The tether (when clipped to a proper harness) will prevent your dog being thrown forward in a sudden stop — that's its job, and that's what UK Highway Code Rule 57 requires. For dogs over 20kg, or if you regularly do long motorway drives, we'd pair this with a crash-tested harness from a brand that publishes test data. We don't make that claim here because we don't have the test data to back it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails style=\"border: 1px solid #cad5e0; border-radius: 4px; padding: 14px 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; background: #f7f9fc;\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #3a4a5c;\"\u003eDo I need to buy a separate harness?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 12px 0 0;\"\u003eYes if your dog doesn't already have one. The seat includes the seatbelt tether, not a chest harness. The tether clips onto your dog's harness — clipping it to a collar risks neck injury in a sudden stop. Any well-fitting Y-shaped chest harness works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails style=\"border: 1px solid #cad5e0; border-radius: 4px; padding: 14px 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; background: #f7f9fc;\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #3a4a5c;\"\u003eMy dog is 25kg — will the Large work?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 12px 0 0;\"\u003eHonest answer: no, probably not. 73cm wide internally is tight for a 25kg dog — they'll fit, but they won't settle, and they'll be half in, half out. Above ~20kg, we'd point you at a bootliner + harness setup instead.
