The people over at Bark Buckle UP have gotten together with Edmunds.com to sort out a list of cars featuring safety mechanisms and designs that are best suited for pet owners. Every time we ourselves get behind the wheel we put ourselves at risk, and so we look for safety features in the cars we drive for ourselves—why not also for our furry friends as well?
The list in short: Dodge Journey, Ford Flex, GMC Arcadia, Hyndai Tucson, Jeep Liberty, Kia Borrego, Mazda 5, Mitsubishi Outlander, Subaru Tribeca, Volvo XC70.
Safety features examined in some include better storage space to keep clutter to a minimum, airbag position and disposition, backup cameras to prevent pets from being accidentally run over, and in the case of the Volvo, a dealer installable “pet barrier” system.
