Car Seats

[Doxmom]

I was in Petsmart today looking at car seats. I never used one with my two previous dogs - but think it might be a good idea with the doxie. I was surprised to find one that adjusts to the passenger seat. Wouldn't the back seat be safer? Amazon.com: Pet Booster Seat w/ Faux Sheepskin Lining: Pet Supplies

Are any of you using one you could recommend?

I have my dog in the middle seat with a car harness

We use harnesses, too.

Not that we're all that safe, the dogs are still in the front seat with us, and can get into our laps while driving.

Just to clarify, I do the driving. Fortunately, neither Frank nor PD have shown much interest in taking the wheel.

I use a harness for my guy too, though after watching this series of videos I'm seriously beginning to consider a carrier (like the ones the air lines use) or some other type of crating system in my car.

A cage in the back of the car would be safer for all. Nothing can fall on the dog in a crachs and the dog dosent come flying in a crasch.

Yikes, Steph. After reading that, I'm thinking that a harness will not do a good job in protecting our pets. And I'm leary about the front seat in any case.

We have a wire crate in the back of our suv for our two dogs they dont mind and it keeps shedding away from seats! I find it convenient cause it's collapsible so if i don't have the dogs with me and need space I can just put it away.!
