I have both the Snoozer console and the Snoozer My Buddy Lookout. Sissy started in the console seat and loves it there. She does not like being in the My Buddy in the backseat, but Angel doesn't mind as this is where she began. So, I think that if you are just starting out, the backseat version will most likely work for you.
As for the console seat, I love having Sissy right next to me. I have also seen varying weights on different sites up to 6 lbs. Also, unless you ordering lots of stuff from PetEdge to offset the extremely high shipping they charge for either of these seats, check out some of the "Buy it Now" deals on Ebay that offer free shipping. Just do a search on Snoozer Car Seats and at the bottom of the page they will have several listings for Ebay stores at buy it now prices.
