The straps annoyed me the first time I fitted it. Haven't touched them since, to be fair. We use it most days.

I thought this would become another bulky dog purchase I regretted. Instead it lives permanently in the car. He uses it, the seat is cleaner and after a cold walk he's got somewhere comfortable to settle. I changed my mind fairly quickly. We've had it a few weeks now.

She now sleeps on the way back from training.

I'll admit I initially thought it was basically an expensive cushion. After a few weeks I get it. It stays where it should and gives him something solid to lean into. It now stays in the car permanently.

No more furry head next to the gear stick 👍

After rainy walks everything is still damp, obviously. At least most of the muck is ending up on a removable cover rather than across the whole seat.

Much less faffing about on the back seat.

We were ridiculously overprepared for collecting our puppy. Towels, water, chews, spare everything. He whimpered for about five minutes, curled into the corner of the bed and slept for most of the drive home. Of all the things we packed, this ended up being the useful one. Particularly good at this time of year.

Last winter I got to the point where I dreaded taking the dog anywhere. Not because he was terrified, just because he never stopped moving. Stand up, slide on a bend, sit down, get up again. With this he's got an obvious place and something to lean against. He's still himself, but an hour of fussing has often become ten minutes followed by a nap.

My parents are nearly two hours away and that journey used to be a whole event with our dog. He never seemed to know where to put himself. On the Christmas drive he settled against the side after we joined the motorway and slept nearly until the services. I actually checked the mirror because it was suspiciously quiet.

My husband said we didn't need it. After the first longer drive he admitted, 'He was actually much quieter.' High praise in our house.

Typical January Saturday: woods, mud, drizzle, very happy dog, considerably less happy car. This has had several days like that now. He snuggles down on the way home and most of the mess ends up on the removable cover. Wash, dry, back on. Exactly what I need from dog gear. That's been our experience anyway.

Our dog comes to the office every day. Through September he was fine, then the early starts got properly chilly and he began trying to sit on my coat. Since the bed went in, he jumps onto the back seat, performs his two ceremonial circles and lies down. I've reclaimed my coat. We've had it a few weeks now.

First thought: very cosy. Second thought after a filthy woodland walk: thank goodness the cover comes off. Both features have had a proper test now.

The raised edge is the bit our girl seems to love. She rests her chin on it or leans into it on bends. Before this she'd stand up every few minutes and rearrange herself.

Had to swap the first size, but the replacement is spot on. He curls up happily after our morning walk. Otherwise very happy.

Lovely for cold days. Dropped a star only because our dog sits awkwardly between two sizes. Otherwise very happy.

Our terrier loves leaning on the side. I'd like the bolster a little firmer for his weight. We use it most days.

Five minutes down the road and he was asleep. Unheard of.

Our whippet approves, which is saying something in November. Still going well after a month.

Our old boy is lying down in the car again. Would happily buy it again.

Nice as a cosy bed, but our dog is exactly between sizes. We kept the larger one and it works, just isn't perfect. Three stars for our particular setup.

Our Jack Russell is usually still buzzing after training. Lately he's been asleep before we're halfway home. That's quite an achievement for him. It now stays in the car permanently.

Our little rescue regards any new object as deeply suspicious. I put the bed beside her normal one for nearly a week before it ever went near the car. Eventually she started choosing it herself. Once it moved onto the back seat it smelled familiar, and the difference was obvious. On cold dark morning trips she now tucks herself into the corner rather than sitting bolt upright. Still going well after a month.
