The Original Backseat Bivy

48" wide, this durable hammock spans the width of your car and bridges that awkward gap between the seats, to maximize the sleeping space in your vehicle.

Constructed from 600D polyester and collapsible tent poles, the Bivy secures to the front seat headrests via length-adjustable straps, and securely clicks onto the rear seat safety hooks to keep you in the same position all night long (gone are the times when you wake up with your face lower than your feet.)

Whether you're on a week long road trip or have a big weekend in the mountains, losing sleep can lead to low-performance, bad decision making and arguments with your partner. The Backseat Bivy helps you to sleep well, so you can adventure hard (and not get dumped).

Perfect your setup, no matter what car you have. No more stuffing blankets in that stupid gap, and no DIY required.

If you are worried about whether the bivy works for you, check out our Q & A below or compatibility flow chart. In the rare event the Backseat Bivy doesn't work for your vehicle we offer free returns for a full refund if returned within 30 days of receipt, and must be returned in new condition with all packaging.

My first trip with my Bivy

I ordered this to accommodate for seeping in the back of my Subaru for an upcoming Colorado trip. I was so happy that it showed up a day early. This made my car camping trip very enjoyable and allowed me the space a 6' 2" guy needs to rest comfortably. i would highly recommend this to anyone that car camps! Great product, sets up in minutes!

Nice!

Works great with our mattress in the Model Y.

Perfect for car camping

This little thing can transform your car into a comfy tent. Get some side door window screens and enjoy the adventure sleeping in your car almost anywhere you can legally park it.

We haven't shared a list of vehicles due to how many makes, models, are sold internationally. When the Backseat Bivy was launched in 2021 the founders went from dealership to dealership installing the Backseat Bivy, and trying it out in as many used vehicles within the community to assess how it works. From all our research we have found that if the compatibility guidelines are followed most people can assess whether a Backseat Bivy works in their vehicle. The bivy has worked in many different vehicles from Subaru's to Tesla's, and even in some smaller cars like the Pontiac Vibe. The daisy chain allows the rear straps to easily configure to your vehicle. We are always happy to discuss your vehicle, hit us up via the chat in the bottom right corner or hello@backseatbivy.com if you have questions.
The Backseat Bivy works in a wide variety of vehicles, and really shines in SUV's. The best way to see if the Backseat Bivy will work in your vehicle is:
1. Slide front seats forward.
2. Fold down rear seats.
3. Lay down in the back of your vehicle length wise, add camping mattress for comfort.
4. If your head is hanging over the gap (unsupported) and your head is not hitting the front seat the Backseat Bivy can add valuable head room to ensure that you get the sleep you need to conquer a big day outdoors.
Please refer to our compatibility flow chart.
1. Convenience, the Backseat Bivy sets up in under 2 minutes. When your packing up all you have to do is slide your front seats back and drive off. Say goodbye to packing up a wet tent.
2. Versatility of when you can camp. Camping in the spring in many parts of the world can be challenging with a tent due to snow and wet ground to set up camp. Sleeping in your car allows you to get off the ground and stay warmer.
3. Trailhead starts. Generally finding a good spot to put a tent near a trail head can be challenging, ie rocky ground. Camp where you park with your vehicle next to the trailhead, so you can have a little sleep in, and hit the trail at a reasonable time full of stoke and caffeinated.
4. Cost. You already own a wide variety of camping gear (mattresses/sleeping bags) so your nearly set for car camping. Complement your existing gear and turn your vehicle into a cozy camper for the price of 1 nights stay in a motel.
Sleeping in your SUV/Wagon won't be as luxurious as a sprinter van. A new high top converted van will generally cost at least $70,000 USD. The Backseat Bivy car camping set up works for people that own converted vans as well in conjunction with a 2nd vehicle and are looking for economical ways to travel on shorter trips in their fuel sipper SUV/Wagon/Car. It's a good feeling knowing you cut back on emissions, slept comfortably, and have your nice campsite paid for from all that gas money you saved.
We kept to a simple design, complexity equals potential for the product to break. So no cup holders on the Backseat Bivy, plus most people use a water bottle while camping right. The Bivy does help with a couple things though:
1. Act as a barrier so to keep your dogs in the back of the vehicle if you leave the Backseat Bivy hanging from the front headrests, and unattached form the rear seat. It actually does this really well!
2. Work as a make shift picnic blanket in the grass, although you may spill and stain the bivy.
We are sure the Backseat Bivy can do more but it really shines in helping you sleep way better in your vehicle.
