The Ride Along™
The heavy-duty car hammock built for the reality of Lab and Golden life — wet fur after a swim, mud from the trail, and shedding that gets into everything. Your car stays clean. Your dog stays calm. Every drive.
Why didn't I buy this earlier?
One of the best things I've bought for my dog. The mesh window is a great idea so she can still see me, and the pockets hold her lead and water bowl. Stays in place beautifully. Remove it and I can still have passengers in the car — no hair, no dirt.

Protects and lasts
I've had this on the back seat for years now. Never wears, easy to put in the washing machine and protects the seat covers underneath. Good value.

A lifesaver
This has been a lifesaver when my dog travels in the car. She was always fearful, and this gives her security while she can still see me. Good quality — stays in place perfectly.

Keeps the seats clean
Perfect for my needs. Pet hair and dirt no longer stick to my cloth seats — they pool together for easy vacuuming. Easy to install, easy to take off. Honestly, for the price it's great material.

Built for Retrievers
Generic seat covers weren't made for a dog who's just been swimming. The Ride Along was engineered from the ground up for Labs and Goldens — the mess, the size, the shed, the drool.
Truly Waterproof
600D Oxford + TPU/PVC layer stops wet-dog seep dead. Post-swim, post-beach, post-rain — the seat underneath stays dry.
Truly Waterproof
Retrievers are people-dogs. The centre mesh means they can see you the whole drive — and you can reach through for a reassuring pat.
Truly Waterproof
Anti-slip anchors, adjustable straps and an integrated safety buckle keep it flat and your dog clipped in — no sliding, no chaos.
The Retriever Problem
The Ride Home Shouldn't Undo the Walk
Every Lab and Golden owner knows the moment: wet fur, sand, mud, and shedding hair pressed into cloth seats you'll be vacuuming for a week. Generic seat covers weren't built for a 30kg dog straight out of the surf. The Ride Along is 137×147cm of 600D Oxford with a bonded waterproof layer — engineered for retriever life, not the pretend version.
Sized and stress-tested for Labs and Goldens up to 45kg.
A Calmer Dog. A Cleaner Car. Every Single Drive.
Retriever owners tell us the same story: the dog settles the moment they climb in, they can still see their human through the mesh window, and the car looks the same at drop-off as it did leaving home. No wet-dog smell soaked into the upholstery. No hair welded into cloth seats. Just a good drive, every time.
Made for the Pack
60-Day Muddy-Paw Guarantee
Try it for 60 days. Take it to the beach, the bush, the vet. If it doesn't hold up to your Retriever's worst, we'll refund every dollar — no questions.
What Aussie Retriever Owners Say
Real reviews from real Lab and Golden families across Australia.
Why didn't I buy this earlier?
One of the best products I've bought for my dog. The mesh vent is a great idea — she can see me the whole drive. Pockets for the lead and water bowl are a nice touch. Remove it and I can still have passengers in the car without pet hair everywhere.
Protects and lasts
I've had this on the back seat for years now. Never wears, easy to put in the washing machine, and protects the seat covers underneath. Good value.
Look great, keep seats clean
Perfect for my needs. Pet hair no longer sticks to my cloth seats — it pools together for easy vacuuming. Easy install, easy off. Love the side pocket for doggy bags, and the mesh so my clingy pup can see we're still with him. Definitely recommend.
A lifesaver for my nervous girl
This has been a lifesaver when my dog travels in the car. She was always fearful, and this gives her security — plus she can still see me. I keep it permanently set up in the back seat. Comes in handy for groceries too. Good quality.
Perfect for doggies
Got this for my puppy who was quite restless sitting in the front seat. The minute I installed it he was extremely happy and very comfy — he laid down instantly. Honestly, even I would lay in it too 😅
Great for multiple dogs
Good for multiple dogs. Great protection from hair and sick if they don't travel well. Absolute must-have if you've got more than one in the back.
As good as it looks online
It's a great product. Just fitted it on my car seat and the quality is exactly what was advertised. Would buy again.
The best seat cover ever
It's amazing and the customer service was great when I had a small issue. Very fast delivery — couldn't be happier.
Stopped the car-sick mess
Easy to install and keeps the seats protected. My dog gets car sick and this stopped the mess going all over the seats and floor. Life-changing for road trips.
Best one I've used
Great — best one I've used so far. Solid material, holds its shape, and my Golden actually likes climbing in.
As good as they state
Whilst not cheap, the cover is so good. I'll probably keep it on the seat permanently — it works brilliantly as a seat protector for anything slightly dirty, not just the dog.
Just right
Perfect for my car. Fit exactly as advertised, straps stay tight, and it wipes clean in seconds after a muddy walk.
