it seems short term to be decent value for the money. Having said that however just a few minor changes could make this into a fantastic product, even if the cost were bumped up by $10-$20. The brackets that connect to the head rest post rely on the hook clicking onto the post, but when you tighten the bolts into the brackets, the ends of the bolts do not have a threaded hole to go into, they simply tighten against the post if you have them lined up right or in my case in the 2nd picture, due to the angle they just tighten and then start hitting the other side of the hook or floating off into empty space. If the product came with two pairs of the mounting assembly so it could mount to both posts of both headrests and/or the hook bracket itself had a threaded return hole for the bolt to thread into (preferably a metal threading of course) this would allow the product to tighten much better and reliably against the posts. I have only driven a few hours with this on but it seems reasonably sturdy but we'll see how it does in the long run. I was tempted due to the low price to buy a second one so I could get another pair of head rest post mounts but for the time being I will live with it. I saw in some reviews that customers indicated the product was loose/flapped/rattled. I experienced the same thing and was very disappointed in the product, however in my rush to assemble it I didn't notice that in the instructions it points out that it includes two different length bolts for the attachment points to the rear head rests. After swapping the longer bolts I had originally used for the shorter ones, overall, it feels fairly sturdy considering it's just hanging onto the two head rest posts with the very rudimentary hook shaped bracket. I have not noticed any vibration or movement while driving so far. The installation is not hard but can be annoying if you're doing it by yourself as you need to hold the metal grates at the appropriate height while trying to attach the headrest brackets/tighten them down, but it's doable. Having said that I would probably be unhappy if I needed to remove/reinstall this product on a regular basis in order to drop the rear folding seats. Overall if you're looking for a budget orient barrier, this is a solid choice.
