| Which car seat do you have and how do you like it? I am looking at getting a look out car seat for my babies. Would like to get one that both my yorkies fit into and that have straps to attach both thier harnesses to. Any recommendations?

| I have 2 separate ones for my babies but I just saw a woman that had the snoozer lookout seat for 2 and it's amazing! I really liked it and there was plenty of room and nice straps. |

| I've been looking at the snoozer lookout seat for 2, and I think that's what I will be getting. So far, that's the best one I've seen.

| I bought the outward hound seat and Tetley hates it. He feels much more comfortable just riding around in his hard crate. He feels safer in there - he gets nervous when he can see all the traffic. |

| I have the My Buddy Lookout and it's huge - takes up most of my backseat. I originally had the Lookout but decided since it's just the 3 of us in the car that I'd get one where they have room to stretch out if they want

| I have 2 outward hound seats, I'm not pleased with them. They kind of tilt back toward the seat. I'd love to get the large lookout because my dogs are 9 and 12 pounds. But they are pretty expensive.

| I have the buddy lookout and it DOES take up most of the backseat! Sometimes, they get tangled in the two straps. But for the most part, I/they love it. I also have a console seat - but it is only for one. Then I have another seat that "hangs" from the back of the front seat (it is elevated off the seat of the front seat, if that makes sense) - and they like it too.

| I have tried the little Console Lookout, the big Lookout, The Outward Hound, and the harness that clicks into the seatbelts. Not one of them satisfied me, so I took matters into my own hands. I decided what I felt was important: Something strong and hard and something to hold Max in so that he wouldn't slide around, something that didn't tilt, hang, close him in, move around and something that attached by both the shoulder and the waist seat belt. I dont like the Lookout because it really isn't held by the seat belt. I wanted a soft inside and a harness that really held on tight to the car seat. My solution: a rectangular laundry basket which has those slits in it that I can put the seat belts right through, nice and tight. The harness also hooks into a slit and ties into the seat belt in case the slit cracks. I lined it with a towel, a fleece blanket, put his little bed in there, and am so pleased with the results. I'lll take a picture as soon as I remember. The whole thing cost me around $8.00 (for some reason the Rubbermaid laundry basket was on sale) plus the old harness, and the old bed.

| I also have the Snoozer My Buddy Lookout and it is huge - particularly if you have a midsize or sport coupe car!!!! But, they have plenty of room to completely stretch out. I believe you need to order the 2nd strap though, mine did not come with two. But, it is easy to use. Here is a photo of the two of them tuckered out after a day of shopping........ I also have a Snoozer console, cause Sissy still likes riding close to us!!!!!

| I have the snoozer lookout II carseat in hot pink! Bella absolutely LOVES it and so do i, because its hot pink of course! anyway the first time i put her in it she snuggled up and went to sleep in it! its all foam under the cover so it is super comfy! all you do is strap it into the seat and then hook her harness with the strap! its almost too easy! long story short Bella and I LOVE it!

| I'm also looking for a furbutt carseat for Beau. He's around 13 pounds so I need something that he will fit in comfortably, but I don't want something that he can get out of! Another thing, how do you guys feel about putting your dog in the front passanger seat? I think Beau would be more comfortable, but then I think about safety and I'm unsure...

| Buddy is too big for a car seat so we use a seat belt harness. It keeps him in the passenger seat and if I have to hit the brakes he will not go flying. He won't stay in the back seat which is where I would prefer him to be. |

| I use 2 of the oversize lookout carseats for my 4 and they all stay put in them and love to go bye-bye. My jack russell mix is 13 lbs and there is still plenty of room. They do take up a whole row of seats but I have a 7 passenger vehicle so it works out great. They ride in the back row and can see out all the windows. |

| Re: car seat! Hi, I wanted to get a car seat for boobah, so she can see the highway as we travel. Instead I have her in a travel case and she is forever fidgety and yelps until we get where we are going. What do these seats look like? I mean, do I strap her in, can she see out the window? Where can I buy them? Thanks a million!
