| snoozer single or double car seat? Hi I am going to purchase a snoozer car seat and I am thinking about the double bc Pixie and Daisy love to be next to eachother. Has anyone purchased the double? I would love opinions on this.

| I think there will be a lot of crying going on after you start using the car seat. Treats, treats, treats and more treats will be necessary. I would probably start taking the Bailey on short trips in the cars seat...

Daisy has been traveling with us for years and does fine. I was more concerned about Pixie. So I am guilty as charged for letting Pixie in my lap. No more bc I think if there were an accident the air bag could kill her and I said to myself I have to seat belt her in for her safety and she will get use to it. She already has we started taking short drives with her in her car seat. Within 1 week she was fine

| thanks for your story! i'm really needing a car seat for Bailey bc i was just in a car accident last friday and the airbags could have gone off. Bailey wasn't with me, but I had just dropped him off. i keep going over the "what if's". i just need to do something before i become the reason he gets hurt of killed... Quote:

Your smart getting a car seat bc you had a good scare. I think I like the snoozer it has good ratings. I need a double though.

| I just wanted to add some very important information about car seats for our babies...whichever brand or style you choose please, please please do NOT place the seat in your front seats! In the event of an vehicle collision that deploys airbags...it could be FATAL! Our fur babies welfare should be considered the same as for a human infant/child and please reconsider EVER allowing them to sit on your laps or in a front seat...carseat or not! With that said, I have "three" of the "small" snoozer brand booster seats for my girls...just like human kids...they prefer not to touch eachother in the car...lol! This brand of car seat is absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend them to all of my families who adopt my Foster Yorkies.

Bella is always in the backseat in her carrier which is secured by the seatbelt. She LOVES going for car rides (although she can't see anything at all from her vantage point). She just has to peer out through the mesh, low on the back seat & enjoy the vibrations of the ride. I've wondered about the booster seats - but, being an overly-protective mom, I find they seem so "open". Are the little ones only secured via leash? Is that safe? (I don't mean to question your care for your babies, I'm sincerely wondering - because if it's all good, I want one! ) Pardon my ignorant question but what if you brake suddenly, don't they fly off their booster seat and are left hanging by their leash? (How's that for a visual ). I just prefer Bella in her all enclosed carrier which I know is tightly secured via seatbelt - she's not going anywhere! All that being said... as a mommy who likes to pamper her baby, if Bella could 100% safely enjoy a view, that'd be fantastic! Can someone explain to me what happens if you stop suddenly or (worse) are involved in a collision and your little one is on a booster seat? - Signed, overly protective mom Edited to add: I'm sorry - I don't mean to hijack sweet Daisy & Pixie's thread with my question(s).

I agree with putting the car seat in the back seat. the snoozer does have a strap to hold them in and it has a safety strap to strap into the back seat so it is safe that is why I am going with the snoozer.Snoozer Pet Products - Dog Car Seats - Dog Beds - Dog Carriers I have heard good reviews. since I got the car seat from pet co Pixie loves looking out the window and does not get car sick. I hate the one from pet co bc there is really no sides on it so I glued a pet bed in it. It does strap into the car and then it has a harness you secure her in it with. I just think the snoozer is nicer made. I think both her and Daisy will like it being able to cuddle and look ou the window. I feel Comfortable that will be safe So maybe you should check it out for Bella. I wish Pixie liked her carrier but she goes insane jumping around hitting her head I was a wreck just driving to the vets, I was always afraid she was going to give herself a head injury. lol she was like the tazmania devil in that carrier. I even tried buying a soft one and that was worse she would try to bite her way out of it. lol she was a wild woman in it!! So for me and my sanity I have to go with a car seat. lol

| Oh great info! Thank you for taking the time to explain it all. I was looking at the site with Snoozer Lookout Seats - lots of great choices. I don't know what Bella will do when she can actually see what's going on - I hope it doesn't turn her into the Tasmanian Devil! LOL From the sound of it, I think Pixie & Daisy would love the double. If/when you get one, you'll have to let us know how it works - and, of course, post pics of your sweet models travelling happily.

| I have the double snoozer car seat My furbabies love to be right beside each other all the time, so I thought it would be best to get the big one and let them sit together. I also have the single one but one of them would try their best to jump over to the other one to sit with, so I had to get the double car seat and I'm stuck with the single one also, guess I will have to try and sell it. |
