If you've seen posts of mine before, you may have seen I like to take my little dog with me on trips and parades in the deuce (where appropriate). Such as the following:
The problem for me, or rather my dog Dusty, is that she bounces around and has a hard time staying on the passenger seat - feet sliding off of all sides - and I also didn't want her to get hurt from just some hard braking (thrown onto the floor). So I would pile a bunch of crap and blankets in the foot space in front of the passenger seat then put her dog pillow over it all. This was always a big hassle for me to load/pack and unload the deuce each time. Worse, if I wanted to get into, say, a cooler buried on the passenger side.
So here is a homemade "car seat cover" or even "hammock" made by my very awesome mother.
Double layered twill canvas from Hobby Lobby, and nylon web straps and buckles from Ace Hardware. Can't wait to get the front axle put back together and try it out!
The nylon strap is sewn to the back of the canvas. What is seen in the below pictures on the front is just extra from tightening to fit. It's got 2-pair of straps and buckles in front, back, and underneath to attach to the bar below the passenger seat (this one is key for keeping the 'hammock' in place).
