End travel anxiety and upgrade your van life. Provide a stable, elevated perch between your front seats so your dog can enjoy the view and stay close to you.

Transform your road trips with the Out There Vans Mercedes Sprinter Dog Platform. Specifically engineered for van life with dogs, this sturdy elevated platform fills the empty space between your front seats to create a stable, secure perch for your pet. By raising your canine co-pilot to window level, it helps reduce dog carsickness and travel anxiety, allowing them to enjoy the view and stay right by your side.

Key Features
  • Anxiety-Reducing Elevation: Specially designed to raise your dog to window level, allowing them to see the road ahead and stay close to you, which helps eliminate travel anxiety and carsickness.
  • Flat-Pack Design: The platform easily breaks down into a flat profile, allowing you to stow it away effortlessly when in camp or when extra floor space is needed.
  • Secure Aisle Fit: Engineered for a snug, "no-rattle" fit between factory seats. Includes integrated side notches for bungee cord attachment to ensure the platform remains stable on bumpy or off-road journeys.
  • Bed-Ready Depth: Sits slightly below your front seat height. This "recessed" design ensures that a medium-sized dog bed or crate pad stays securely in place and won't slide off while driving.
  • Tool-Free Assembly: Features a simple slot-and-keyhole construction that allows for rapid setup and teardown without the need for hardware or tools.
Van Compatibility
  • Perfect Fit for Mercedes Sprinter Vans: Specifically designed and CNC-cut for a precise, snug fit between your Sprinter's factory bucket seats.
  • Parking Brake Compatibility: Compatible with both manual and electronic parking brake models (includes a specific cutout on the driver's side for brake clearance).
What's Included
  • Out There Vans Dog Platform: (5) Cross supports, (2) side supports, and (1) interlocking topper.
  • Printed Assembly Instructions: Simple, step-by-step guide for quick, hassle-free setup.
  • Complimentary Out There Vans Coozie: Perfect for toasting to your dog’s new favorite seat once you reach camp!
Technical Specifications
  • Material: Robust 3/4" premium Baltic Birch plywood.
  • Weight Capacity: Tested to support up to 170 lbs (Human-tested for pet safety).
  • Contoured Engineering: The base is designed to perfectly compensate for the natural upward slope of the Sprinter cabin floor, providing a level surface for your dog.
  • Finish: Natural, unfinished wood (sanded and ready for paint or stain).

Important Notes & Pro Tips

  • Model Specificity: While our dog platforms share the same functional design across all van models, each is precision-engineered to the unique dimensions of its specific chassis. Please note that lifestyle photos may feature the platform in a ProMaster or Transit; however, this listing is specifically for the Mercedes Sprinter model.
  • Bungee Cords: Notches are integrated into the dog platform topper for extra security, but bungee cords are not included. We recommend purchasing a standard bungee cord variety pack to accommodate varying seat-base heights and aftermarket swivel-seat setups.
  • Natural Wood Product: Variations in wood grain and color are normal and not a defect. To prevent warping from van temperature fluctuations, we strongly recommend priming and sealing with an exterior-grade finish.
  • Assembly Tip: When installing the topper, ensure the parking brake cutout is facing the driver's side of the vehicle.

At first I thought Wow

"At first I thought Wow this is a little pricey but this platform is very well made and very high quality. It fits perfect. I also bought the Hest cushion to go with it."

Sue B. (5/5)

My chihuahua loves it !

"Excellent quality and very sturdy. It gives my dog a safe, comfortable place to ride while adding valuable storage underneath. It fits my Sprinter perfectly and has been one of my favorite van upgrades. Highly recommend!"

Kerri M. (4/5)

Just what she (the dog) always wanted

"This really helped my normally nervous pup chill on rough and windy roads."

Game Changer

"We have two Border Collies (Amii and Wicket) that don't like the be close to each other. Now they can both be close to us but not each other. It makes a big, big difference."

Pete (5/5)

It was beautifully made but

"It was beautifully made but it didn’t fit with our sofa-bed mod so we had to return it."

Janet (5/5)

Our dog loves it!

"Our French bulldog loves this platform, and so do we. He used to insist on being in someone’s lap or at our feet the entire drive. Now he has his own spot with his dog bed on top, he rides right in the middle of the van where he can see everything, and everyone is happy. The storage underneath is a great bonus and we added a dog ramp to the back so he can go back and forth on his own. One note: it fits our 2025 Sprinter but is a bit loose and wobbly out of the box — we stuffed a blanket along the side and that fixed it. Overall a really solid addition to the van. Highly recommend for any Sprinter owners traveling with a dog who has strong opinions about where they sit."

Why did I wait so

"Why did I wait so long to buy this?? Koda loves the addition seat as do I. It creates a nice storage spot underneath as well."

Jenny P. (5/5)

Hazelnut loves her new perch.

"This platform lets my dog see out while driving. I did use a foam piece to keep it snug between the seats. This platform also holds my weight when I need to step up and over it. Very solid. It helps to scoot the driver's seat back when I need to get back and forth. This also extends the area for Hazel to sleep at night. She gets the passenger seat."

Anne H. (5/5)

Great platform overall and I

"Great platform overall and I think it will work well for us! However, summers where we live are very humid, and we cannot fully get the pieces in place. The platform was extremely hard to put together as it appears that the cross supports expanded (got wider) therefore making it extremely difficult to insert them into the holes. The video shows the platform quickly being disassembled and re-assembled. We definitely cannot get ours apart, nor can we fully get the top platform piece in place. Nevertheless it seems very sturdy as is and our dog seems happy sitting there. Perhaps in winter when it’s less humid we will be able to get the top piece fully positioned."

Perfect fit!

"Perfect fit!"
