Customer Review: Won't help in an accident...
If you're looking for a car harness that will keep your dog safe in an accident, keep looking... This harness might work to prevent your dog from bouncing around the car and possibly distracting the driver (although I'm not even confident it would hold up for that use with a big, strong dog) but I seriously doubt it would hold up even in a mild collision. The dog is held in place using a few plastic buckles/snaps which are not even very strong-looking-- I have seen stronger snaps on regular dog collars. Plastic snaps like these would not hold up to the forces created in a collision. If you want a safety harness that will protect your dog in an accident, look for one that has actually been tested/rated similar to human car safety devices.
Customer Review: Stress-free Travel with your dog
My 5 month old lab literally hangs out of the window while I'm driving, in the driver's seat! I hated driving driving without my husband in my car so he could hold her. Her crate doesn't fit in my car, so I looked for another option. This seatbelt is perfect for her! It's so easy to use and she can still stick her head and front paws out of the window and be completely secure. Now I'm not worried about her jumping out. She can comfortably lie down too. I think this is a better option than the booster seat because this pulls the dog back by the chest, not the neck. Plus, you don't attach the leash so there is no risk of strangulation.
