Truck Pet Barrier Suggestions

I am due to have our first human baby in a week. I drive an SUV, with the dogs in the far back and the baby seat will be in the back seat so there's no problem there. The problem is with my husband's truck. The dogs ride in the back seat with seat belts on, putting them in crates in the back of the truck isn't an option since it regularly gets to -20C (-4F) or colder in the winter, and my golden retriever who is nearly 4 years old has never in her life been inside a crate. I am hoping to find a pet barrier that divides the back seat of the truck so the dog's have 2/3 of the back, and then the baby seat will fit in the other 1/3. Do these exist? I'm not really worried about the dog's behaviour with the baby, they are great with kids and I don't worry that they will bite at or harm the baby intentionally, it's more for safety if we ever get into an accident. The dog seat belts still allow a fair amount of movement, and I don't want the dogs to slam into the side of the baby seat if we were ever in an accident. Any suggestions?

We most likely will use the SUV when we all go somewhere, but sometimes we need to take hubby's truck if we need to take a lot of stuff with us, like if we were to go camping and want to take bikes, etc with us. Usually when we go to the cabin we take the truck because we end up having to haul some wood or supplies for fixing/building something. It's not a situation we are in a lot, but I would like to have a solution for the times when we do all need to be in the truck.
