Easy to use
I am a Vet Tech, so I am able to take my dog to work with me & I take him almost every day. He is a Golden Retriever, so he sheds A LOT. My GMC Jimmy's back seat is pretty much covered with hair & it kind of smells like dog in there. Well, I recently purchased a new car & definitely do not want the back seat to be trashed like the old one is.
This cover is very easy to install. There are four adjustable straps that fit around the head rests of your seats. They have clips for easy removal & replacement. It fits pretty well in the back seat of my car, which is a 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix. It took me 10-15 minutes to hook everything up & get the straps adjusted just right. There are velcro slits that allow for access to seat belts. There is also a velcro slit at the edge of the seat which enables you to open it to allow a human passenger to sit in the back without removing the entire cover.
As for cleaning, I just run it through the washing machine, on the...
Easy to use, but smells funny
I bought this having read the other 5-star reviews, including the one that says the hammock has a "chemical or dirt" smell. Well, now that I've got the hammock, it's so incredibly easy to use and setup, I can't believe I was putting down an old blanket before. But the other reviewer was right: That chemical/dirt odor (and seriously, I couldn't have come up with a better description than dirt, myself!) is really strong. It probably will wear off eventually, but leaving it out in the sun, spraying it with Febreeze, and even washing it on the mild cycle with hot water and "fluff" drying it without heat (DO NOT TRY THIS as it tears the nylon backing!!!) have not rid it of the smell. If the smell ever goes away, I'd rate this as a 5, but for now, I'm optimistically giving it a 3. Might not be a bad idea to check the other hammocks available out there and spend a bit more money to see if you can get a non-dirt-smelling seat cover!
Excellent Low Cost Dog Cover
There are similar higher quality products on the market, but you can't get more for less than you get with this product. I have a 70 lb lab and leather seats and haven't had one problem with this hammock. Obviously, protecting your seats is best benefit, but it is also great for preventing your dog from falling behind the seats. My dog loves leaning against the hammock when sleeping on a longer ride. (Although, if your dog like to visit you up front, you might want to find another restraint, it may not hold them back depending on how persistent your dog is).
At first look, it doesn't seem like much but mine hasn't torn and my seats are in perfect condition after 6 months of continual use to and from hiking/swimming trips. Like others have said, I'm not sure how long the velcro (used to remove the "hammock" feature if needed) or the straps will last but I figure it will last long enough vs. the cost. It doesn't have a perfect fit at the upper corners near the head...
