WHY AREN'T THESE SAFETY HARNESSES REGULATED? IT'S PRETTY SAD WHEN YOU CAN'T KEEP YOUR PET SAFE WITHOUT TOUGH REGULATIONS!!

What they don't show is what happens to the person sitting in front of the dog, when it slams into the back of their seat. The general term used is "backseat bullet."

For the last one, Kurgo, the seat belt is supposed to go right through the carabiner, not the tether strap. As you can tell, the tether strap is what broke. That is what Kurgo reccomends

Having the dog in the back of an open bed pickup looks safer.
