More usable room

The Backseat Base | Hard-Bottom Dog Seat Extender
WHY A HARD-BOTTOM EXTENDER?
The footwell should not decide how much room your dog gets
Ordinary seat covers protect the upholstery, but they still leave an awkward gap behind the front seats. The Artemis Backseat is designed to turn that unused space into a flatter, more practical travel area.
A cover protects the seat
A soft hammock catches some mess, but it can sag into the footwell and leaves less usable room for your dog.
The Artemis Backseat extends it
The folding hard base spans the gap, while the surrounding cover creates a more contained space for fur, dirt and wet paws.
PRACTICAL VALUE, CLEARLY EXPLAINED
Better journeys for dogs. An easier car to live with for you.
A flatter surface
A more consistent platform gives your dog a clearer place to stand, turn and settle during everyday journeys.
Less clean-up
The surrounding cover helps keep fur, dirt and wet paws away from the seats, door cards and rear footwell.
Made for real life
Install it for dog journeys, then fold it away when passengers need the rear seats again.

NO PERMANENT INSTALLATION
From family car to dog-ready in three steps
The design uses adjustable headrest straps and folding panels, so it can be installed when you need it and removed when you do not.
Position the cover across the rear bench and secure the adjustable straps around the front and rear headrests.
Open the hard-bottom panels so they bridge the footwell and create the extended rear-seat platform.
Use the restraint openings with a suitable dog car harness or seat-belt attachment before travelling.

GOOD QUESTIONS DESERVE CLEAR ANSWERS
Before you make room for Artemis
Will it fit my car?
The Artemis Backseat is designed for cars with a rear bench plus adjustable front and rear headrests. Check the measurements shown on this page against your rear-seat space before ordering.
Is it suitable for a large dog?
The hard-bottom construction provides a flatter, more supportive platform than a fabric hammock alone and gives dogs more usable rear-seat space. Always check the product dimensions against your car and your dog’s needs before ordering.
How do I clean it?
Vacuum or brush away loose fur and dry dirt, then wipe the surface clean as needed. Allow it to dry fully before folding and storing.
Can I still use the back seat for passengers?
Yes. The extender is designed to be removable and foldable. It should be removed or reconfigured before carrying rear-seat passengers.
Does it keep my dog safe in the car?
It creates a flatter travel area and helps protect the interior, but it is not a crash-tested restraint. Always secure your dog using an appropriate vehicle harness, crate or restraint suitable for your dog and vehicle.
What is included?
Your order includes the folding hard-bottom rear-seat extender and its integrated adjustable headrest straps. Any additional accessories will be clearly listed before purchase.
