Can you use this in a front bucket seat? She likes to be up front with me, but I don't want her on my lap which is where she like to be.

I believe you could, but I prefer the safety of the back seat so there is no trying to climb over to me, the driver. You can adjust it short enough to allow only enough room to be in a sitting or lying position on the bucket seat. Again, I would be more concerned about the safety should an airbag deploy, too. That could be very harmful to a dog and the back seat would just be much safer all around - in my opinion.

They sell a short strap that connects the harness to the seatbelt--but I would think the reality is she could still stretch over to the driver's seat particularly in a small car or pickup cab.

Yes it can go in the front, but if your dog is anything like mine, you'll probably want to combine this with a booster seat. My dog used to sit on my lap too, and I was always so paranoid she would get hurt, but she would whine and try to jump on my lap whenever I put her in the passenger seat, which wasn't safe either. So I got a harnesses and a booster seat and now she's content to sit in the passenger seat, as long as I still pet her. Definitely make sure you can turn the airbag off.

You can use it up front, but the seatbelt might be long enough for her to try and get into your lap anyway.Maybe you can buckle the seatbelt and see how far it comes over to the driver's side. if it reaches all the way, she'll be able to move that far.

Leslie,I normally keep my dog in the back seat of my car, but on occasion (he always prefers the front seat) I will let him sit up front with me. I just attach the leash or a rope around the passengers seat with enough slack and attach the clasp or other end of rope to the loop on the back of his harness. I allow enough slack for him to move about - somewhat, but not enough so that if I slammed on the brakes he would hit the dash or window.I hope this helps. Best regards,Jeff Turner

yes you can! i have an auto zip line with leash and my dog travels like this in the middle of the two front seats, i put a good cushion between my seats and my co-pilot is ready...very cool!!!

Not clear what you mean. If you are asking if it will attach to the front seat [backs] to confine the dog in the back seat, it probably would not work if you have bucket seats. Both bucket seats would have to be set at the same distance from the back seat, and a small dog could probably get get under it unless it has a middle console. I have it in a Chrysler Town & Country, installed on the middle row of seats with the back seat down so Amber has that whole space to move around. I also have the waterproof floor cover in place to protect the carpet. It is ideal for my situation. She loves riding in the car now. Not clear what you mean.

As far as I can tell, the answer is basically no, not while someone is sitting on the commode seat. The seat itself must be raised in order to remove the bucket. A seated person has space between the legs in front and in the back that would permit reaching down for washing but only if they are quite thin in the hips and thighs.

No way. The straps are too long. Plus the seat in the basket is too weak. If your dog s a chewer, don't buy this. Fred chewed through the front strap in a panic (there is nothing but air between the basket and the seat of the car putting a tremendous amount of stress on the straps). Without the front strap, the car seat is useless even using only the seatbelt.

I don't think it would be appropriate because the seat isn't rear facing capable. (Or at least mine isn't, but I have had it over a year so that may have changed). That would be my only concern for you. Otherwise the seat is wonderful, just make sure your child is able to be front facing if the seat only goes that way.

I don't see why not. (I"m assuming you're referring to a middle row seat as it isn't safe to have a carseat/child ride in the front.)We have two Radians in the middle row of our minivan. They're like captain seats instead of bench seating.

Yes! The car seat can go in the front or back position. We usually have the car seat in the back (closest to us) and my preschooler sits in the front. We have been really happy with this purchase and strongly recommend it!

I don't believe this will work in the front seat, as it attaches much like a car seat, additionally for the safety of your pet, and according to videos by Click It, etc. the back seat is highly recommended. If your going to have your dog ride in front, might as well not by the harness, to be honest. You will likely need a large for the breed and weight you mentioned , but I would reference the measurements to determine size on their website to be accurate.

it will allow your seats to move if you have an entire row connected.....not if you have bucket seats.....it's only connected to the headrests so moving a row back and forth isn't a problem at all...it's easy to take off and on.....and doesn't rattle....it really works well...I have 3 large dogs and it keeps them in place.

My 9 pound Yorkie fits in it with room to spare. I would not go more than 18-20 pounds in this seat. Brookstone did offer a double for the backseat when I bought this one. Only the regular small (not console) will fit in a bucket seat. One thing - if your dog is active in the seat, the side walls are a bit wobbly when he stands on it.

Yes, I put in the front seat when I use it the car. She also uses it as her bed.

She may be able to get over the top because the netting will only go to the top of the head rest. If she can get around the side of the seats the netting will not stop her.

No - the bucket seats are deeper and the console portion of the seat would not work very well.

I never tried that but I don't think a car seat will fit in the front. Only the back seat reclines. You also may not find it as sturdy as you would like for it to be. It was okay for us (2 toddlers) but it did not receive a lot of heavy use. There are others much easier to steer. Consider the city select.

Yes, that can happen however I have found that safety pinning the strap to the seat belt has reduced some of her range of motion and keeps her a bit more settled into the spot where she should be. Now and then I still have to get her untwisted, however much less now with the strap pinned down.

i suggest mounting in backseat. i like having my 5.5 lb min pin in the front - but concerned about air bags deploying even with her buckled in -- not risking it.. i say move the dog and seat to backseat.. mine loves it because it actually sits up higher than the front seat. :)

I put a soft bath towel in the bottom of the seat for my 4 1/2 lb Yorkie. You do have to adjust the seat after you get it hung on the headrest and strapped around the bottom of the seat so it doesn't sit at an angle. I leave it hanging on the back of the driver's seat so it doesn't fold up. I absolutely love it and it makes traveling with Prissy Lou so much better. She doesn't pant or pace anymore on car rides.
