Meadowlark Dog Car Seat Cover Hammock with Mesh Window

A quilted back seat hammock with side panels for the doors and a mesh window in the middle, which zips down to a bench or semi-hammock.

Who it suits

Dogs that come back to the car wet or muddy, owners who sometimes carry a person in the back seat, and anyone who wants an affordable hammock with door flaps.

Key facts

• Side panels shield the doors; comes with headrest covers (Meadowlark)
• Can be machine washed, hosed off, or shaken out and vacuumed (Meadowlark)
• Standard and XL sizes; 1 year warranty (Meadowlark)

What reviewers say

Treeline Review: Its best overall and best affordable cover after three years of the reviewer’s own use and a test of six covers with three dogs: easy to install, sturdy seat anchors, good traction for dogs, zip-up door flaps and seat belt openings for a car harness. It notes some online reviews say the side panels do not stay up, which it did not see.

We did not test it ourselves.

Pros

• Best overall in Treeline Review’s test
• Quilted surface that is not slippery for dogs
• Hammock, semi-hammock or bench

Cons

• Some online reviewers report side panels that sag, per Treeline Review
• Covers the back seat only, not the front

Good to know

• A seat cover does not restrain your dog. Use a crash-tested car harness or a secured crate as well.
