Dog on back seat

[smiles657]

Hi Guys, I Have just changed from a Mk2 to a Mk3 anyway what is recommended (you yourself use) for safe and kind restraint for a Cocker Spaniel travelling very short distances on the back seat.

Flip up one side of the Magic Seats and have him (or her) on the floor, secured on the leg of the other seat!

You can buy car harnesses. These will allow the seatbelt to be slotted through a strong loop. It also means the dog can move around without strangling itself.

I'm a bit confused. Is there a reason that a mk 3 requires different cocker spaniel restraints to whatever you used in  your mk2 ? (If any  )

I am not being entirely facetious.  I understand  the magic seats arrangement in the mk 4 differs from the  mk 3 so maybe the mk3 differs from the mk2  The rear head restraints are more intrusive.  This may, or may not, make them more cocker spaniel proof. 

I had a cocker spaniel many years ago.  She got very excited at first on every car journey until she settled down.   I think short journeys require as much safety restraint as long journeys, if not more.
