I met Paul from Over The Top many years ago at Burghley Horse Trials where he and his family had a stall.  Impressed by the quality of products they made, I thought that if I ever got a dog, he would be one of the first companies I’d call, and with that in mind, we now have one of their rear seat hammocks, to keep our cars clean, and for press cars, too.

Fitting the hammock is straight forward - simply place it on the back seat making sure the holes for the seatbelt anchors are in the correct place, and attach the adjustable straps around the front and back seat headrests to keep them in place.

The hammock is made from premium quilted cotton, which feels like it’ll never wear out, and there is a non slip waterproof backing on the base, perfect for stopping the hammock from sliding around. 

The Over The Top hammock fully covers the back seat and the back of the front seats ensuring that dog hair, dirt, mud and moisture are all kept off your seats, and it protects your car's upholstery from sharp toenails. Not only that, but an integrated side skirt protects the side of your seat when your dog is getting in and out of your vehicle too.

As the hammock fully covers over the footwells it stops your dog from falling into them, and makes a great bed for when your dog decides it is time for a nap.  The improved design now includes velcro'd seat belt anchor holes so that you can harness your dog safely in the rear seat.  

When we first rehomed Lilly she wasn’t keen on being a back seat passenger, and she would try and squeeze her way between the two front seats to see what was going on, but as the hammock creates a barrier between the two front seats she now happily just sits there, to the point we are confident to take her on longer journeys without worrying.

Being a universal fit, it measures 55" wide x 69" long (140cm x 177cm), and so far it’s been in Deux Smurf, a Nissan Navara, Kia Sportage and Muddy Madam’s Skoda Fabia.

price: £139.99
