Rear seat wedge for doggo

[D Fresh]

LOL, I could toss him in there - the BedRug should be good and he's so small that you could close the tonneau over him! But we'd need to put in a dome window for him to look out of! =D

That would be awesome!

What about a huge bean bag or a couple midsized ones. I use them a filler my screws back seat on the floor. Works well and they flatten out over the contours.

Interesting, they might give a little too much though.

Yes, lots of companies do.

I am talking about something to throw onto the top of the back seat to make it level.

Ok, I have searched quite a bit for this. Does anyone make a wedge like device, maybe hard foam, that you just toss in the back seat to level it up so the pooch has a comfortable, level and stable surface to ride on? I made a really crappy one out of wood but it is not so great.

I use this for my fridge...you might have to order more than one...

Hey, that looks pretty good and might be better than the rolled towel strategy I'm planning on!

Thanks for the link (yes, another thing to have shipped!!!).. =p

Hmmm... Need to think about that one.

We use something similar (in result). Over the years we have accumulated a number of surplus dog beds (new dogs tend to get new beds..). Most are pretty similar to a bean bag in fill material and will form fit when stuffed between the seat and seat back, filling the space pretty well.

The joint between the two bags can be a spot where one can get stuck if they slide into it under heavy breaking, etc. We do put harnesses on our dogs and lash them to the seatbelt receptacle, which won’t keep them from being able to move around, but will halt their forward motion before getting to the windshield in a really bad crash.

One day I think I will try something a little more purpose built, but that box will have to wait for a lot of other boxes on the shopping list.

Doesn't look like it solved the leveling problem... ?

I use a seat cover that I can make into a hammock. I have a couple diff brands. One in the Ranger, and one in the wife's Subie. This is one of them.

Dog Car Hammock | Back Seat Covers for Dogs (kurgo.com)

For short trips, I don't usually set it up in hammock mode, but I do usually keep at least one old towel back there because the surface is kinda slippery and the towel gives traction.

For long trips, I set it up in the hammock mode so my pup has more room to move.

He also has a seat belt that hooks into the child seat latches and the cover has passthroughts for this to work. FWIW, the buckle on the middle seat of the Ranger is a little different from the two window seats, and the buckle adapter won't work in the middle spot. So on the rare occasion that I have 2 people back there and my dog in the middle spot, my first seatbelt adapter didn't work (only had the seatbelt buckle clip). That's why I got one with the child seat latch clip.

No, you're right. But at least it looks pretty solid.

No, you're right. But at least it looks pretty solid.

Probably an easy DIY with plywood, carpet and some 2x4 cut as wedge support...

My dogs don't ride in the cab....

But I have thought about one of these out back for longer drives...

they are so freaking adorable and very photogenic lol it looks like they are posing

Maybe something under to bring the base a bit higher that way when the bags compress they get level like step stools or a wood platform

They're thinking.
