16-hour road trip with 2 dalmatians and NO hair on my seats!
I needed more protection for my seats than a towel was offering so I gave this cover by URPOWER a go for a recent 16-hour road trip with my two dalmatians (lots of white hair + black cloth seats = not a good match). The fit was perfect for our Toyota Tundra, but it would easily fit into a smaller vehicle as well.
- Installation was very simple. Plastic clips (like the kind on a dog collar) hold together each of the four bands that go on the backseat headrests and the front seat headrests. The sides can be zippered up or down for extra protection. I opted to leave one side zipped the entire time and opened/closed one side when the dogs needed to take care of business. The middle can also be zipped up or down to restrict or allow access to the front. I chose zipped up since my 60-pound baby thinks she's a lap dog. :)
- Dogs were very comfortable. The fabric is soft on the side that the dogs lay on. I also included a blanket in the back so they could cuddle. They went right to sleep.
- Protected the backseat like a champ! This cover combined with the extra precautions I took (see tips below) prevented 99% of hair in my truck.
TIPS:
- Lay a towel underneath the cover on the seat where the dogs will be going in and out of your vehicle. The flap gets jostled so having the towel down prevented any hair from rubbing off onto the seat as my dogs jumped in and out.
- Open up a large garbage bag and cut holes to stick the seatbelt fasteners through (assuming you are securing your dogs in using a Vastar 2 Packs Adjustable Pet Dog Cat Car Seat Belt Safety Leads Vehicle Seatbelt Harness, Made from Nylon Fabric). Before putting the cover on your backseat, pull the seatbelt fasteners through the holes. Then install the cover. Then open the rear velcro seam and pull the seatbelt fasteners through. This ensures no hair escapes onto the seat if your dog/s move and open up the velcro seam.
- If you have big dogs who like to sit up and watch all the action on the road, place grocery bag over your rear headrests to protect them from hair.
