Oh my! Fancy schmancy!

I just bought one today, but it's a simpler design than that one - it's just a big, cloth booster seat, basically. It has divots on the back for the seat belt to slide through, and a tie-out to attach the dog and the seat belt together. So far I love it. That being said, I'm not sure if Thor loves it so much that he would choose not to vomit, if he were a car vomiter.

I would probably get two so that if one gets puke in it, you only have to clean up one dog. I think it MIGHT help with the vomiting because the dog can stick his head out the window, and being outside of the carrying case might make him less nervous.

As for whether they will work in the backseat - I think it depends on the shape of the seat and the shape of your car. From what I can see, the one you linked two would not be good for the back seat, because it looks like it has a piece that ties around the back of the seat? Maybe you could try just one for the puker, though, and put the other dog in the back. I'm pretty sure the one I have would work in the back seat, because it just needs the seat belt to slide through the back and then tie out to.
