Car Seat Belt Tether

Regular price R 50.00

A short nylon strap that loops around the car headrest and clips to a harness, so the dog stays on the seat instead of arriving in the footwell every time you brake.

What it is

  • Loops over the headrest post, no fitting or tools
  • Adjustable length, so the dog can sit, stand or lie down but not climb through to the front
  • Metal swivel clip on a nylon strap
  • Four colours
  • Pairs with the Back Seat Hammock, which stops the seat itself taking the damage

What it does not do

Clip it to a harness, never a collar. In a hard stop, a tether on a collar does serious damage to a dog's neck. If your dog does not have a harness, this is not the right product yet.

It is also a restraint, not a crash-tested safety device. It stops a dog moving around the car. It is not a seat belt in the sense that yours is, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

PS
Why this one is on the site
A short strap that keeps a dog on the seat instead of in the footwell every time you brake. We say plainly that it clips to a harness, never a collar, and that it is not a crash-tested safety device.

How do I use it?

Harness on first, then clip in.

  1. Loop the strap over the headrest post. No tools needed.
  2. Adjust the length so he can sit, stand or lie down but not climb through to the front.
  3. Clip the metal swivel clip to his harness, never to a collar.

What it does not do

Clip it to a harness, never a collar. In a hard stop, a tether on a collar does serious damage to a dog's neck. If your dog does not have a harness, this is not the right product yet.

It is a restraint, not a crash-tested safety device. It stops a dog moving around the car. It is not a seat belt in the sense that yours is.

Pairs well with

The Back Seat Hammock, which stops the seat itself taking the damage while the tether keeps him in place.

Sizing

Measure, do not guess. Where a product has sizes, the chart is in the description above, with the exact measurement each size is based on. If your animal falls between two sizes, message us before ordering rather than after.

Delivery

We ship anywhere in South Africa. Rates and timeframes are on the shipping page. Made-to-order items are produced after you order, so they take longer than the rest of the range.

Returns

Faulty or damaged is on us, including the return postage. Change of mind is covered on the returns page. Personalised items cannot be returned for change of mind, which is why we confirm the spelling and size with you in writing first.

What we do not claim

Nothing we sell treats, prevents or cures anything. These are aids, not veterinary care. Where we have not measured something ourselves, the description says so rather than repeating the supplier's word for it.

On the seat, not in the footwell

A short nylon strap that loops around the headrest and clips to his harness.

This product

Delivery

Returns

Can I clip it to his collar?

No. Always to a harness. In a hard stop, a tether on a collar can seriously damage a dog's neck.

Is it crash-tested?

No. It is a restraint that stops him moving around the car, not a crash-tested safety device.

Will it fit my car?

It loops over a headrest post, so it needs a headrest you can get the strap around.

How long does delivery take?

2 to 4 working days to most South African addresses, dispatched from Cape Town. You get a tracking number when the parcel is collected, not when the order is placed.

What if it is wrong when it arrives?

Tell us within 30 days and we will sort out a return on anything unused and in its packaging. No restocking fee. Personalised items are the exception, which is why we confirm the spelling with you first.

Are these vet recommended?

No. We will not put those words on a page without a named, consenting, registered vet who has actually reviewed the product, and we do not have one. Nothing here treats, prevents or cures anything. A distressed animal needs a vet, not a product page.
