Abstract
An invention made from three fabric covered panels for supporting and protecting pets and cargo in the back seat of an automobile. Bottom and front rigid panels fold into an "L" shape by the inclusion of a fold line in a single rigid material enclosed in a fabric pouch. The bottom and front panels extend over and close off the lower floor compartment and front seat opening, therefore, preventing the pet or cargo from falling forward into these areas of the automobile. Continuous fabric straps attach to and extend from the fabric pouch providing structural integrity to the invention in its installed position by securing to specific attachment points of the automobile. The bottom and front rigid panel also have a removable rigid material for cleaning of the fabric portion.
