| Is he able to look out the window? That seem to make a world of difference for mine. Each of mine got sick riding in the carrier. At first I made a carseat from a basket with a pillow and harness, now I have the snoozer seat. I haven't had any issues since. Good luck.

| I had the same problem with Renji for a while too. I uesd to keep him in his carrier, but he would always end up carsick, whining and generally disliked the car. I don't know what a snoozer seat is (though I imagine it is very similar to what I have), but I have what looks like a box with lining that has a strap that goes around the headrest of the seat and is up high enough for a small dog to look out the window. It has a strap that connects to his harness to keep him safe. Keep in mind, this is actually something I bought at the store, not a box I decorated, haha. At first, he wasn't sure what to make of it and he would constantly brace himself on both sides. But now that he has gotten used to it, he LOVES the car and hasn't once gotten carsick or stressed out by being in the car. If you just google search pet car seat, you will find tons of products that are exactly what I'm talking about. Good luck! |

| Sorry, haven't been on in a while. I got my snoozer seat from Petco.com. You can pretty much find it on the net everywhere but it was free shipping there. It is a booster type seat and the top of it is like a "bucket" when your baby can sit, stand, or lay down. It hooks with your seat belt and it comes with a harness strap that attaches to your seatbelt onto your dog's harness. This is how he stays secure in the seat. I got the deluxe model which has a pull out drawer...I keep toys, leash and water bowl in it. When I need the seat for a passenger, I just unbuckle and move, it is really easy. There are several models and sizes. I got the smaller of the 2 and both pups were able to fit in. I think mine is rate for up to 18 lbs. I really like it and feel secure in know that they are attached safely and they can look out and see what is going on. Good luck!

| My hubby just got the Snoozer console car seat for Milo! We love it since he literally sits right next to our face and he gets a view from the front dash! He doesn't get to stick his head out the window because he's too small but with the console seat he gets to experience the wind blowing in his hair while safely strapped in his seat. IT's awesome ... I have to post pics for you later!

| Oh this is a great post!! Buddy always rides in his carrier with the door open but he always gets sick, I have always felt it was from the motion but I will try a seat for him and see how it goes

| Give him about four drops of Rescue Remedy 45 minutes before he goes in the car. Also get a lookout car seat so he can see what's going on. |
