Step 1:
Unfold the Backseat Extender
Unfold the NomadPaws™ Backseat Extender so that the mesh window is facing the front windshield. Ensure all 3 platforms are securely aligned across your back seat. Each platform should lie flat to create a stable surface.

Step 2:
Secure the Seat Anchors
Insert the attached seat anchors deep into the crevice of the rear seat cushions to secure the NomadPaws™ in place. Feel for a snug fit to confirm the anchors are properly secured — especially important for larger dogs or during bumpy rides.

Step 3:
Adjust the Headrest Straps
Fasten the headrest straps to the front and back headrests, starting from the front. Tighten each strap until the extender is firm and does not shift when nudged, but avoid over-tightening or lifting the platforms off the seat base.

Step 4:
Attach the Door Covers
Zip up the door covers on both sides. Securely fasten the lanyard by looping it through your vehicle’s rear grab handles and attaching each end to its respective loop on the covers. Make sure no straps are left hanging loose. Again, avoid overstretching or lifting the platforms.

Step 5:
Buckle Up Your Pup
If leashing your pup, open the Velcro flaps to access the rear seat belt buckles. Guide the provided seat belt leashes through the slots, attach to your dog’s harness, and buckle them in securely.

1. Machine Washing
The NomadPaws™ Backseat Extender is fully machine washable. However, due to its size and weight, make sure your washing machine can handle the load. Before washing, remove the support boards and lanyards from the door covers. Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water, and always air dry to preserve the waterproof fabric and overall structure.


2. Light Cleaning
For everyday messes, a simple wipe-down is all you need. Use a damp cloth or wet paper towel to remove surface dirt and maintain a fresh, clean look. Regular light cleaning extends the life of the material and keeps your setup road-trip ready.

3. Proper Upkeep
Routinely check and adjust the headrest straps and seat anchors to ensure everything stays secure—especially if you remove or reposition the extender frequently for passengers.

Keep zippers free from dirt and hair to avoid jamming. Apply a zipper-safe lubricant occasionally for smoother operation.

Always make sure the non-slip base remains in good condition to keep your pup steady and safe during the ride.

With a little care, your NomadPaws™ will stay in top shape and continue delivering comfort and safety—for many miles to come.
