Car hammocks? ** update w/ pics **

    We'll see how it holds up against Coke.  He's the one always shifting around and trying to jump over the seat.  I don't think I could have bought a plain blanket or sewn something myself for less than $20.  I used a big blanket before and it always slid down so I'm glad I have something that attaches at the top.

    I am just now seeing this, or I'd have sent you mine for free! I just gave it to friend to see how it works for her one dog. We bought the same one that you show here. With the weight of two Goldens (pre-Myrika) the attachments at front head rests would not hold (buckles kept slipping or something). We tried it in another vehicle and it still didn't work for us. So we've been storing it for a few years and just gave it away. My friend says it works great for her one large dog.

    In your photos, the attachments look the same but maybe they are not and are better. Maybe they've been redesigned.

    I know a woman with 4 Goldens who uses a hammock (don't know the brand) in her Jeep. They jump all over the place. Apparently, whatever she's using works real well.

    It came with 4 bungees, but I'm using a bunch of my own so every hole has a bungee (or two).  I can see where it would not hold with just the 4 provided.  I'll be testing it Monday since that's when we start training at the club again.

     Mine has a zipper so you can fold back part of the fabric and someone can ride in it it.  I do that and flip the seat so that the reverse is up thus preventing at least SOME hair/dirt from getting on them.  Mine's easy to install and I love it. I would make sure to get one that has the zipper, you don't think you'll need it, but it comes in very handy.

     I like that one Georgie, look so comfy!

     Oh, and get a color that hides dirt.  Just a warning ... i wish I had.  Even clean it looks stained and gross. I got mine on sale at a local store for $15.00.  I'll be getting a new one soon.

    FWIW I like the first one better it looks like the fabric goes up higher, that's something else i'll be looking into for my next one.
