Keeps big dogs in the back
This fits my Subaru Outback pretty well and keeps my German shepherd out of the front of the car. It is not distracting for driving, and I keep it installed even when my dog is not with me. If it folded in half for when you are not traveling with your dog, it would be perfect.

Better than Factory/Dealer Option in Many Ways!
This thing is awesome! Honestly, I prefer it to the far more expensive LEXUS factory version for a few reasons:1. I love the actual barrier material. It’s similar to the high UV protectant screen material used outdoors. I have (2) 90lb mastiff mixes, and this will definitely keep them secure. Additionally, it’s virtually invisible. Check out the photo I posted from the back seat looking toward the back of the car — no horizontal bars and no square wires that make your cargo space look like a dog crate. I love this feature.2. Ease of assembly, and later disassembly. The factory versions, while high quality, require quite a bit of effort to install, and they take up a lot of space to store. This barrier is super lightweight and easily breaks down into three <24” sections and folds like a brochure. I love taking my dogs with me, but sometimes I may need to use the entire space and fold down the seats. So, I plan on keeping the thin box it came in for storage. Also, there aren’t any loose parts to misplace. I love this feature too!3. Lightweight, but extremely strong. This barrier is VERY lightweight. I think the structured portion of it is airline alloy or something similar. There is zero give, and O was putting some serious pressure on it while assembling to ensure that the ends of the poles were deeply secured into the couplings. Also, the Velcro fasteners and outer edge stitching is very high quality as well. I don’t foresee any unraveling in the near future.4. Ease of installation — rather than a myriad of various loose fasteners and screws, etc., this barrier has (4) attached straps with a VERY heavy duty, spring-loaded, toothed buckle system. You can feel the quality of the metal components and the spring mechanism while installing — I was impressed. I provided some close-ups pics of the buckles. Also, the stitching connecting the straps to the barrier are reinforced, and the upper buckles have a thick, nylon protective flap designed to provide a layer of protection between your vehicle’s seat/headrest and the metal. This is a VERY thoughtful addition, and I am thankful that I don’t have to worry about it rubbing against my leather interior causing damage. The only thing I may add to make the installation even easier, is a high quality snap of some sort that I can add to the bottom straps to avoid having to thread them through the cargo rings each time I install. I have provided a pic of that as well and I’ll update after adding snaps.5. The value — this barrier is in my opinion, superior to the Lexus factory option and costs less than a 1/4.I drive a 2012 Lexus RX450h, and I love everything about my vehicle and meticulously maintain it, and am partial to only using factory-everything, except in this case.When I started shopping for this item, price was a consideration, but I was looking for something that was more aesthetically pleasing, lightweight, easy to install, and easier to store, and this barrier hit all of my shopping points with a perfect 10 across the board. What are you waiting for?

Works well in RAV4
Just installed it in a 2025 rav4. It fits perfectly behind the rear seat and in front of the cargo cover. It seems well made. And my dogs won’t be able to get around it.

Fits great
Fits perfect in my 2025 Kia sportage. I though wow it looks like I won’t be able to see out the rearview mirror but I was wrong you can see clear as can be

Great fit for 2025 Honda CR-V
Installed the 46" Bushwhacker in a 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid to separate the 2nd row seats from the cargo area. The top bar fits great against the contour of the interior roof. Note that I have no idea how well it would fit between the front seats and the 2nd row seats. We dont want a repeat of dog slobber, hair and smell in the back seats of our old CR-V. This time we intend to keep our dog in the cargo area. He seemed to tolerate it in our first time out. We'll see how well the product holds up and how long our dog puts up with being in the back of the car.

Easy to install and work well
Fits really well in our Volvo XC-90 and keep our active GSD contained in the back. Takes only a few minutes to install, but did need to be raised up a few inches using rigid foam wedges to get snug to the car roof.

Not for Grand Cherokee with child safety seats
This pet barrier looked promising. Even one review said it fit our vehicle, a 2015 Grand Cherokee, perfectly. I suppose if you have a medium size to large dog, that claim could be considered partly true.Fact of the matter is, our 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland does not have second row headrests that can be adjusted upward - they are vertically fixed . The location of the buckles on this barrier would certainly damage the leather seat backs and headrests over time, especially since they NEED to be snug to prevent movement. There just is not enough space there for the buckles without compressing the seat/headrest foam and stretching the fabric/leather.The second reason this barrier will not work for us is that the center child seat anchor is behind the flooring flap (which is vertical against the seat backs when the seats are up). The middle bar of this barrier (which is in line with the top of the seat backs) inhibits access to the center child seat anchor from the second row seat and the lower bar prevents access from the cargo area.Less important, but annoying, is the upper bar does restrict your view behind you significantly although not completely. The bar is directly in the middle of the rear window as viewed from the driver seat in MY configuration. Others may have a different view depending on their seat position. This was not a deal breaker for me, but should be considered for those with a 2011+ Grand Cherokee.Lastly, the gap on the sides between the bars and window/window pillar is approximately 4-6 inches depending on where you measure. Without modification, small dogs/cats can CERTAINLY get past this barrier in the Grand. Medium to large dogs wont get through if secured tightly.As one customer reviewed here, yes the hardware on this unit is cheap and it is clearly not a high quality $200-300 barrier. However, I believe that, in the right vehicle, it would be a great inexpensive solution for those pet owners driving 2011+ Grand Cherokees WITHOUT KID SEATS.I returned this barrier, but if it were not for having the need to move child safety seats occasionally, I would have kept it and made winglets/extensions that clamp to the sides Good concept for some vehicles and the quality is on par for the price. If you have time to try out fitment first before any real NEED to use it and the measurements of your vehicle can accept it, I would recommend this product.I give 4 stars due to low and reasonable price and good overall design for most mid to small SUVs. I only dock one star for buckle location.
