Snoozer car seat pics

As some of you may know back in June I was in a bad car accident and my explorer was totaled.

I knew I would have to have Annie in a carseat in order to feel safe with her in the vehicle again. I looked around did research and decided on the Snoozer brand. I was even able to special order it to match my explorer and Annie.

I can not begin to tell you how much better I feel about this. She is securely fastened into the carseat and to the vehicle.

Last week my husband and I went to Seattle for the day. It is a 3 hour trip across 2 mountain passes. 1 of the mountains is pretty curvy. Annie and the carseat stayed put, they did not move or slide at all what so ever!!!

She seems to really like being in it and she can see out all of the windows. She actually ducked when we turned on the window washer.

She looks really happy in it, I know it makes you happy Muriel, and by the way....
Annie is gorgeous....

That is a very nice car seat and your baby look so happy, good for you

I just got one myself that I bought from another YT member. I love it! And my babies love it too!

Those car seats are the best!! We move ours from vehicle to vehicle..... and the also ride it it when we are going down the road in the RV. We have the oversized one (works for 2 fubabies) and it isn't as "bulky" as the buddy size one. We have the one with the handy drawer underneath. LOVE IT!

First, let me say what a cute girl you have.
Second of all your post has made me think.
I am on the road a lot. When I drive to my moms its about 25 minutes one way. I work there. We run a business and she is where I do all my work.
Anyway, Winstin goes with me every time. I put him is his crate a couple times but he did not like it and neither was I impressed. It moved to much.
So, needless to say he lays on my lap. I have been seeing bits and pieces about carseats, but was unsure. Right now my baby is 3.8 pounds and I would die if something happened to him. especially because of me being careless.
Where do I find such carseats and whatever I need to go with it?
You and Annie may have saved my babies life and others who read this thread. Thank you for posting it.

Very nice seat and a great reminder for safety.

Can I ask where you got yours? I'm thinking of trying to find one where Wylie (7.5 lbs) and Marcel (2.5 lbs) could sit togther in it - do you think they could?

Snoozer car seats are sold many places. I got both of mine on Ebay (I have the regular console seat and the My Buddy Lookout). They had the best prices since most of them ship withou cost. You can also find them at several online stores (Tinkerbell's Closet is just one).

There are a couple other brands/styles of carseats out there as well. Outward Hound makes one that many here have. I tried that one first as it is much less expensive and my Sissy hated it. Plus, I only had headrests to connect it to in the front seat - and you are never supposed to put one of these car seats (other than a console) in the front seat due to airbags.

Whichever seat you decide on, they supply everything you need to secure it to the car as well as your pup. All of them require some kind of harness on your pup that you supply (to get tethered in with). Hope this helps.

Annie looks very comfortable in her new seat. The peace of mind that comes with these seats is worth every penny. Plus, the pups just seem to love riding in them!!!

We love our Snoozer console and so glad that I got mine after reading so many good things about it here on YT. The longest Izzy has been in her Snoozer is 2 hours and there were no problems. She mostly sleeps but when she's up she can see out the front window and also be right next to me.

I also got mine on Ebay with shipping I think it ran me $50.

After reading your story I know I definitely have to get a car seat for my 2 furbabies. I try to take them with me all the time and make a lot of road trips to Miami/Ft Lauderdale. Annie looks very content and happy in her car seat. Is this the console car seat for SUVs? If you don't mind me asking, what type of SUV do you have. We have a Ford Explorer and I just wanted to make sure it would fit.

BTW, Annie is beautiful.

We have spent quite bit on expensive car seats and they always do the same thing. They manage to get themselves over the side and just hang there. We have decided on just finding the strap that goes on the car harness and hooks to their harness. They can't look out anymore, but it's better than having to stop every few minutes to get them back into their seats.

OMG - funny you should post this because Izzy did this for the first time this week while in her Snoozer and I almost had a heart attack because I was the only one in the car with her. Thank goodness no one was in the lane next to me because I sorta panicked and swerved right into this parking lot to pull her up - she was just hanging there over the side in the back and what made me made is because she was wearing a break-a-way collar and it didn't "break". My heart was racing so fast but she was OK and then I was OK. I still use the Snoozer but I keep watch on her when she turns around that's for sure.

Oh My. That is good to know. Now I really wonder what I should get Winstin. He sure is not safe on my lap.
