Do the Raingler nets still allow the second row seats to recline?

I believe so. They appear to have some adjustability at their connecting points, and don't directly attach to the seats.

Looking at the 2nd row options on their site, it looks like both the full and half length barriers wouldn't interfere with the recline:

This is the single max. Fits perfectly but note the Canadian TRD’s didn’t come with the sliding trays so this fitment is not based on that set up. I think you lose a few inches but don’t quote me.

I was on the fence but saw a video on what happens without a good restraint and went with this which is crash tested so hopefully never have to test that feature but it’s peace of mind.

Thanks. Yep I have the sliding tray so I think it's about a three or four inch loss of available height. My dog is about 50 lbs So a slightly smaller one would likely be appropriate anyway. Like I said she usually rides up front with me but I still worry about her in the event of an accident no matter how defensive I drive.

*Edit* - Measured the height with the tray at about 31" of vertical space. Looks like anyone with a tray would have to downsize one and get the XXL+.

My dog is almost 80 lbs so the xxl would be fine. Another plus is if i flip the back seat down that bookends the crate I can expand it horizontally another 6 or so inches which is huge he has lots of room to move around sleep etc.

Ah ok thanks for the reference.

Yes I saw that! Definitely a neat little feature.

Canvas Cargo Liners, OEM rubber mat, collapsible bowls for water and food, doggie waste bags and a weathertech barrier and ramp because our dog has severe arthritis.

Just ran across this thread. Very useful info.

For short trips, she gets tethered to a tie down and the back window is open. The tether (metal cable) make sure she doesn't get to frisky and try to jump out the back. It also doubles a security cable when I need to lock things up.

For longer trips we feed her a bunch of Bendryl (she's a puker) and use a collapsible crate. The she has a house when we get where we are going too.

Has anybody tried this? or any hard barrier?

My dog is a 140lb great dane, still growing bigger at 18 months and I don't see the net doing the job

I found the best solution was a seat cover + a proper seatbelt system for my dog. I understand why people like letting their dogs roam free in the back, the dogs like it, it's comfortable for them etc. etc. in a collision just remember your dog will become a projectile. It does not take a high speed collision to cause serious damage to anyone/animal not secured in the vehicle

years ago I had to avoid an accident at an intersection (someone turning left, I was going straight). I was only going about 60km/h (<40mph). if my dog wasn't seat belted in I am positive she would have had serious injuries and there wasn't even a collision
