I thought that this venue might be an appropriate place to ask a question regarding cargo covers/nets for station wagons since it has to do with safety of children in the car (and I'm posting on the Canadian site, since some American products are likely difficult to obtain in Canada).
We have a station wagon (Subaru), and it does not have any cargo net/meet cargo screen. I would think that in a higher-speed collison, the cargo net/metal screen might not provide much (any) protection. We are very careful not in load gear very high in the back cargo area (and our dog is belted in), but with dog and child, it does not leave much room for gear! Any recommendations on what we can install that is safe and where to get it? Right now, I can only think of going to a custom outfitter to have somethinig screwed into the frame.....
Thanks!
