Fitted Rear Seat Covers - Dog Proofing my GTi!

[Sturdy Lad]

Any tried and tested seat covers anyone can recommend?
Got a week away planned and have to take 2 kids and the dog.

Normally it's one kid and the dog and the dog gets crated in the boot and child shares the rear seat with a couple of bags.

I've been informed that we need boot space so it's the dog inside...

Thanks

Can't recommend the Pet Rebellion ones high enough. Had them about a year now, super heavy duty and really easy to fit, with a nice rubberised back to them to stop any moisture getting to the seats. Our 2 cockers use them all the time.

If you are interested I have an unused, still in the pack custom for a 7.5, high quality rear seat cover. It’s from Rhino, is black polyester (waterproof) and has three head rest covers. Bought last year. I have now changed to a Mk8. If you’re interested. PM me and I’ll send you a picture. I’ll not be hard to pay.

Best solution to putting my dog in the car is to use the wife’s

Thanks CeeFeesh, Originally I would have gone for them but having seen the pet rebellion ones above I think they maybe better as the will fit my car and the wifes (and whatever she gets next!)
Anything to avoid driving the Toyota Auris for 400+ miles! It's a great car but its old and doesn't have much in the way of toys and, well its just not a GTI

Going to go with Sootchucker's idea I think! Shame the 10% discount doesn't apply to the sets :-(


Thanks all

No problem, it’ll stay in my garage.  The pet rebellion covers look good too.

Has the one kid been especially bad that they've not been allowed on previous trips? 

I can recommend 'Over The Top' and they'll do exactly what you want. Here's an example showing options, material and fit. The material is tough, hydrophobic and has an inert rubber base layer underneath which stops it slipping and abrading, particularly if you have leather. It vacuums and cleans up well. I was really impressed with the accuracy of the cutting pattern and fit. Normally, you're sold on a product picture and the reality never matches expectations. Not so with this in my experience.

If you do have a dog in the car, don't forget a dog harness if you don't have one already. I've got one from Ezy Dog which has been great. Expensive but it's well thought out. Had a cheap one from Pets at Home first and the dog required a mid motorway rescue as he tried to get comfortable on the seat and it got horribly twisted.

Ha ha! No the joys of one of them being a step-teenager, last time we did this trip with the dog she was at her dad's!
