In less than a month my 5 year old will be riding in 2 SUVS daily. She is riding in a Frontier 90. My concerns are the cargo area. There is no current barrier. I can get MIL and DH who will independently be driving her to put their cell phones and water in the locking center consul in their cars but DH currently works with tools and stores them in the back. We are talking long handled pruning shears. What can I do here? This is what he needs to go to work daily and storing them at work is not really an option. He hasn't so far been willing to store them for his own safety. Would a pet barrier help? It is a 2003 Ford Explorer. Our dog will ride along at times in the cargo area. This is going to be a 40 mile trip on the highway twice daily with DH every day. I do not think I will be able to get anything installed in MIL's car but what do you recommend I suggest?
