Worthwhile purchase! October 8, 2009
Erniesma (Wash, D.C.)
I was lucky to find this car carrier at a discount store, so I figured, "Why not give it a try?" I have two dogs, an 8 lb. toy poodle and a 20-lb. bichonish dog. Both tend to be terrible in the car, and dealing with two of them jumping around has never been any fun.
This seat was very easy to install. I am terrible with spatial relations, so if I got it in easily (and back out and in again), anyone can do it. (I agree with the other reviewers who believe it requires a headrest, but I don't think my dogs would tolerate the back seat anyway, so it's okay that I only know how to put it in the front seat.)
To keep the seat positioned high and level, I installed it high and slanted up in the front. That makes it like a reclining airplane seat -- the dog naturally leans back a little and her weight levels her.
I first tested the seat with a few trips around the block with my bichon. As I wrote, he's 20 lbs., but he fit in the seat sitting up. And he was surprisingly content. (Not perfect, but he didn't flip out as he does with the harness seat belts.) He could put his paws out over the edge of it and seemed to feel much less confined than he does in the harness seat belts.
Next I tested the seat with both dogs in the car, which meant only one dog in the seat -- I put the toy poodle in it.
She is not particularly interested in looking out the window, but one way or another, she is much more content in this booster seat than she is in a doggie seat belt/harness. She also goes nuts in those and wriggles out. Even though the clip to her harness is short (another inch or two would be nice), she doesn't strain at it or try to get out. And having one dog secured in the car keeps the other one quieter. He sat more calmly next to her, almost tucked partly under the bottom of her seat. He did jump a bit from back to front, but he was more inclined than usual to stay put on the seat with her (and he doesn't like her, so it must have been more about the calm example she set or his desire to remain part of the clan up front).
Finally, as many people have said, it is a phenomenal change not to see the toy poodle fly forward when I hit the brakes. Driving was much less stressful without worrying about her flying into the dashboard.
I just wish they made this to hold two small dogs. I've seen pictures of those, but they are $80-$100.
Doggie car seat September 29, 2009
Mud Ducky (Mn/WI)
We found this item to be a lot of fun. Our puppy took a bit of time to get used to it and we had to put something under it so it doesn't bounce much (she got sick, you can guess how so). But she stays put, looks all over and seems to enjoy the view. It also keeps her in place and safe. Worth the money? Yep.. It's almost worth it to just show your friends you have a doggy car seat.
My chihuahua likes it August 20, 2009
Jennifer Smith (FL, USA)
My 5.8 lb chihuahua really likes being able to sit up high and watch what is going on from his new seat. I like that he is safely secured - but he still tries to climb out now and then. He would prefer to sit in my lap or jump from seat to seat, but it was too distracting.
It is a bit of a pain to uninstall and reinstall the booster seat, if you need to take it off and on to accommodate the occasional front-seat passenger. However, the process only takes about 3 min. I do like how lightweight this seat is. (The heavier, plush models the local dog boutiques carry would make moving the seat much more difficult.)
I put a towel inside the seat to make it a more comfortable nest for him. I also added a small carabiner onto the harness clip, to extend it so he could lay down and nap. Before, he could only sit upright.
We keep a small container of mini-treats in the car, and I toss one in before he goes into the seat. That helps him enjoy the process.
 love this booster seat!!! August 19, 2009
R. Turner (Goldsboro, NC)
This product was worth the money I paid. She loves it and theresore I love it. I really recommend those who do not have one and has a little one to purchase. You will not regret it. Price was very good and fair.
Great seat- just gets hot in the summer August 8, 2009
amazongirl (Somewhere great)
I love this seat - it is easy to install - I have it in the back seat - all you have to do is let down the back seat and fit it around like you would the front seat. The only problem that I have seen is that it gets hot - very hot. I will either have to run the AC for a few minutes to get it cooled down or put a small blanket in it to protect my pup. Otherwise it is so much safer than just letting my pooch run around my car.
