I have two Great Dane mixes and have struggled with keeping the backseat of my car clean and hair-free. In the past, I tried the regular seat cover which did nothing for me. My dogs would pull it down or push it to the side - it did little to keep the hair and dirt away from the seat. This hammock has, so far, worked much better. It definitely stays in place and holds most of the hair. I was hoping that it would act as a barrier to keep my dogs in the backseat, but they still step over it to climb to the front. All in all, it's much better than my previous seat covers and I recommend it.
