| What do you use in the car? I used to keep Bella in the purse that I carried her in and buckled that in the car but then she got too big for that. So I bought this little seat thing that I attacher her harness too, but she managed to jump out and was all tangled up..so that's out. So I need some suggestions as to what you guys use. Thanks! |

| What kind of seat is it? The Pet Gear booster has tethers that are too long for little dogs, so I tied a knot in mine and that made it the perfect length. Snoozer might be a better option for keeping your pup in the seat. Sometimes they need to be trained to stay in the seat. Try practicing in an empty parking lot and/or having someone ride along with you. One person can drive while the other trains your pup.

| I use the Easy Rider harness as well as a seat belt attachment, both from Petsmart. So far so good. It also allows her to look out the window if she wants. |

| I use a laundry basket. My husband helped me make it. He has it so it buckles around the back of the seat to keep it secure and then we have part of the leash (I use two because I take two Yorkies at a time with me) to buckle into their harness. And, a pillow on the bottom of the basket for comfort. Cheap and works better then any car seat you can buy. Beans and Lilly in it. |

| I put Tibbe in his airline type carrier that the seat belt passes through to keep it secure and put soft toys in the carrier together with the rug to soften the blows should we take a hard hit or turn over. His head, eyes and body are protected in there from flying projectiles such as cell phone, sunglasses, objects from my purse, from shopping bags and flying glass, etc.

| Couver and Khloe ride in a PetGear booster seat. It has two straps so they are each strapped in by their harness. It also boosts them up so they can see out the window. They love riding in the car.

| Mrs. Beasley in her car seat. It straps behind the seat and over the headrest. It attaches to her harness. She loves it and would rather sit in it instead of my lap.

| I love the snoozer car seats and so does Callie as well as my moms yorkie Sammy. We have a big one for when we take them places and then each has there own. The first two pictures are Callie in hers and the last picture is both of them in the big one.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Mine are in their PetsFly carrier with the seat belt around the carrier. Pixie and Roxie prefer to be enclosed in it. Cali not so much.

| In my car I use a small Snoozer carseat (backseat) and a nochoke car harness. In the truck we either move her carseat or she is wears her harness and is tethered to the seatbelt with a strap that has a Karabeaner on each end. |
