| Car Seat Question Does anyone have this carseat? Or know anything about it? Like it/Dislike it? Mikki is giving me problems by twisting herself in the car seat. I was thinking about ordering this one because she would be closer to me. I think it might make her happier. Any feedback is appreciated. Amazon.com: Small Snoozer Console Lookout Car...

| I have two Snoozer car seats but not the console seat. I wanted the console seat but then again, mine like to look out the windows. The Snoozer seats seem to be really comfortable, I think Buster & Maggie like them.

| Did you get the small or large? Mikki weighs about 4 lb. Thinking the small would work.

| I don't have a console seat for Ellie. Wanted one, but when purchasing I inquired about safety. The seller (may have been the Snoozer company themselves, now I forget) said it is not as safe as having your pup in the back. So unless you were planning on hooking it in the back, I wouldn't. But of course any carseat is safer than none at all.

| We have a Snoozer but Cali prefers the car seat that has a heater in it for the winter so we use it most of the time. It plugs into the cigarette lighter and stay on for only 20 minutes at a time, but heats up really quickly. Highly recommend it if you live in cold country in the winter.

| Levi has the Snoozer, but not the console seat - the regular seat in a size small. We love it!

| I have one of those booster car seats that hangs in mid air. This is because that when there is no weight on the passenger seat, the airbag is deactivated. You need to consider safety when you purchase car seat if your baby sits in the front. Airbags can kill them if you get a regular car seat. I hope your car has this feature. |

Unfortunately I'm not able to turn off my passenger airbag, so ZoE has to ride in the backseat. It's a bit of a pain walking around and strapping her in there everytime, but at least she's safer.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0032O...098238&sr=8-26 I'm not to sure about the console ones- they don't really seem that safe to me. The one I have goes in the back and buckles in- I put it in the middle too! I got him a large so he has sunggle room- I also put a blanket in there- I can't tell you how much he loves it!! Its not so much what they like - all that matters is that they are as safe as possible!!

| Yes! This is Sophie in her Snoozer. It's well made and very comfortable for Sophie. She is 4lbs and this seat is plenty big enough for her to lay down. It has a strong safety harness, straps to the seat belt and is very safe. . She can easiely see out the back window, too.

| Sophie Kate has a brand new Snoozer (single), it was her early Christmas present. Previously we had one of those hanging carseats and it worked fine but I got a new car and it did not fit well (went from a Sedan to an SUV). I did not get the console Snoozer, Sophie Kate likes to look at the window and more importantly if she is that close to me she wants to sit on my lap. Sophie Kate seem to really like her Snoozer, it is not unusual for her to fall asleep in it. Usually I put the Snoozer in the backseat but I did call the car manufacture about the front seat and was told that as long as there is not 60 lbs of weight on the seat my airbags are not enabled (when there is a light comes on stating the airbags enabled).

| My car does turn off the air bags as well. I guess my problem is that Mikki just wasn't used to riding in a car seat until we got her. She spends the entire trip trying to get out of it. While Rosie just lays there. My thinking was that if she was closer to me that she would calm down a little. But if safety is an issue than I need to reconsider. I have just been afraid she might get tangled and choke herself.
