That is the whole problem.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA car back seat slopes down, then stops. Between the front of that cushion and the back of your front seats there is a drop. Under braking, a dog on a sloping seat goes forward and then down into it, and owners describe what happens next the same way every single time: he ends up wedged in the footwell, and you pull over to lift him out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hammock does not fix that. It stretches fabric across the hole. A heavy dog sinks into the middle of it, or crawls underneath to climb back onto the seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rigid deck fixes it by removing the hole.
