No cargo barrier is going to be effective in a serious crash unless you weld in iron bars behind the third row seat. You're only kidding yourself if you think a cheap impromptu cargo barrier is going to prevent a 35 pound suitcase from flying through the passenger compartment in a serious crash. I have seen crashes where people are more seriosuly inured by flying objects within the passenger compartment than they are by the crash alone.

Got to agree partially, the pet style ones are garbage.
Welding to the vehicle would be an extremely poor choice of installation. Most quality barriers are bolt in affair and work just fine. Anything out of Australia is excellent as they're required to get them tested there before sale. A good example would be those made by Milford. Problem is most of the manufacturers don't make them to fit an excursion.

Has anyone got pics of what they are using? Going on a 4000 mile trip next week So I would love suggestions of how to secure cargo that is easier then strapping everything to the floor.

Yeah, I'm wondering if someone has a barrier between the 3rd row seat and the cargo area that will prevent the stuff in the cargo area from flying into the passenger area. I am trying to get away from straping and unstraping everything each time we stop and someone "needs" something from their bag. I'm picturing something tthat creates a barrier so I can throw the bags in and if we have an accident it will keep them from flying forward.
Probably dreaming too big, but thats why I got the Ex in the first place. Go big or go home.

Pet barriers are to keep your pets contained in a certain area.

After thinking about this some, I coming to think this is the best way of doing it, and gives you maximum versatility.
