Pet Barrier?

[MadManMoon]

We have two beagles that I'd love to keep in the rear area, and they're limber enough to jump over the rear seats.  Solution: pet barrier!

 

Problem: the only custom-fit variant I found is for the European C-MAX, and I'm awaiting confirmation from @FordService on Twitter as to exactly how the US and European C-MAX differ in terms of interior dimensions and arrangements.

 

The Travall pet barrier I want can be seen here, along with pics inside a Euro C-MAX: http://www.travall.us/ford-c-max-mpv-5-door-2010-2013-pet-barrier-p1530

 

So, question is, has anyone tried this?  If not, have you found a viable alternative?

 

Thanks!

I only have one dog but he can do a leap from the back to the front all at once.  I also don't have the dog barrier that you are thinking about buying.  I decided to try a holster with a tether that hooks into the seat belt.  It works great.  Now he sits or sleeps on trips unless he wants some attention.  In that case he puts his feet on the arm rest and lays his head on my shoulder.  It's much safer for everyone especially the dog because the tether is short and the harness is padded.  It's not the best quality like you would find for people but it's the best that can be found right now.  Good luck with the method you choose.

I have something similar to C-Maxgo, but I have an older mutt who is not in the same energy realm as two busy beagles.

I bought a doggie harness safety belt attachment, too.  Also, I trained Slowpoke to stay in the back seat area.  I just bought one of those spill-proof water bowls.  Other than the newly acquired bowl, I did a trip from Miami to NH and back like this.  Never a problem.
