Step-by-Step Installation Instructions:

Method 1 - Seat Belt Buckle Attachment (Recommended):

1. Prepare: Ensure dog is wearing properly fitted harness with back D-ring
2. Position Dog: Place dog in back seat in desired position
3. Attach to Harness: Clip one end of seat belt to D-ring on dog's harness
4. Insert into Buckle: Thread other end through car's seat belt buckle
5. Click to Secure: Insert seat belt clip into buckle until it clicks
6. Adjust Length: Slide adjuster to set appropriate length (dog should be able to sit, lie down, but not reach front seat)
7. Test Security: Gently tug to ensure both clips are secure
8. Check Comfort: Ensure dog can move comfortably but is safely restrained

Method 2 - Headrest Attachment (Alternative):

1. Loop seat belt around headrest post
2. Clip back to itself to create anchor point
3. Attach other end to dog's harness
4. Adjust length as needed

Proper Length Adjustment:

• Dog should be able to sit, stand, and lie down comfortably
• Dog should NOT be able to reach front seats or windows
• Leave 10-15 cm of slack for natural movement
• Elastic section should not be fully stretched during normal sitting

Safety Guidelines & Best Practices:

• ⚠️ Always Use Harness: NEVER attach seat belt directly to collar - can cause neck injury. Always use harness with back D-ring
• ⚠️ Back Seat Only: Always secure dogs in back seat, never front seat with airbags
• ⚠️ Proper Fit: Ensure harness fits dog correctly before attaching seat belt
• ⚠️ Check Before Each Trip: Inspect clips, webbing, and elastic for wear or damage
• ⚠️ Supervise Initially: Monitor dog during first few trips to ensure comfort and safety
• ⚠️ Don't Leave Unattended: Never leave dog attached to seat belt when car is parked
• ⚠️ Adjust for Size: Ensure length is appropriate - too long defeats purpose, too short restricts movement
• ⚠️ One Dog Per Belt: Use separate seat belt for each dog - never share
• ⚠️ Replace if Damaged: Discontinue use if webbing frays, clips bend, or elastic loses tension
• ⚠️ Not for Puppies Under 3 Months: Wait until puppy is large enough for proper harness fit
• ⚠️ Gradual Introduction: Acclimate dog to restraint with short trips before long journeys
• ⚠️ Never Tie Out: This is a car restraint only - never use to tie dog outside vehicle

Care & Maintenance:

Regular Cleaning:

1. Wipe down with damp cloth after each use
2. Hand wash with mild soap and warm water when soiled
3. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap
4. Air dry completely before storing
5. Do not machine wash or tumble dry

Inspection Schedule:

• Before Each Trip: Quick visual check for obvious damage
• Weekly: Inspect stitching, webbing, and clips for wear
• Monthly: Test elastic tension and clip function
• Replace If: Webbing is frayed, stitching is loose, clips are bent, elastic is stretched out

Storage:

• Store in cool, dry place when not in use
• Avoid leaving in hot car - heat can degrade elastic
• Keep away from sharp objects
• Store flat or loosely coiled

Troubleshooting:

• Clips Won't Attach: Ensure using correct clip for each end, check if clips are damaged
• Too Short/Long: Adjust slider to appropriate length, ensure using adjustable model
• Dog Can Reach Front: Shorten length, reposition attachment point
• Elastic Too Loose: May be stretched out - replace seat belt
• Dog Chews Belt: Supervise more closely, use bitter spray deterrent, ensure dog has appropriate chew toys
• Clips Rotate Too Much: Normal - swivel design prevents tangling
• Won't Fit Seat Belt Buckle: Try different threading method, ensure using universal clip end

• ✗ NEVER use with collar alone: Can cause serious neck and trachea injury in sudden stop
• Recommended: Back-clip harness with sturdy D-ring

Airbag Safety:

• ✗ NEVER in front seat: Airbags can seriously injure or kill pets

• Best: Behind driver or passenger seat, center back seat

Training Tips for First-Time Use:

2. Practice attaching and detaching without car running
3. Start with very short trips (5-10 minutes)
4. Reward calm behavior with treats and praise
5. Gradually increase trip duration over 1-2 weeks
6. Bring favorite toy or blanket for comfort
7. Take breaks on long trips for water and bathroom
8. Never punish dog for anxiety - be patient and positive
