We need to be able to buckle them in. And the options seem SO limited for cats. We have tried putting their carriers (the basic hard ones you see everywhere) in the backseat and the seatbelt does not stay put.
I drove from VA to AZ with three cats. Each one had their own hard carrier, and I wouldn't use anything else. One of my friends just moved from CA to ID with three cats, and each one was in a hard carrier. I think they're safer.
see just to the left of the handle theres a little "pop up" area, you hook the seabelt OVER the carrier, clip it in and tuck the seatbelt under that. ive never had a problem with those types slipping sloose/sliding around.

Thats how I do it, that little pop up. Just slide the seat belt right through.
Take a look at the Sturdi products. I have a few. I have a Large bag for regular back and fourth to the vets. I can't keep my cats out of it - it's sooo comfy for them. I like the carrier because I can seatbelt it in the car and feel safe with them traveling short trips.
I also have one of the show shelters and it's great. There are soo many uses for it! We set it up in the back of our CRV when we brought home a kitten from several hours away - he'd already had a 14 hour flight and we wanted him to have some room and litter box. During bad weather we also took it away from home and it was good safe containment We live in a hurricane zone and I have 4 cats and I have often thought about getting another for that "just in case" because you should only put 2 in there.
Their stuff is very durable and best of all it's washable in your tub if there is an accident.

Ideas? Help!
My old Subaru Forester (still have it) does buckle up the carrier quite securely. I am not sure why yours doesn't. (Use the Petmate carrier with the door at the top (open grated at at top), not just the side. Important. Very.
