what car harness?

Bailey has nearly grown out of his first car harness, which is a shock as when he first wore it we had to make it as small as poss, and the straps that were pulled tight hung on the floor lol. so we now need to get him a new one.

as he goes in the car alot we want to get him a good one, money doesnt really matter as it will be well used. Ideally we want one with padded straps and a wide chest plate part, as the one he has now seems to rub a little as it has no padding.

what do other people use?

I got Cassie the one outta PAH they were on special and they are great secure enough to keep her safe but not to tight to rub ...oh and cassie wants bailey to know the red ones look realy kool on totolate labbies...there such fashion victims lol

I just bought and RAC 2 in 1 one but have always used see here

hicraft see here (lots cheaper on ebay though)

the only reason I changed from hicraft to RAC was that hicraft is red hehehehe and I wanted black as it matches more collars pmsl Embarassed

both are fabulous and padded and very adjustable - the RAC one says its 2 in 1 dual purpose but the hicraft says dont walk them on it.

HTH

Tilly has the RAC one, but I have to admit I am not sure about the safety of it.......

Unless we are not using it correctly - which is perfectly possible - Tilly can still move around a lot?? She can move off the back seat into the footwells?? We have tightened it as much as we think we can. Is it normal to have this amount of 'freedom' when they are harnessed up??

thank you everyone. think we will go for the rac one. what size would you recommend for labs? are they very adjustable? bailey is 5 months old and 17.5kg if that helps

they go by girth measurement rather than weight or age - if you measure asll around his body just behind the frontlegs that will give you the measurement the large RAC one here is 20-30 inches which is the one Ruby is in.
