DESCRIPTION
Seat belts do not allow people to move laterally from seat to seat, or fall into the foot well; The KONG Ultimate Safety Tether helps you to secure your dog in a similar way. It’s safe
and highly adjustable for different sized dogs, and offers you the control that standard seat belt tethers do not .The KONG ULTIMATE SAFETY TETHER uses the LATCH/ISOFIX/CanFix 3 point anchor system,
which is designed for securing infant seats. There are two anchors at the base of the seat and one on the rear. These anchor points have been required in all new cars in the USA since 2002 and the EU since 2006.
Using them gives this product immense strength, and helps to keep your dog in a
seat central position to minimize side to side movement and reduce the risk of
your dog being thrust into the foot well under braking.

I found this in a store by accident and am so glad I did! The straps are thick and strong. They are also easy to adjust. The clamps are very sturdy. The hook that attaches to the harness is easy to clip on or remove but still sturdy.

Very safe for my dog but also safer for me as im no longer having to push my dog off my seat. It fits securely and quickly, either over back of seat or over headrest to rear fitting. Great dog seat tether

For the person that said using this will cause your dog to be hanged, please read. Use this tether with a dog harness and do not attach to a dog collar. I haven’t purchased this yet but I will i just a bit.

I bought this for our new puppy but decided to use on our rat terrier when I had to take him to the vet before our new puppy arrived. This is a great product and I love how safe my dogs now are. I ended up buying a second one. Product is pricey for what it is but the safety was more important than the cost.

It seems well made and sturdy. I liked the idea of several attachments to secure the dog. Unfortunately, if your dog is a chewer does not work. My boy chewed the nylon straps that are attached to the top behind the headrest within 15 minute drive to the dog park. I was hoping this would work after trying other options and was disappointed.

I love this safety restraint. It allows him to move around in the seat but also keeps him from roaming around the car. I feel relieved knowing it is connected to the same rings I would use for a child safety seat. I am confident that if we were to be involved in an accident he would be safe. It is also convenient because I can use the harness I use regularly for him.

Keeps my pups and me safe! They are able to enjoy open air without me worrying about them flying out the windows. They each stay on their own side and no one is jumping up to the front trying to vie for my attention and run us off the road! A cinch to install, I’m bummed to read it’s not universally adjustable. Great product.

Great product but wish it was a 2 point safety system.

I’ve had this seat belt for a few weeks. The one we had before just didn’t feel strong enough. The Kong latch strap system is very sturdy and keeps are 6 month old German Shepherd from sliding around in the backseat.

Love this product a lot. It was easy to setup. It keeps my dog from flying around the back seat or falling onto the floor of the car. My dog is comfortable in it and she just lays on the backseat during the car rides. I love it!

Have used this a few times now. Keeps our Springer Spaniel in place in the back seat. She can stand, sit, and lay down comfortably. Just ensure the harness used with it has good coverage so that is does not dig into the animal. (ie. not thin straps that could dig in if car stops suddenly and harness prevents dog from going forward).

I really love the idea of being able to properly secure my furry loved ones. They are well made if they only fit. But even at the smallest adjustment this doesn’t fit my car. It’s a mystery as it uses the “universal” infant car seat attachments, and should fit all cars. It’s very disappointing. I bought two and will have to find a friend with a larger car to give them to.

My service dog is kept safely in his seat with his seatbelt. I love how it anchors to the 3 points of the seat of the car. I will buy more for my other dogs, I think its worth it

we bought two of these because when we traveled with our fur babies they were always getting tangled up in the back seat, this product eliminates that issue. Great product
Reg123 (verified owner) –
I really want to love this product but it just is a little bit small and expensive… I have a small SUV and the tether to clip to the dog’s harness is just way too short. I have a standard goldendoodle and he has unable to lay down or really move at all. I will try to put a little extender and hopefully that will help.

The product itself is sturdy and strong. Very easy to hook up into my car. I have a 4 month old Akita puppy and he likes to move around in the car, which is exactly why I bought this. Downside is that the strap that connects to the harness is very short even when fully extended. It was long enough to allow my puppy to sit upright in the seat. But like I said he moves a lot so he got tangled up in the seat real quick. There’s no way for him to lie down comfortably. This seatbelt is probably best for smaller dogs.

I bought this a few weeks ago and watched a quick video on you tube to install. It was quick, easy to latch onto the car and my pups harness hooks in no problem. Car rides with my 4 month old puppy is safer. Highly recommend!

The seat restraint was strong enough to keep my golden secure and happy.

Bought two tethers for my Jeep Wrangler to keep both golden retrievers safe on the road. Both are large dog and the tether allows them to sit and laydown comfortable. Peace of mind when driving with them to places. Bonus: they were able to enjoy the opened windows securely without me worrying if they are jumping out.

I used other seatbelts but really like the safety factor with this one. Using three attachment points means this seatbelt is very secure. This seatbelt keeps your dog in place but still allows them to lay down and be comfortable for longer rides. Product is very well made.

I just purchased this tether. I absolutely love it. It’s made extremely well. Heavy duty. It keeps my boy safely on the seat. He’s not all twisted up like before with my previous tether. He can sit up or lay down comfortably. No worries in the back set. I am actually going to purchase a second one for our other car. Definitely recommend the Kong Ultimate Safety Car Seat Tether.

I love that this seatbelt connects to the three car seat anchors, so I know it’s securely in place, especially since she has managed to step on the seatbelt button and undo a seatbelt before, so the ones that connect that way wouldn’t work for her.

I have 2 Labrador Retriever’s and they both have a seat belt. It keeps them safe and they can’t bother each other now I need a seat cover that is compatible with both harnesses

I bought this for my mom’s van and it works great so I got another for my sister’s Kia and it was too long. Took a little searching but KONG suggests putting the strap over the headrest if it is too long. That’s what I did and it works in her Kia now.

I bought this shortly after adopting my rescue pupper. We were in an accident last week and because we were using this she was uninjured. Had she not been tethered, she likely would have been thrown into the seat and/or windshield. 10/10. Every dog owner should use one of these!
CutePup (verified owner) –
This is a great idea and I was excited to set it up in my car for my dog. It says it is adjustable for all vehicles and dogs, but unfortunately it cannot be adjusted for my vehicle, a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. Even adjusting the straps to their shortest setting, it is way too long to fit between my latch points in the back seat, since my top latch point is not far from the headrest.

I have tried at least 7 different seat belt options for my dogs (both large pitbull mixes) and they have learned to unbuckle themselves, or will get twisted up in the seatbelts. This keeps them secure, safe, and not distracting me while I’m driving! Seriously, if you’re considering a seatbelt for your dogs, this is it!
DaveHUK (verified owner) –
Great safety tether. Installed 2 into the back seats of our car for our 2 Schnoodles. Very easy to fix, just had to adjust the over-seat strap as the latch point on the back of the seat is at the bottom. Took me about 5 minutes for both tethers. I’m going to be much happier knowing the dogs are secure.

I purchased this a month ago for our 22 pound corgi mix. It is easy to install and use. It keeps him secure. We keep him confined to one seat and use a dog bed. You could easily make it longer to allow for a little more movement. We will purchase another for my husband’s car.
