| Quick question about Snoozer car seat I am going to buy Layla a snoozer for our SUV. Now the measurements say it is 12 inches wide, however, when I measure the space between the two front seats- it is smaller than that by an inch or two- do you just squeeze it in there? I can't imagine they would make a product that does not fit- so what am I missing? |

| there are different size snoozers. i think the one i got was the medium size. i know they make one that is very small. i put mine right on the seat , either in the passenger seat in the front or in the seat in the back. your car seatbelt will hold it in place. how big is your yorkie cause the smallest one is very small. not sure how it is secured.l.. dont know much about the smallest size

| I've got the console one and it is bigger than the top of the console by about an inch all the way around. It works perfect! Here is a picture of Fergie in hers. Fergie School.jpg

| I bought a console Snoozer for Betty Boop about 2 months ago for our 3/4 ton pickup truck. I think they only come in small and large. Since Betty Boop weighs 5.5 lbs, I bought the large and it is perfect for her size. It fits perfectly on the console and it for sure takes up the ENTIRE width of the console. It doesn't touch either seat at all. The only problem I have found with ours is that it doesn't seem very secure after I strap it down. You could call the company and ask them which seat you should order for your particular SUV. Sorry I wasn't much help. However, I really, really like ours and so does Betty Boop. She jumps right into it.

| It kinda hangs off the back of the counsel so it can be level. I got Ahi the littlest one and she has room to grow about 2 more pounds. I drive an Armada and it fits well because of the back being off the counsel a bit. I have it strapped down tight and it doesn't budge. I love my Snoozer. Here is a pic of her on the way to drop off her sissy's to school.

| Marcella.... we don't have the console type, but the snoozer seats ARE "squeezable". I do think the small does sound like it is VERY small.

| Thanks guys! we got the larger one as I wanted it to be long enough for Layla. It takes about 1-2 weeks for delivery so I am anxious to get it and see how it fits. We travel so much and Layla spends a lot of her time in her crate strapped in to the seat belt but she does like to come out and I want her to be safe. |

| I have one exactly like Ahis momma....i've already had to take the cover off and wash it. It's money well spent and if your baby won't get over 5 lbs or so...it will last for the life of the dog. Mine is roughly 8 inches wide and 12 inches long. I think the console style is best because they are beside you but also can see out if they sit up. Chloe will sit up a while then lay down and chew on her toy until we arrive. At first, the first couple trips didn't go so well. To get her used to it, I took her on small trips to the bank and back, etc. She loves to ride now! |
