Even while mashing the canyons and back roads she stays put. She doesn't like the twisties but at least she's not being thrown all over. No front seat, airbags will kill her.

Awesome, that is exactly what I am looking for. Also, the Fit has the "enhanced" airbags and with the right amount of weight on the front seat the "AIRBAG OFF" light is lit up, don't let her on the seat unless the light is on. My other cars, the MR2, you can turn off the airbag w/ the ignition key in the glovebox and my Mini.. Well it hasn't heard of airbags but is of course dangerous for other reasons. Gonna be rolling around in the mini today.

Thanks for the tip - have to check that out.

We have three cats as well as the one dog, so we just ended up buying a Bissel steam cleaner. Gets hairs you can't even see.

The vac we have has a "turbo brush." It's just like the roller brush that is on the main vacuum, but hand held and it gets 99% of my basset's hair out of the back seat of the car because the brush actually grabs the hair and pulls it out (the hair weaves itself into the cloth and is a PITA).
