Depends on the dog's temperament August 20, 2010
joeflies (San Francisco, CA USA)
Overall this is a solid product, with straps that are secure, with padding and a solid set of "clicks" to it. The harness slips over the dog's head, and there is a second piece that attaches to the seat belt.
For a small dog (mine is 8 lbs) it still fits well, but I think that it depends on the dog's temperament. My dog doesn't mind sitting down and she's content to pass the time away in the car without moving around much. It provides the restraint for safety without acting as a constraint.
With that said, if your dog is restless, like my friend's yorkie, there is a lot of leeway in the seatbelt attachment so if the dog tends to jump around, it could lead to the dog falling off the seat or getting wrapped up. It probably won't hurt the dog but it can cause a distraction, which is exactly what you don't want while driving.
My primary quibble about the device is that the seatbelt attachment isn't adjustable, so there's not really a way to bring it in closer to the seat. With that said, I still think it's probably one of the better restraint systems available in this size, and I feel more comfortable using this device than using my dog's travel kennel.
Recommended, but it how it works for you sort of depends on what kind of personality your dog has.
 Excellent Product July 22, 2010

I have two Jack Russell Terriers and before i bought this protective gear my SUV's rear seat was a mess, always full of hair. Now my dogs can enjoy the ride with much more comfort and I can enjoy an always clean seat.
 Not a very good product July 13, 2010
xenofan (Kansas, USA)
I brought this in order to keep our one year old maltese/dachshund mix puppy safe whilst travelling in the car.
I was not very impressed with the product when it arrived. There were no instructions or any indication (not even a picture) to show how the harness was supposed to fit the dog, nor how the straps could be adjusted. My husband and I managed to figure it out reasonably quickly, but it was a bit of a pain trying to get the thing on a squirmy dog for the first time. Instructions would have helped so at least we would have known what we were doing. Having never brought a car harness before, we were equally unsure as to how the harness was meant to secure in the car. We were able to quickly figure out how it attaches, but again, instructions would have been nice to save time and the stress of having an excited dog leaping around whilst we try to restrain her (in the end, we detached the leash part from the harness, fixed the leash to the seat belt, then attached the leash to the harness once certain everything was secure).
The product itself seemed to be well made, although I was concerned by its weight. My little dog is only about 15lb, and this harness seemed a bit bulky and heavy for her to be wearing. Still, the harness felt secure (after minor adjustment to fit my dog's size) and although it seemed a little weighty, my dog tolerated it fairly well. Most of the weight seems to be the fault of the metal fastenings, which were a lot larger than I expected to find on a harness intended for small breeds.
The reason I am giving this product only one star is because it did not serve the purpose I brought it for --- keeping my dog secure on the back seat of the car whilst traveling.
After only ten minutes wearing this harness whilst traveling in the car, my dog managed to jump onto the floor (and, if she can jump down, then she can also fall down if the car were to come to a sudden halt). Unfortunately, once on the floor, the harness became extremely tight and might well have cut into her and caused injury. In addition, once she had climbed onto the floor, the harness was so tight that she could not climb back onto the seat. Gladly I was accompanying my husband at the time and was able to release my dog immediately, but had this happened without me there to release her, it could have proven to be be a very distressing/potentially harmful situation. Unfortunately, this problem could not have been avoided by shortening the length of the leash attachment, as it was already at its shortest setting.
 Not suitable for 6 lbs./small dogs May 22, 2010

I bought 2 of these - one for my small 15 lbs. dog, and one for my other small dog, a regular sized Chihuahua male that weighs around 7 pounds. The harness worked great for the larger of the two dogs because he had a bigger girth than the Chihuahua, and because his neck was larger. Although the manufacture claims it's appropriate for a 6 lbs. dog, I strongly don't think it's appropriate for dogs smaller than 10 lbs. or that have a neck size of less than 10 inches after my Chihuahua slipped out and slammed into the back of the driver seat in my car while I was driving. I wished Solvit made an XS size because their size small is too big for small dogs weighing 6 pounds or more.
On a side note, Amazon's return policy is awesome.
Great harness May 10, 2010

This harness works great. I use it with the dog car seat I got for my little 10 lb. dog and my little dog just loves it. She is up high enough so that she can see everything; she has her own little comfortable seat, and most importantly she is perfectly safe.
