  • First Impression: Well to be honest I don’t really like car rides that much… Personally, I think it’s because Dad drives too crazy but I wouldn’t tell him that. I used to sit in the far back cargo area of the hatchback. But then Mom and Dad had the great idea of driving to Washington State to visit friends and family… So they bought me this hammock so I could be closer to them and lay on the rear seat. I do like it better than the far back, but it has some design flaws. The corners by the headrests tend to fold over, exposing the seat. Dad punched some eyelets in the corers and ran a piece of elastic behind the rear seat to keep them up. Another problem is the edges next to the door get shifted around exposing the seat. Currently dad is just laying a towel under each edge, it helps with the puppy drool too. ;) There are more expensive brands that address all of these problems and more. But for $22 your not going to get better.
  • Conclusion: Has design flaws, but you get what you pay for. $22 is a great deal to test if you even like laying in a hammock. 3 out of 4 paws because even though the price is right, it could have some minor improvements.

  • First Impression: Mom and Dad have a small hatchback car. They would put me in the far back area and I would slide around on the hard plastic floor. Dad found a cargo liner tray mat specifically designed for our car. I don’t slide around as much now, and it’s easy for Dad to clean out the sand/dirt/hair from the back of the car. He can just pick up the entire mat and pull it out of the car, shake it off, and he’s done.
  • Conclusion: If your having problems with traction in the rear of your parents’ vehicle, a cargo liner may be the perfect solution. Dad bought mine on ebay from GetItCovered, but they are all about the same. Just make sure it’s for your specific vehicle, or you could be sliding around on the mat.
