Good BarrierJul 03, 2007
By Jenn Lynn
I bought this barrier because our dog is very excitable when in the car. If left to her own accord, she would be jumping to and from the backseat to the front - which is dangerous for me as the driver. So, I saw this barrier and I thought it looked like the best one out there. I had seen all these different harnesses, but I knew Pralines wouldn't like being forced to sit still for that long.

First off - one of the reasons the barrier is getting four stars. It's a little difficult to put together. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it certainly took some time for my husband and I to attach it to the seats.

For the first month or two, it worked like a champ, but then our dog got a little sneaky and was able to jump over the barrier. After you see the barrier installed, you realize that's not an easy thing to do. But our dog has a lot of energy and jumped right in the front seat with us. I don't blame the barrier at all - it really does do what it's supposed to. And for normal, calm dogs - it would have worked fine.

I still use the barrier with Pralines - I just had to tighten it a bit more on the seats and we're back in business.

Kurgo pet barrier too flimsyOct 10, 2008
By K. Wumkes
While the main portion of the barrier is well made, it's too short and flimsy to keep my Border Collies and Golden Retreiver from jumping on top and over it. The upper netting won't stay in an upright position, partially because the two stabilizer bars holding it up broke the stitching holding them in place, so they are now useless. Get the Outward Hound version for less than ten bucks and save some money.

Works for us but installation problemsJan 06, 2009
By B. Hermann "Brady's "mom""
Once the barrier was installed, my dog respects the boundary and now sits nicely without trying to come between the front seats. However, it was a bit difficult to install. First problem was understanding what straps went where. Second problem was the upper net barrier. It came zipped on but it is not possible to get the bars in with that section in place. When I unzipped it, inserted the bars and tried to zip it back on which was very difficult, the zipper pull came off. Wanting the barrier and not wanting to send it back and wait for a replacement, I went to the hardware store and we solved the broken zipper problem by taping it together (both sides) with black Gorilla tape. So far that is working fine. But I couldn't find a place to hook the bottom straps under the seat. Since I had a car service appointment the next day, I asked them to see what they could do and they did find a place to hook it. The car is a Pontiac Vibe, a small crossover vehicle. My dog is a large Shepherd/Lab mix but he does respect boundaries so it works for him, but it might not for a more aggressive dog. The product could be improved by addressing the installation problems I encountered.

If your dog really likes the front seat this will not keep him/her out.Nov 26, 2009
By Lisa Miller
I read all of the reviews before deciding to purchase this pet barrier. After looking at everything available and comparing price this came up as my best option. The seats in my Honda Civic are relatively tall so I thought I could attach this thing a little higher on the seats and I'd be good to go. Well, I left my german sheppard in the back seat for a few minutes and I came back and she was sitting in the front seat. Even though there was only about 6 inches of clearance she managed to get over. The top part of the barrier with the window was crumpled down when I looked at it. If you have a dog who wants to be in the front seat I recommend getting one of the metal cagelike barriers for the car. It will save you a lot of time and hassle.

IMPORTANT:
The bottom of this barrier attaches under your seat with a closed plastic hook. Make sure you have a place under your seat to attach a hook before purchasing this.

It worksAug 15, 2009
By B. Nichols "SleepingTiger54"
Before I bought this, I had the "hammock-style" barrier in my back seat. It kept them from falling on the floor and was supposed to keep them contained in the back seat. My dogs quickly figured out they could jump over it and into the front seat.

So I bought this Kurgo Backseat Barrier, which is higher and sturdier. I don't understand why everyone is having such a hard time with installation. I read the directions, and it was self explanatory. I thought it was easy to install, but the clips that are used to hook under the seat aren't very big and are kind of flimsy. It still works though.

It has kept my dogs in the back seat, however, I have one energetic pup who has figured out she can put her paws on top of it and peer over. Although she hasn't jumped over it yet, I'm very sure she could.

Overall I'm happy with it. It looks good, is durable, and does the job. It's not 100% guaranteed to keep your dogs in the back seat, but it surely has cut down on their crazy back-and-forth jumping that used to drive me nuts while driving. I do think it's a little overpriced though but there's not much else out there to choose from in the way of backseat barriers, at least for sedans.
