Default Dogs in a saloon

I wondered if anyone could recommend a rear dog hammock simiar to this that fits in a 2002 WRX saloon;

PetGear by Happy Pet Rear Seat Hammock Cover: Amazon.co.uk: Pet Supplies PetGear by Happy Pet Rear Seat Hammock Cover: Amazon.co.uk: Pet Supplies

They look like a good idea, but seem to fit over rear headrests which my car doesn't have.
Is it possible to attach to somewhere else in the back?

Any alternative solutions would be appreciated .

I got a foldable dog box, fits perfect through the back doors on to the back bench and when not in use can either fold it down flat and stick in the boot or stick it in the house, its also comes in handy when your out as its light and easy to carry and can stick it on the beach for example when your out for the day so they have somewhere to lye down and rest and not cause nuisance lol, I got a spaniel and she likes to investigate everything so its handy for me

Any links for this bud? Is it ancored in?

The reason I ask is because for us, we use dog harness' with a seat belt adapter. Basically seatbelting them in. What would happen if you had a crash? Your dog would fly forward and probably be killed by the windscreen.

Sorry bud no links bought it off the web tho its a company called tested on animals, here are a few pics, it does not anchor anywhere but it sits perfect behind the 2 seats so it does not move anywhere, I have has to whack the anchors on before now due to some burk and the dog was fine, onviously moved a little in the box but nothing major

Folded flat


There are just 2 bars inside you slide in together, you pull the latch back and it slides over the 2 poles, there are 2 if these to assemble


One up


And all the sides lift up so they can see out including the top


Its a handy bit of kit to be fair
