MIM Safe VarioBarrier HR- Universal Car Crash Tested Cargo Barrier

The MIM Safe VarioBarrier HR is a crash tested dog car barrier designed to mount directly to your vehicle’s headrests—making it the perfect solution for SUVs, crossovers, and vehicles without cargo anchors or flat floors.

If you need a safe, flexible dog barrier for tight cargo spaces, the VarioBarrier HR provides proven protection while maximizing usable space in your vehicle.

Why This Is One of the Safest Dog Car Barriers

The VarioBarrier HR is part of one of the only crash tested dog barrier systems available, tested to ISO 27955 safety standards and approved by the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden.

It is designed to:

• Help prevent dogs from becoming a projectile in an accident
• Protect passengers from cargo during sudden stops
• Reduce driver distraction
• Work with your vehicle’s built-in safety systems

This is true safety engineering—not just separation.

Build a Complete Dog Car Safety System

The VarioBarrier HR works seamlessly with the MIM Safe Variogate to create a more secure cargo area.

• VarioBarrier HR = passenger protection
• Variogate = cargo containment

Together, they form a complete cargo management system for dogs and gear—without requiring a full crate.

Vehicle Fit and Installation Requirements

To install, your vehicle must have:
