Does it's job

The one thing I don't like is that it doesn't have a swivel anchor to the pup, so it will get twisted during a trip, which means it gets shorter and shorter as the trip goes on. I do like that it hooks to the seatbelt spot since he is heavy enough to trigger being a "passenger" and it turns the airbag warning off. Keeps him safe if I need to stop short and he can't hop out of the window after crazy squirrels!

This strap clicks right into your seat belt and achieves pet safety when paired with a decent harness. However i found that our large dog gets uncomfortable on longer rides because it restricts movement. Hard to fault that but pets cant understand why they aren't allowed to move around a vehicle! Use it with this in mind

Thank you for this review, Joshua! We're sorry to hear your pup had difficulty with the tether on longer trips- it may help to work her up to them slowly, providing high value treats and praise once she's been comfortable and calmer on shorter trips. If you ever have any questions about other restraint options that may also work well for her, please get in touch with us! Our team can be reached here- https://www.kurgo.com/contact-us Our phone hours are Monday through Friday 8 A.M.- 7 P.M. EST, and our chat hours are Monday through Friday 9 A.M. – 9 P.M. EST and Saturday 9 A.M. – 6 P.M. EST.

Functions as it should. Clicked in easy to both end seats, couldn’t get it to fit in the middle seat. Has enough length for my dog to be comfortable and safe.

I had purchased this seat belt for my dog, Daisy, Summer of 2024 from a pet store in Jackson Hole, WY. February of 2025, I partially rolled my car due to icy roads in WA. Daisy had her harness and seat belt on in the backseat. She was completely okay. Daisy is a border collie, Australian shepherd mix and she weighs 45 pounds, for reference. I cannot recommend this product enough! Accidents on the road can happen fast, wear your seat belt and get your pet a seat belt too.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, Gracie. We cannot image how scary that must have been for you and Daisy. We are so happy to hear you are both okay and our tether played a part in keeping Daisy safe! We greatly appreciate your feedback.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, Gracie. We're so sorry that you and Daisy had this experience, but it's wonderful to know you're both safe. We did want to mention that even if Daisy was wearing a harness of a different brand at the time of this accident, we do have a harness replacement program for accidents like this and we would love to get Daisy set up with a new car harness. You can find out how to apply with our Safe Again program here- https://www.kurgo.com/safe-again-program

It's just a little short, and I'm working on fixing it for my pupper. But it's well made like all their products and it really does keep my furball from putting her muddy paws on the front seat.

Decent but Misleading

So an actual seatbelt for a car is, you know, so you don’t fly out the car in the event of sudden breaks or crashes. So when I saw this— in person— and read the actual packaging, I was lead to believe that this was a safety item for the dog. And turns out, now that I came across it again, that it is not a safety item for the dog. I can train my dog to not bother me in the car, but I cannot train them to survive a car accident, and that is what I was lead to believe this product was as on no part of the packaging did it say it was not crash tested. And on that note, that makes this pretty useless. I want my dog to not die. That’s why I got this, and this company is using that sentiment to be misleading in their advertising. It does keep the dog where I put them, but they would do that anyway, and I got this so they would be safe. But apparently they’re not safe when using this.

We're so sorry for any misunderstanding about this tether! As stated in all product information about this tether, it is intended to prevent distracted driving. It does, however, also provide increased safety for your dog by keeping them stationary. Though this is by nature a safer option than having your dog untethered, if you are wanting a crash tested option we absolutely have those available. These can be seen here- https://www.kurgo.com/harnesses/impact-dog-car-harness https://www.kurgo.com/harnesses/enhanced-strength-dog-car-harness

One of the best things about this, is that it stops the seatbelt chime from dinging when your furry friend is sitting in the front seat. It's also perfect for keeping them out of your lap and from trying to climb out a window. For such a low price, I plan to put one in every car.

Purchased this to bring my sons dogs safely to my place an hour away. Chewed thru belt first day and ruined seatbelt hookup too. Might be great for smaller dogs.
1 reply from Kurgo® team - 1 year ago
We're sorry to see your pup damaged their tether! Though this tether is certainly suitable for both large and small dogs, any size dog can chew through a tether very quickly. We do recommend only using a tether with your dog once you are sure they can ride comfortably in the seat without chewing, or in situations where they can be directly supervised by a passenger and any chewing attempts immediately redirected. We're so sorry for any misunderstanding. Please know that we do have a discounted replacement option for chewed items; as dog owners ourselves we can certainly understand that these things happen! So that we can help with this, please reach out to our Customer Care team. They can be contacted here- https://www.kurgo.com/contact-us Our phone hours are Monday through Friday 8 A.M.- 7 P.M. EST, and our chat hours are Monday through Saturday 9 A.M. – 9 P.M. EST.

I use it regularly with my medium mixed breed to keep her in the car for a minute while I step out with the door open, or to tether her in on long trips. Used with a good harness, it helps keep my pal safe on long drives.

Great safety tool!

My front passenger window won't lock - and I gave up on making my youngest dog sit out back - so this has become a priceless safety tool. It lets her open the window all the way and stick her head out without me having to hold her leash to hold her back. Plus when I open my trunk, she can't sneak out that way...and bonus it keeps her from going to the back seat and bothering her two 12 yr old brothers! I took off a star because I do wish it was a bit longer. As it is I have to remember to bring her harness or she can't quite get her head out the window when connected to the collar, other than that it's a great product. THe other improvement would be to add a swivel or some way to prevent it from twisting. My girl likes to walk around in circles and it gets pretty twisted. It can make it really difficult to release her after a road trip so now I make a habit to unclip and untangle periodically through longer road trips.

This does the job and is very easy to use. If you have a large dog, though, you'll need something longer. It works well for my ~50lb dog but it can't reach my ~80lb dog's harness.

This worked well at first, until the dog decided to chew it up on a road trip. The dog made short work of it, I had hoped it would hold up better if chewed.

I have a very small car, and struggle to find crash tested kennels that fit in my tiny trunk, HOWEVER, I stumbled across Kurgos seatbelt attachment and fell instantly in love, not only do I have to worry if my dogs are safe in my car or not, but its an easy clip on to their car harnesses, even though I would not choose this product over a crash tested kennel, it is AMAZING for those dog owners who struggle to find said kennel for their tiny cars. HIGHLY recommend.
