Question 1

Does this work if a driver seat and the passenger seat are not lined up due to driver's seat pull forward for a short driver?

Accepted Answer

Yes it will work.  The two seats do not need to be in a line.  First attach the barrier to the head rest.  Then adjust the seats to where you want them and then attach the stabilizing straps at the bottom of the barrier to lower seats.

Question 2

Can this be used behind the 2nd row? I plan to have an infant in the 2nd row. I want to keep my dog in the cargo area of my suv (lexus rx300),.

Accepted Answer

It would really depend on your vehicle. I just measured mine and it's about 31 inches in height. You will need about 45 1/2 inches width clearance for the top portion of the screen and 54 inches at widest point (which is at the middle horizontal bar). I have a 1999 Dodge Durango. I could probably fit it behind my second row seat. But, that is only because I have the third row seat option. I could have the third seat folded down. But the flap that lays to cover the opening between the cargo and the back of the seat would need to be folded up to allow the screen to fit height-wise. I love mine! But, I needed one that went behind the driver's seat to keep my retrievers from trying to crawl in my lap as I was driving. They ride in the second row seat with a hammock in place.

Question 3

Will this fit behind the very back seats of an SUV (in cargo area) instead of just behind the driver's seat?

Accepted Answer

It is curved forward and has securing straps that wrap around the head rest and outer side of seat to secure it.  I used it in a GMC Yukon XL and there was some room at the top and down the sides so with some coaxing would work in smaller SUV.  As long as you have something to attach the top and side to it should work.  I made a 3000 mile trip with 3 german shepherds and 1 lab and despite trying to come over or around it stayed in place.

Question 4

Can anyone tell me the length of the barrier? I know it's 56 inches wide, but can't find any mention of the length. I'm hoping to use it in a 2005 Ford Excursion. Thanks!

Accepted Answer

I have one for my crown Vic and it is about 31" top to bottom, 56" wide at the bottom and it narrows down to about 41" wide at the top. I know it was designed for the grand marquis and crown Vic but I'm not sure about the Excursion. Good luck.
