Dog car barrier Trixie 13172 — width 1720 mm, adjustable vehicle partition

The Trixie 13172 dog car barrier is an adjustable vehicle partition designed to separate pets from the passenger area. With a width of 1720 mm, this aluminium barrier mounts to headrests and can be adapted in height and width to fit a range of vehicles including vans, box vans and minibuses. Its low deadweight and space-saving attachment allow the entire loading space to remain usable while providing a stable separation between dogs and the front seats.

Advantages

The barrier’s aluminium construction provides a lightweight yet durable solution for pet separation in vehicles. Fully adjustable width and height settings enable a tailored fit for different interior geometries, and the headrest-mounted attachment minimizes intrusion into the cargo area. Using this barrier reduces the chance of driver distraction and helps maintain an organized loading space while keeping dogs safely contained behind the partition.

Suitable for

• Transporting medium to large dogs in vans and minibuses
• Keeping pets confined to the cargo area during trips
• Maintaining driver focus by preventing animals from accessing front seats
• Commercial or private use where the entire loading space must remain available

How to use

Position the barrier across the vehicle interior at the desired location and attach it securely to the headrests following the vehicle’s seating layout.

Ensure all fastenings are tightened and the barrier is stable before placing animals in the cargo area. Regularly inspect attachment points for wear and retighten as necessary.

Usage recommendations

For comprehensive accident protection, use a certified car safety harness for individual animals in addition to the barrier. Check that the chosen installation does not interfere with airbags or vehicle safety systems and confirm compatibility with your vehicle model before use.
