New Car - Hatchbag, Titan or Boot Buddy Boot Liner?

GrubbyGirl_2

I asked for recommendations on boot liners a couple of weeks ago and have been doing some research.  Having dogs I need a boot liner to keep the boot as clean as possible.  In my last car I had a Hatchbag liner which wore very well and after 6 years was in great shape.  The only problem was the fact that the velcro didn't hold well on the carpet so I still got a load of dog hairs behind the liner, though no dirt thankfully.

I was going to just buy a new Hatchbag for my new car (Volvo XC40) but looking around there are 2 others which sparked my interest.  The Titan boot liner which is very similar to the Hatchbag but about £80 cheaper.  Then there is the Boot Buddy which is a moulded plastic which, although made to fit a specific car it clearly is not a precise fit for all the contours of the car so hairs will still get between the liner and the carpet but it does look much easier to remove than the Hatchbag and Titan.

I'm keen to hear from anyone who has experience of any of these 3 liners or can advise on any others.  Any pictures would also be great.

Never used one - My dog goes on the backseat with a hammock - But I don’t think I would use a plastic one. Uncomfortable, slippy and ripe for chewing. And I’m not sure how it would stand up to the weight of a dog, depending on the size of the animal.

Our Volvo XC40 boot carpet is very velcro friendly.  The supplied first aid kit grips on exceedingly well.   

I'd go for the brand you know has worked well for the last 6 years.  Won't the old one be usable as a rough fit in the new car?  Do the hairs matter as long as the mud water etc.,. are kept off?

Good to hear that velcro works well.  Unfortunately I'm going from an Audi Q5 to a Volvo XC40 and the boot is quite a bit smaller and is deeper so the old one wont fit.  I think you're right if it holds well I may stick with what I know.  As for hairs one of my dogs is white and sheds short spikey hair constantly and it's a nightmare to get out of carpet.  I have spent a couple of hours cleaning up my Q5 of all the hairs as the vacuum doesn't pick them up!

I decided to order a boot buddy as it's easier to take out if needed.  Thanks though
