I got a doggy harnass seatbelt that is "tested" and I take it with a grain of salt. I'm assuming there's no independent agency that does pet safety tests and that the company itself tested the product lol. If it stops my pet from flying through the windshield or out a window I'll be satisfied. I've never even thought about trying to keep an unborn baby safe in a crash, guess I'll cross that road when it comes lol

There actually is! The center for pet safety is an independent organization that tests harnesses and crates.

Good thought, probably not a whole lot of money actually testing a 85 lbs dog test dummy. But I see those restraints helpful in more daily situations, keeping them locked in if I roll the window down (what of they see a little chihuahua running down the street and want to jump out and eat him?!), or if I happen to get pulled over the dogs are safely in the back seat so the cop doesn't feel threatened, or keeping the dogs in their spot while I have a kid in a carseat next to them/near them.
