Random dog-related question for those who have their BRZ
What does the latch that holds the rear seat in place look like? Specifically thing that actually holds the seat up while it is in the up position.
Basically I'm looking to see if a product like this: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Hammock-Seat-Cover-Eco-Friendly-Reversible-Quilted/dp/B004FVE8M6/ref=sr_1_69?ie=UTF8&qid=1337994715&sr=8-69"]Amazon.com: Pet Travel Hammock Dog Car Seat Cover-Eco-Friendly* Reversible* Quilted* Slate/Sand: Pet Supplies[/ame] Will work in the back seat since the car is too small to fit an entire dog crate in it. I know I can hook the straps on the front seat, I just want to make sure there is something in the back to hook it to as well. |

I couldn't pass up a dog question!
I don't have a BRZ, but I have the next best thing for this question: an FR-S. I'm pretty sure this is the same in both cars. The back seat is pretty small. In the photo of the back seat, you can see how close my passenger seat is to the back seat. Hopefully your dog isn't too big. The back seats are pretty deep too. I tried to show that in one of my photos. You may want to fill in the deep seats with towels or something under your doggy hammock. The photo with my bike in the back shows the upper attachment. It's under the plastic cover on the rear deck lid. I also included a closeup of it. Good luck, and let us know how it works out!

I am literally on the last couple of nights of my graduate program, and I am ready to have my life back. I have always wondered this, but what do dog owners do to protect your vehicle's upholstery? Towels? Blankets? I ask because I like cats, but Shiba Inu's have been crossing my mind left and right lately. I would love to have input from the fellas, thanks in advance.

Thanks Brett! That is as I suspected, looks like I could loop the straps around the latch and put the seats back up on top of it. Smaller dog, only about 30 pounds, so I hope she's good to go in the back seat.

you think a medium size adult would fit back there if the passenger seat was moved froward a little?

With a 5'8" person up front, I (5'7") fit in the back fine. I do have a short inseam though. Basically, it's doable in a pinch and short trips. Any tall passengers, and the answer changes to no. |

My WRX had cloth seats, so I just used towels but secured her with: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Solvit-62296-Vehicle-Safety-Harness/dp/B000MD3NOK/ref=sr_1_3?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1338038951&sr=1-3"]Amazon.com: Solvit 62296 Pet Vehicle Safety Harness, Large: Pet Supplies[/ame] Both to keep her from being flung around during and to protect her in an accident. For the BRZ, I will probably be folding the back seats down and using towels + harness again. She's going to be bummed that there's no back windows to roll down. |
