| Dangerous Car Seat I purchased the My Buddy car seat made by lookout. It is the type that holds two dogs. I had an awful scare, somehow Levi's tether strap got wrapped around Lily's neck! I have already contacted the company to ask that they change the "tether" to a harness or something else. I also returned the car seat. Levi is double Lily's size so he would of strangled her if I had not been in the car. Just an FYI if you have this seat. They are now in separate seats!

| glad that everything worked out. Thankfully my 2 pretty much stay on whatever side they are placed in the seat but them I usually place Hot Rod closest to me for that reason. He tries to get to me whenever he can so I usually keep my hand on him while he's in the seat.

| Thank you. I would of never thought that this could happen. I think it is a poor design that allows those straps to move back and forth so much. Thank god I was right there.

| Callie and Sammy have switched places many times in theres but have never done that it sounds like it was scary. Normally if we are taking them both some where together (thats when we use the my buddy) we have three people so there is some one in the back with them in case something happened and they got tangled.

| Oh my goodness! That had to be very scary for you! So, glad both are ok. Good that you contacted the company too. You might prevent this from happening to someone else!
