This is an effective dog barrier. I tried the nylon mesh and other softer varieties but my dogs always immediately pushed their way through.

Pros: Contains dogs in back of car

Cons: Not particularly attactive and not padded

What more could you expect from this company. Great idea. Good quality! Keeps the seats clean and dog where you put him.

Pros: easy to install, last forever

Cons: none

I would prefer keeping the dog in a crate if you are attempting to keep your dog safe. Your dog can still be thrown around the car should you get into an accident. Also, the dog's neck can get caught between the bars if it is attempting to reach something in the rear seat.

Pros: Will keep dog in back of vehicle

Cons: Does not keep dog safe if an accident occurs

This is a great idea for large dogs. Kepps them from interferring with your driving. However, they do not fit all vehicles.

Pros: safe, durable

Cons: doesn't fit all vehicles
