 Easy to use, but smells funny Feb 14, 2007
By Bill
I bought this having read the other 5-star reviews, including the one that says the hammock has a "chemical or dirt" smell. Well, now that I've got the hammock, it's so incredibly easy to use and setup, I can't believe I was putting down an old blanket before. But the other reviewer was right: That chemical/dirt odor (and seriously, I couldn't have come up with a better description than dirt, myself!) is really strong. It probably will wear off eventually, but leaving it out in the sun, spraying it with Febreeze, and even washing it on the mild cycle with hot water and "fluff" drying it without heat (DO NOT TRY THIS as it tears the nylon backing!!!) have not rid it of the smell. If the smell ever goes away, I'd rate this as a 5, but for now, I'm optimistically giving it a 3. Might not be a bad idea to check the other hammocks available out there and spend a bit more money to see if you can get a non-dirt-smelling seat cover!

Easy to use Sep 19, 2008
By Peekablue
I am a Vet Tech, so I am able to take my dog to work with me & I take him almost every day. He is a Golden Retriever, so he sheds A LOT. My GMC Jimmy's back seat is pretty much covered with hair & it kind of smells like dog in there. Well, I recently purchased a new car & definitely do not want the back seat to be trashed like the old one is.
This cover is very easy to install. There are four adjustable straps that fit around the head rests of your seats. They have clips for easy removal & replacement. It fits pretty well in the back seat of my car, which is a 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix. It took me 10-15 minutes to hook everything up & get the straps adjusted just right. There are velcro slits that allow for access to seat belts. There is also a velcro slit at the edge of the seat which enables you to open it to allow a human passenger to sit in the back without removing the entire cover.
As for cleaning, I just run it through the washing machine, on the gentle cycle, & hang it to dry over my shower curtain. I think the instructions say not to put it in a washing machine but I have not had any problems, so far (after about 5 months of use).
My dog looked at it a little funny when he first saw it but he jumped right in & seems to ride comfortably, if not more so, since he doesn't fall off the seat when I have to hit the breaks.
The down sides:
It doesn't "grab" the dog hair, so the hair is free to just float around in the car.
The part that comes across the back of my front seats & acts as a barrier does not stay taught, so my dog could easily come up front if he wanted to. Fortunately, I have him trained to stay in the back. Also, it's still a good idea to use a seat belt harness with this product.

 Let's Go For a Ride in the Car! Feb 08, 2008
By Johanna Humbert
After getting at new car at Christmas, I just had to find something to keep the backseat decent. My two Briards (80 and 70 lbs.) sit together in the backseat of the Forester (used to be a Golf, this is spacious!).
The hammock hangs easily between the seats from the headrests. It only took a few minutes to put it in. Now the dogs ride comfortably and their muddy paws stay where they belong.
I was concerned when I first saw it that the velcro would rip open from the weight of the dogs, but that has not happened in nearly two months of use.
All in all, this hammock has made it possible for the dogs to have more frequent rides in the car -- isn't that the best news?!

Excellent Low Cost Dog Cover Dec 16, 2008
By PghGirl
There are similar higher quality products on the market, but you can't get more for less than you get with this product. I have a 70 lb lab and leather seats and haven't had one problem with this hammock. Obviously, protecting your seats is best benefit, but it is also great for preventing your dog from falling behind the seats. My dog loves leaning against the hammock when sleeping on a longer ride. (Although, if your dog like to visit you up front, you might want to find another restraint, it may not hold them back depending on how persistent your dog is).
At first look, it doesn't seem like much but mine hasn't torn and my seats are in perfect condition after 6 months of continual use to and from hiking/swimming trips. Like others have said, I'm not sure how long the velcro (used to remove the "hammock" feature if needed) or the straps will last but I figure it will last long enough vs. the cost. It doesn't have a perfect fit at the upper corners near the head rests, but since the dog doesn't paw there, it doesn't matter to me.
If you care that it "looks nice" as well as be functional, this isn't for you, but if you want a good low cost cover that protects your seats - I highly recommend it.
Another added benefit - It's great for hiding personal belongings behind the driver/passenger seats.
UPDATE 11/9/2011
The velcro just tore on my cover about a month ago - so this cover lasted just about 3 years after constant use. I actually think it may have lasted longer if I didn't happen to have bucket seats. If I had a bench seat, my dog probably wouldn't have pulled at the velcro as much when he was walking around.
For the price, this still is an excellent deal in my opinion. I will definitely be buying another one.

Helping out our dog Jun 16, 2009
By T. Gaston
Our dog is a large greyhound, and this is what I've found.
Pluses of the hammock
1. adjustable
2. keeps the dog on and in the back seat area
3. protects the seats
4. fairly fast to install
drawbacks
1. material is a bit rough (tarp like), so we cover it with a blanket
2. dog can occasionally unsnap a seat restraint (there are 4 to keep it in place)
