A dog climbing into the front while you drive is a genuine hazard, and the law in many places requires a dog to be suitably restrained in a car. A barrier net is the least intrusive way to do it: nothing is attached to the dog, it takes seconds to fit, and it comes out again when you have passengers. It is not a crash restraint, and it should not be sold as one – it is a separator.
Key Benefits
- Keeps the dog out of the footwell and off the gearstick
- Fits in seconds with no tools and comes out just as fast
- Nothing worn by the dog, so no fit or acclimatisation needed
- Storage pocket takes leads, bags and a towel
Best For
- Dogs who insist on climbing through to the front
- Drivers who occasionally carry passengers and need it removable
- Cars where a full crate will not fit
How It Works
The net hooks between the front headrests and anchors below, forming a barrier across the cabin. Mesh rather than solid panel means you keep your rear visibility, which a fabric divider costs you.
Pros and Cons
Pros: Cheap, quick and effective at the specific job of keeping a dog behind you while driving.
Cons: It is a separator, not a restraint. In a collision it will not hold a dog, and a proper crash-tested harness or crate is what does that job.
Things to Consider
- This does not restrain a dog in a collision – use a crash-tested harness or a secured crate for that
- Check the fitting works with your headrest design; some fixed headrests defeat it
- Rear visibility is preserved with mesh, but check your mirror view once fitted
- Prices, availability and shipping times are set by the AliExpress seller and can change
