Over the years I have found that the belt - even though the height is adjustable in height in most models, scrubs the neck. That's on long journeys but very uncomfortable. This Beltpad a remedy, he is gentle, does not chafe and I highly recommend him. The zipper I feel "überkandiedelt", a simple Velcro it does. No matter who drives the car, we do not want to miss him. Ever as a carrying cushion for camera bag and the like. Here's a great.
