Consider if a cart that gets hit, rolls on its side, or rolls over. Also consider making a panic stop, or making a tight turn, or running over a big bump. The restraint needs to keep the dog 100% inside the cart without allowing any part of the dog to be put in a position where it can be pinned beneath cart body parts. That equates to a short tether (12 to 18 inches).

Tether needs to be attached securely, where it won't slip free or pop off the anchor point.

And finally, while driving normally must prevent the dog from falling out of the cart, or hanging partially out being dragged along the pavement. You cannot stop fast enough to prevent serious injuries.
