I have 2 of the crates in the back seat, and with the seatbelts fully extended have managed to secure the crates. The third crate is in the back section of my CRV, and I have secured it using straps attached to the metal attachment things on the floor of the back section. I bought the straps from Campmor - they are used for backpacking, and you can buy different lengths.Coco's mom said:This is what I was thinking when I bought a small, soft-sided zipper crate for each of my cavs in the car: If I were to have a bad car accident with them in my car, the softsided crates might not hurt them as much as a hard crate. If I were to be injured and taken away by ambulance, my pups would be safely in crates that are easy to remove to safety.
That's so true. I just bought a soft sided crate for Coco that will be easier to take along with us to family's house during the holidays. However, for travelling, I've been using a seatbelt harness on Coco. Cathy, are soft sided crates supposed to be belted in the car?
