Review: Perfect - On the day I adopted my second dog, she jumped into the front seat and put the car in reverse at a red light. We tried a couple other solutions, including attaching her harness to the belt part of the seat belt. They all ended in her becoming extremely tangled. I'm not particularly handy, but I was able to adjust and install this tether myself in about two minutes and has been a lifesaver (possibly literally). It has solved three problems: 1) It was easy to set it to the perfect length so she has some freedom in the backseat and can stick her head into the front to visit and reduce her anxiety by sniffing for a few seconds, but the bungee pulls her back when she tries to go much further so she's not just in my face while I'm driving. (And no more stoplight doggy gear changes!) 2) I had to brake HARD on the freeway last week and it did its job well in keeping her safe. I was so glad she was belted in. 3) She's a jump-out-as-soon-as-the-door-opens type of dog, so this tether gives me time to grab her leash and get my bearings before releasing her. Some bonuses: Molly is about 50 pounds and can pull hard, so this tether must be durable, because it still looks and works good as new after several months of use. Also, although my other dog has much better car behavior, the freeway incident made me realize I should be buckling in both dogs for safety. I love that I can just leave this tether installed and clip it to either of their harnesses with ease. One tiny difficulty is that sometimes the clip at the end of the tether gets a little turned and it has taken me up to a full sixty seconds to get it turned around to unclip it from the harness. But usually I can do it in about fifteen seconds. Review: Works great to safeguard your dog in the car - This product works great. I have a Mustang convertible and I strap this to my GSP’s harness to ensure he is safe with the top down. It gives him enough space to sit up or lay down. He is indifferent to it and doesn’t seem to mind it. I bought the bungee and recommend it ## Features - Secure & Simple Restraint: The Kurgo seatbelt tether keeps your dog safely secured during car rides; the bungee webbing stretches to give your pup some wiggle room - Designed for Daily Drives: Made with all steel hardware and a smooth carabiner leash clip for durability and quick, secure harness attachment in most standard vehicles - Comfort & Control: This adjustable backseat safety leash offers flexibility without compromising on pet restraint performance - Designed for Real-World Adventures: Kurgo gear is built to solve everyday challenges with dogs, making travel, walks, and outdoor play safer, easier, and more fun for both of you - Durable Gear, Lifetime Promise: Engineered for longevity and reliability, every Kurgo product is crafted with rugged materials and backed by our industry-leading lifetime warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B087L37HJK | | ASIN | B087L37HJK | | Best Sellers Rank | #14,718 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #28 in Dog Car Harnesses | | Brand Name | Kurgo | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (259) | | Date First Available | May 11, 2020 | | Dog Breed Size | Large | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00729849170711 | | Included Components | 1 Direct to Seatbelt Bungee Tether | | Item Type Name | Tether | | Item model number | PTA30-17071 | | Manufacturer | Radio Systems Corporation | | Manufacturer | Radio Systems Corporation | | Material Type | Polyester | | Pattern | Solid | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Product Dimensions | 22 x 1 x 0.5 inches; 5.93 ounces | | Size | 1 Pack | | Target Species | Dog | | UPC | 729849170711 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Lifetime | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kurgo - **Color:** Blue - **Material:** Polyester - **Pattern:** Solid - **Size:** 1 Pack ## Images ![Direct to Bungee Tether - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81tC+OfscQL.jpg) ![Direct to Bungee Tether - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mvluw8gcL.jpg) ![Direct to Bungee Tether - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xcnRM+bPL.jpg) ![Direct to Bungee Tether - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1xTQBVGX3L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: does this work for big dogs and little dogs** A: Good morning Linda: I have two Golden retrievers one is a large 115 lbs 6 year old and the other Golden is 10 month's old about 65 pounds, I use this product for both dogs. Keeps them each at a window in my midsize car. In addition, If I am only traveling with one dog I attach the zip line across the back seat so my dog can move window to window as well as lay on the back seat. I have used this product for 6 years now, I am very please with it. Hope this helps. Have a nice day! **Q: My very sneaky dog has found a way to undo the tether by stepping on the seatbelt release button. Any suggestions?** A: You may want to try using a seatbelt release cover. These covers were designed to prevent little kids from being able to push the release button while being seatbelted. They are very easy to use and available in several different styles. **Q: How wide is the seatbelt clip? does it fit a 1994 jeep seatbeat reciver?** A: The Kurgo Direct to Seatbelt Tether will work with both Type A (7/8") and Type B (1") style seat belt system. It works great in my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. We do not recommend use with Volvo. **Q: Can anyone tell me how long this is?** A: It adjusts from 15 to 22 inches long. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect *by C***N on December 28, 2021* On the day I adopted my second dog, she jumped into the front seat and put the car in reverse at a red light.
